Trigger warning- how has your other half been during a miscarriage

I am going through a suspected miscarriage. My early pregnancy unit or gp won’t see me due to covid 19 restrictions on the hospital unless I am haemorrhaging and in a lot of pain. Which I am not. EPU said I don’t sound like I am having a miscarriage just yet and do just keep testing. My doctor surgery over the phone diagnosed me as having a miscarried so I am in the land of limbo and feeling very lost and depressed , I should be nearly 7 weeks pregnant.

I dunno what to expect emotionally of my other half for support as I know men are different. Can anyone shed advice on how their other halves acted and what I should /shouldn’t expect of him. I don’t want to expect to much and cause more strain on us during this emotional time

Mine held my hand during the EPU scans and was comforting.
My miscarriage took 2 weeks from The first bleed to passing the material, I was 8 weeks pregnant.
We supported each other but he couldn’t empathise with my been unhappy when my sister told me she was 7 weeks pregnant (the same day I told her I had miscarried) he just told me we would try again and it’ll be fine.
Just be kind to each other, remember that grief comes in all forms and he may distance himself from it or he may feel smothering.

I know that you’ve not had chance to go to an EPU and I don’t want to give false hope but my midwife told me that a lot of women bleed in early pregnancy and it can be harmless. It wasn’t my outcome but it could be yours I wish you all the best
