I’m so sorry for your loss, I think from my experience (my sisters had two) the guy is terrified of it happening again. My sister was further along the second time and it was very traumatic. Give him time and he will hopefully come around. It may be worth talking to him about how you feel xx

I’m so sorry for your loss. My fiancé was a bit nervous love making after as he didn’t want to hurt me. He had seen me go through 3 weeks of a threatened miscarriage then 3 weeks of bleeding after. He didn’t want to cause me any pain afterwards. And I think the whole thing can be quite traumatic for partners too. I would give it some time and try and keep communication open. It’s such a hard thing to go through. Me and my fiancé had some fallings out afterwards, because my hormones were all over the place, but in the end we’re closer together. Just have patience and love for each other, things will get better x

I'm really sorry for your loss. I don't want to pry but was your conception via IVF? It's just that lots of clinics offer counselling or couples counselling as part of your treatment and if you think it might help you both to open up I'd always suggest talking to a professional if you have access to one.

I'm really sorry to hear that, you've been through so much. I have had anxiety and panic attacks over the years and so I would always say that professionals can help with whatever you're going through. Sometimes it can just help to have a safe space to open up
