Its probably good that your OH is able to talk to you at least about how he feels - ie concern for you - try and remember that each and every one of us grieves differently and at different times (ie what you feel one day your partner may feel on another). I guess all I can suggest is to be kind to eachother and to keep talking.
Sending you a big hug.

My husband sounds similar to yours. Now that 18 months have passed he has told me that he had to stay strong for me as I needed him more. He felt helpless and was terrified of something happening to me. For him the effects came a lot later.
We watched the film "Up" and he just broke down. He can't watch anything to do with mc or ectopics as it upsets him so much.
I know it's a cliche but time does help. I still think of my lost bean. I remember all the dates and miss what could have been but as time passes you learn to live with it a bit better. But that has to be at your pace and at nobody elses.
It's irrelevant whether you have children already, it's that bean you're grieving for. People telling me I could have anothe rbaby upset me as it was my bean that I wanted and not another.
Hugs xx
Thanks ladies i cant get out of my head i would be having a scan next week i would be 12wks on sun and its driving me mad also worrying i dont think im ready to go back to work next sat so im considering going to see if they will sign me off for another week or so but im betting the doc says no but we'll see. its like time has stood still and i havent been off work at all im so tired all the time as low on iron i needed 2 bags of blood in hosp as i had lost so much.i still get a sharp pain if i have to move quick and with a 2yr old and a 3yr old thats quite often lol but i am feeling better than i was, i have been reading up on ectopics and im not that hopeful about trying again now we wouldnt yet anyway ive got to get over this.i'm thinking of planting a tree for the baby just to remember it by.
