Hey guys. I decided to sign up for reddit for some advice on a new issue in my family. I turned here for the anonymity, for my childs sake.My 17 y/o daughter recently had a miscarriage. About a week ago, she cried out to me from the bathroom that her period had been extremely heavy, to the point that there was something off, she also hadn't been due for it.We decided to go to the ER, they took her blood as well as urine. Once back in the room the doctor informed us that she was indeed pregnant, and that they would perform an ultrasound on her.After the ultrasound the doctor informed us that no child was visible and that my daughter had a miscarriage. It was all within maybe 20 minutes. Such an intense flurry of different emotions at once, we were due back on the 5 day mark for them to draw blood and make sure her HCG levels had gone down and they did.Ever since then she's been super depressed and guilty and I feel her pain. All she wants to do is sit in her room, she graduated from HS a semester early and is ready to go to college this fall, she hasn't left the house and she hasn't had a phone for a few months since she broke it. Im just worried about her she struggled with her mental health in the past, and has been suicidal, she hasn't even asked to see her boyfriend. She was about 7 weeks and has told me she had no idea. My father told her it was a blessing in disguise and she let him have it, she didn't want a child, but she didn't want to lose one either. I have tried to make her feel better, I myself had a miscarriage as a teen and knowing that its only been a week I am aware it will take time Im just so worried about her. I don't know the usual age of the children we talk about on this sub but maybe some other mom has been through this and has advice to offer?And before anybody judges me, my daughter hadn't ever made me aware that she was sexually active although it is something that I commonly ask, she is on the pill and I've purchased condoms for her. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2ENvbXB
