As much as it hurts us as women to experience something that tragic, our significant others go through a lot of mental and emotional pain in that situation as well. He probably just scared to try again too soon and having to go through the pain again. Give him sometime he will open up men just have their own process. My husband couldn't look me straight in the face for almost two months after we went through a miscarriage. Good luck girl praying for u and ur family

My husband had a really hard time talking about it after our first miscarriage last December. He was scared, hated seeing me in pain and didn't want me to ever have to go through that again. He thought I was just trying to be strong for his sake and our son's sake but I was just going through a different sort of healing process. He felt utterly useless and kind of abandoned - everyone asked him how I was doing but not a single person ever asked if HE was okay. I would break down and he didn't know how to fix it. It was a little easier when we lost another one in July because we'd been through it together before and were able to cope better.
Remember that he is suffering a loss too. He is heartbroken from the loss of the baby but also from having to watch you suffer. He's probably terrified that it might happen again. Give him time. Ask him if he wants to talk - not about another baby but about what you are both going through. Encourage him to make plans with his best friend or go out with the guys, so he doesn't have to keep up the "grieving and supportive husband" role constantly. He'll most probably come around. But it might take a little while.
I'm so sorry for what you are both going through. Extended torture, is what it sounds like. I wish you the best of luck in your journey, and a healthy rainbow baby in the future.
