Newbie, pregnant with IUD in place

Hey y'all,
I'm new to the group, today I'm 9w1d AND I have the Mirena in place. I know, what the heck! I am nervous, but I trust my dr and we are going to continue with the rest of my pregnancy with the IUD in. It seems everyone I know has an opinion on this. I didn't realize my friends and family knew more about my body than I did! I've heard everything from people pressuring me to have the Mirena removed to termination if the pregnancy. How did y'all deal with unwanted advice?

    I mean, if you have discussed it with your doctor and the decision you've made is one you're comfortable with, I think thats all there is to say. I know there are risks either way, so its not like theres an easy option that you're neglecting. Tell them thanks but you and your doc have it covered.

    ETA:

    Best of luck with your pregnancy!

  • I actually got a lot of "you could miscarry" when I announced to some people. I couldn't believe my ears. Like PP said, if you are comfortable with your decision you and your doctor came up with, then it's no one elses business what you do. But I can't say that will stop their unwanted opinions.  

    It's a BOY

    It is just so hard to hear!! People believe that all of a sudden your uterus is their business. I know I could miscarry. People don't need to tell me. I'm terrified, I need support, not the" your baby will be deformed if it lives" comments!
  • My immediate family knew I had it in place for treatment of pelvic pain, not BC. So it was not a planned thing that we went out of our way to tell our families. I was already unwell.
  • Oh wow! I currently have an IUD and I know the only 100% way to prevent pregnancy is abstinence...but I've never actually heard of anyone getting pregnant with theirs still in place! You must be going through so many emotions at the moment. I know I would be! Congratulations and H & H!!
  • I tell them to shut the motherfuck up is what I do. Unless its their uterus they need to MYOFB like, yesterday. You can quote me on that. [-(
