Pregnant after a Loss

what to do

Dh and i have been married for almost 6 months (but together for 6 1/2 years). Our 1 year anniversary will be approximately 2-3 weeks after baby is born. If i you had someone willing, and can pump/ supplement with formula, would you do an early dinner with dh is my situation? I want to so badly, but i never left DD with anyone until she was 8 months old. Im torn. Im due june 6th and my anniversary is june 20th. Thanks for your input girls!

Re: what to do

  • I'd definitely go.  You only have a first anniversary once.  Do you have family close by?  You could maybe leave the baby with your mom or someone else you really really trust.

  • Nope, no family nearby but we have very close friends who are willing to take DD and the new baby. These people are like family. So i definately trust them. But hoping its not too much to leave a newborn. I mean worse comes to worse we could just leave DD and take the baby with us.

  • You still have quite a while before you really need to worry about it.  But after a few weeks with Kylie and a newborn, you may need a break for a few hours. 

    Check with the friends now and see what they say about watching both kids.

  • I'd go for it, and plan it out so that you aren't going super far away, aren't doing anything that will take a super long time etc. That way, if you're gone for 2 hours and just can't take it, you can go pick them up!

  • My SIL had to go to a dinner party with her DH last week. She brought my 3yo. nephew and 3 week old nephew over for 3 hours- never realized how many 3's there was to that. It was really great for everyone involved! I got quality cuddle time with a little cutie, my nephew got to feel special coming over for a play date with my DS- he has been a little jealous, and my BIL and SIL got out for a little while. I would definitely suggest you give it a try. Maybe don't even try to go to a reasturant for dinner, but do a picnick instead so that you could pack up and leave quickly if something comes up and you need to leave.
