Pregnant after a Loss

Just when I am on the verge of a pregnancy meltdown

Everytime I am on the verge of breaking down because DH is driving me crazy, he pulls through. He doesn't know that I want to kill him, but he makes up for it surprisingly almost every time. 

Yesterday I was at my wits end. I was tired and my feet were killing me. I hadn't really seen DH or spent time with him in the past 1.5 weeks. I also was getting overwhelmed with feelings that DH just isn't into this pregnancy. I told him when I found Squishy's hb and all he said was "cool" and forgot about it. He just doesn't seem into it.

 So I get home last night about to cry. He was lying on the couch. I went and cuddled up next to him and we cuddled for about 20 minutes. That was nice and helped with feeling more connected. I decided to wait to bring anything up about the pregnancy until today. I was tired and knew that that had something to do with how I was feeling. 

We were getting in bed last night and he said out of no where "this weekend can you show me how the heart beat thing works?" I almost cried. It was that little acknowledgement and caring that I wanted.

He is a lucky man that he can save himself with the little things or he would have a hormonal, psycho, pregnant lady blow up at him.

  • Sometimes I really wonder about men! I'm glad your dh finally brought it up and showed some interest.

  • Aww that is sweet of him. Maybe its taking him a while to feel connected to this baby because of your previous loss? 

    I always think my DH knows exactly how I"m feeling even if I dont say anything. He always seems to save himself too.

    *hugs* I'm really tired today too. Hoping for some energy for the both of us soon!

  • He's a smart man Wink.

    Maybe the whole "not getting into it" is just his defense mechanism?? DH wouldn't get excited until I had the sonogram... at 13 weeks! I never said anything to him but it totally bothered me. Once I showed him the pictures, he said, "Now, I feel like it's real".

    In any event, it's nice that he's that connected to you to know just when you're at your wits end and what you need.

  • Aww, I am glad he made up for it!

    I know my husband is just laid back and sometimes it bugs me. I could see him saying something to the effect of "cool" when there is something that really excites me. I get it...but I am glad your DH made up for it.

  • Aww, what a great way to make you feel better. Yes

  • glad he made it up.

  • I am glad he is showing some interest. It is frustrating when you feel like you are doing everything alone.
