Pregnant after a Loss

Intro & Special Question

Hi ladies - I'm pretty sure I'm 5w1d pregnant (EDD 3/12/14, by ovu date) after two miscarriages in 2010 (8wks) and 2011 (5 1/2 wks). I don't even have time to think about being excited or scared because I am too busy napping ALL THE TIME.  I started 100mg progesterone suppositories at 4w2d. My husband is a little amazed/grossed out that I have to put something in there every night, and he said, "If our child disrespects you when it's older, I will tell them you had to do this to save their life." Pretty sure labor will be a bigger deal than this, but whatever, I'm not complaining that he thinks we're a parenting team. 

 My anniversary is next week, but I have a secret hotel reservation for this weekend, and I'm kidnapping my husband for a night away with tons of fun plans the rest of the weekend. (Provided I can stay awake for kayaking on a lake and dinner at a steakhouse, I guess.) My midwife hasn't said anything about sexytime, and I might call her tomorrow, but I'm having really mixed feelings about what kind of celebrating we should do... What do you think? Part of me is all "heck yes," but.... another part of me wants to superglue everything from my crotch to my ankles for the next few months, just in case. My husband feels really attached to the baby and has a nickname for it already; if I tell him anything that happens is just for him for the baby's sake, he would not question it. Soooo - sexytime or no? What would you do? 

Can't believe I'm in love with my best friend ... wedding 7/2008 Missing baby Gideon ... surprise (good surprise!) bfp 8.07.10 miscarriage at 8 weeks on 9.04.10. edd would have been 4.15.11 and baby Joy ... surprise bfp 8.17.2011 miscarriage at 6 weeks on 8.26.2011

  • Thanks for the advice ladies! We went for it and I was spotting like crazy for 12 hours... ugh! So nervewracking! I am so hopeful for this baby! So I guess no more sexytime for a while. My husband says, "So we're back to procreation only?" We laughed. Hopefully everything is fine! I'm going to call the midwife back and get some betas drawn this week since I don't have the US scheduled until the 30th (and they probably couldn't see much at this point anyway.)
