I didn't see that there was a thread started on this topic yet.
It is a topic I don't REALLY want to think about, but for me, it is my reality.. This is pregnancy 7, and I have had 3 live births. I know I am not the only one that is trying to carefully keep track of dates and symptoms and not get too excited too soon... or that conversely want to enjoy every second of pregnancy.
So here is where you can put your story.
I had a loss prior to my first (suspected ectopic).
I had a loss after my first (baby had stopped growing weeks before and I dealt with severe depression about this as it was not a spontaneous miscarriage at 15 weeks or so)
I had a loss this year July 4 after a couple of days of spotting. It was easier though since I knew more about what to expect..
Usually my dp is so focused on his pregnant wife from the minute he finds out.. but so far he is kind of avoiding this conversation. I know he is trying to guard himself against his own emotions (he takes each loss VERY hard and he is usually the guy that can't wait to share the news and run to the grocery store in the middle of the night for cravings and talk and kiss his wife's belly).. so it is so sad to see him purposely disinterested. It makes me want to cry really. But I know he isn't trying to be hurtful to me.
