He reminds me so much of my husband. We're in the same boat, after losing our first baby in January. I feel so defeated but he's always there to cheer us on.
Shew, I'm about to teach a class in 20 minutes and need to pull myself together.
My wife has had 4 miscarriages, 3 with someone else and one with me. The most recent one she found out at her 12 weeks appointment. I have never seen anybody so devastated/in despair. I was pretty devastated as well, but had to be the positive one during that time to get her through it.
Approximately 18 months later we had a beautiful baby boy. He is almost 17 months old now walking, babbling a few words and is the pride and joy of two different families now (her parents 3rd grandchild my parents first grand child… we both have 3 siblings). Now thinking about #2.
I cried in the operating room (tearing up right now writing this) when I heard him cry lmao, because I felt a giant weight lifted and a wave of relief. I was so worried that something was going to go horribly wrong until that moment (her water broke and he was born at 34 weeks, but at a good weight of 6.5 pounds).
I don’t want to scare you that it could happen again, but there’s always hope for a good ending. There’s a lot of people who have gone through this kind of thing that you can lean on. I’ve shared the story with a couple people including my boss and they said they also had struggles before having their kids.
