I feel like a freakish emotional wreck!
My husband and I have been married for 9 years. We have two girls, ages 8 and 5. Four years ago, my husband had a vasectomy at my insistence. I really did not want more children. So about the middle of July this year I start having symptoms of pregnancy. Nausea, vomiting, the whole works. It just can't be. 4 years after a vasectomy? But it was. I got a positive on 8/7. I was actually very excited and profoundly moved spiritually, thinking this baby was just meant to be. Two days later I started miscarrying and I have been an emotional wreck since then. I was only 4 weeks pregnant with a baby I didn't even want, yet I am depressed and can hardly stop crying. I don't know why I got pg at 36 against such enormous odds only to miscarry. I am trying to find the meaning in all of it. I was devastated when my dh said he wants to have his vasectomy re-done. I just felt it was an opportunity to step back and pray about whether we made the right decision 4 years ago, and for him to say that just makes it all feel like a mistake. I have never miscarried before and it is so weird to feel so many pg symptoms and have them be gone overnight. I feel such loss, and foolish for feeling loss because it was unplanned and very unexpected. But I saw it as a gift nonetheless and wish I could have my baby back. I am just so confused. The baby was due 4/16/05.
