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.

hi lisa I too went through that in april. I would be due in dec. My hubby vas. was 11 yrs ago. I too don't understand how can god give us a precious gift like that and then take it away. my husband was at first wanting to go in and have it redone. now he wants to try for another baby. The doctors treated me as if I had cheated, because there is no way after a vas. to concieve. well the tests proved them wrong and I got no apologies from any of them! This has been one of the hardest things I have ever been through. Lisa b.

Oh that makes me feel better.  I'm back to bawling my eyes out this morning.  I am afraid of being treated like that next Wed. when he has an appt.  No one had better even imply that I cheated.  We are Christian and takes our mariage vows seriously.  If anyone knew us they know that would be the most ridiculous thing to even suggest.
