I found out I was pregnant 3 weeks ago (first pregnancy for both of us) and while it was a surprise, my partner and I were extremely delighted. We are living in rented accommodation, but were house hunting a while ago before deciding to have a break from it and focus on getting our credit cards paid off. After finding out we were expecting, we decided to start the search again. Perfect house was found, offer was made and accepted. We’re both first time buyers, so quickly discovered how overwhelming the whole process is.
Unfortunately on Wednesday I miscarried, which has been extremely upsetting for both of us. We decided that we would just focus on the house and getting it ready for when we do welcome a baby. Today (Thursday), I received an email from the estate agents to inform us that the vendor is withdrawing the house from sale as her lender for the onward purchase has withdrawn the deal and the interest rates now offered are too much.
So in the space of 2 days, I’ve miscarried and the house we are buying has fallen through. My partner is being incredibly supportive and has made me realise just how lucky I am to have him.
This isn’t really an AIBU post, I just felt the need to vent to a group of complete strangers. AIBU to feel sorry for myself and my partner at the moment?
