DH just won't accept it

Feel like im going out of my mind.

Somehow knew all along this pg didnt feel right (already got a DS so knew what normal pg felt like).

*never really 'felt' pregnant or connected

  • only 2 symptoms ever = gas & sore boobs *had 1 instance of bleeding - went to A&E had scan which said sac & yolk only, measuring 5 weeks. I KNOW my dates are right & shouldve been almost 7 weeks.
  • now all symptoms disappeared - boobs deflated, no uterus growth at all
  • very bad cramps
  • icing on the cake - clear blue digital which said 5+ two weeks ago now says 3+

The writings on the wall. Hospital won't scan me again until next week (said had to wait 2 weeks inbetween 'in case dates were wrong'. Cracking up inbetween.

DH just keeps telling me over & over to be positive & it'll be fine, might just be too early, might be because I had an IUD etc etc. he simply won't accept I know my body & the overall combination of factors means there's virtually no hope for this pg. he won't have it & it's making things even harder.

I know he's hurting too & clinging to hope but I just want to scream. All I can do us wait & listen to him withering on about hope Confused

So sorry to hear you are both going through this. The waiting and being in limbo is horrendous. You know your body and are prepared for the worst. I think is harder for partners. My DH was optimistic and then hit him harder when I miscarried I think it is their way of coping. They think they are being strong for you. I think the fact that you will not know for sure until next week is the hardest to deal with. Once you know for sure you can both deal with it. I feel for both of you.

Take care xx

aww boymeetsworld, it's sooo hard, you know your own body, I know I was asked in A&E by a doctor "What did I think was happening?" I knew damned well I was miscarrying, and all along my dh was saying, well you never know etc etc, I think it's a way of coping, but I think it's also a mans way of trying to say anything that will reassure you - call it burying your head in the sand, but certainly my dh does do that!
I wish you all the best, xx
