I am around 6 weeks pregnant with DC2. DH and I are v happy about it and it was planned. 6 months ago however, DH and I were going through a very rocky patch following the bereavement of a parent. We looked at separation and went to marriage counselling, which did not work for us. Things eventually clicked into place when we stopped trying so hard and relaxed a little with each other; also after I'd received individual bereavement counselling. We got through it ourselves and I never ever thought that we would. There are still small things to iron out, but I would say that 80% of the time we're a happy, well functioning couple.
However, at my lowest ebb, 6 months ago, I confided in family and friends that I was going to leave DH, things had been rough sInce the bereavement 3 months beforehand . They were supportive on the whole and on board with my reasons etc. I never expected that suddenly things may become harmonious again between us.
Anyway, we knew we would eventually want another DC and had planned to start trying next year when we'd had more time for each other. However, some unrelated tests revealed some endometrial tissue and fibroids in/around my womb. Doctors said this would impact on my fertility the longer we left things.
so here I am now, happily pregnant. But I am dreading telling friends and family who are bound to wonder what on earth I'm doing getting pregnant when 6 months ago, I was leaving DH! I'm wary that people may not be as happy for us as I'd like them to be. To add, DH is a good man, our rough times were literally the product of a lot of grief and upheaval at the time.
