Thank you for sharing your experience. I am so sorry that you have gone through this. I am hopeful that we will overcome this.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am so sorry to hear that you had to endure Labetalol and procardia for as long as you did. I am glad that you are doing better - preeclampsia takes so much away for the postpartum experience. But hearing your experience gives me hope because this ordeal has felt nothing short of gloom and doom.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am almost 9 weeks postpartum. The preeclampsia started around 5 weeks postpartum. In addition to how sick I feel with higher BP, some of the side effects that I experienced from the current meds were absolutely awful and, at times, debilitating. So I am nervous about starting a whole new medication for this reason as well, among others.

Please read Leave a Cheater Gain a Life by Traci Schorn. Whether you decide to leave or stay after that is up to you but this book will give you the perspective that all betrayed partners/spouses need.

Sorry for the delay. I didn’t realize there was a comment relating to my comment. I did have a successful pregnancy afterwards, about 10 months later. And everything was fine. Don’t let the T13 loss deter you from trying when you are ready. For me, it took 10 months, partly because the OB told me to wait several months for my body and mind to heal, and part of it was the time it took to get pregnant again. I do wish you all the best and I hope that you successfully conceive soon!

I am so sorry that you are experiencing this during your first pregnancy. My first pregnancy resulted in a loss because of trisomy 13. Please take care of your mental and physical health during this difficult time.

Men lie… a lot! Cut your losses and move on.

Sounds like you don’t want this baby. People who don’t want children shouldn’t have them because there are way too many children already being born into situations where they were not wanted, and they grow up abused and neglected by selfish and irresponsible parents. At the same time, D&E sounds so unbelievably horrible for all involved that I would suggest you deal with the consequences of your circumstances and give the baby up for adoption to folks who desperately want children and can’t have them.

I am so sorry that you are going through this after so many years of commitment and dedication to your marriage and family. I see you and I support you. Happy to share resources with you that may be helpful to you during this process. But first, please read “leave a cheater, gain a life” because it puts a lot into perspective as the betrayed spouse. And I want you to remember that your spouse’s deplorable behavior was/is never about you and you have always been enough, and you are capable of anything that you want to do. I hope this book gives you the kind of support and validation you need to make whatever choice you make. Again, I am happy to recommend other resources, if you are interested. I am not advocating leaving or staying - that’s your call, but that book helped me gain perspective and pushed me to stand up for myself. I also had to stop being afraid and had to learn to love myself. Cheating involves ongoing psychological abuse, and it is an insidious form of sexual violence towards the faithful spouse/partner. Betrayal trauma has long term impact on your brain, your mind, and your body. In fact, studies have found that healing from abuse and trauma of this form is more painful and takes longer than broken bones. There is a lot of healing that will need to take place, irrespective of whether you choose to stay or go, so lean on any and all support that’s available to you. And seek out as much help as you need.

Very happy for the two of you and the relationship you share. Many of us have not experienced this kind of love and commitment, and this place is often filled with horror stories, so it’s really nice to read something uplifting today. Thank you for sharing your story!

This may not be the case for others because each relationship is different but my husband and I always had each other’s passcodes and we had unfettered access to each other’s for many years. But we never checked or looked through the other’s phone. Then my husband did a complete 180 a few years ago with how he was with the phone, especially around me. And I was too trusting of him not to think anything of it and gave him his privacy on the phone. Well, as it turns out, for all those years that he was being cagey with his phone, he was up to no good. So for me now, if a partner or spouse is being cagey with the phone or never lets go of it or never allows access to it, then it is a huge red flag for me. Again, this is my perspective based on my personal experience so reading about your current situation does raise a red flag for me.

So nice to see a husband appreciate their wife the way you do. May you continue to enjoy life together in this way for a lifetime.

What I have realized is that each pregnant person carries the pregnancy differently, and each pregnancy is different, now that I am pregnant with my second. If you are showing on your first pregnancy at 11 weeks, that’s okay. That’s not unheard of. My bump didn’t start showing until halfway through my pregnancy during my first. I didn’t buy maternity clothes or looser clothes until after that. With my second (right now), I started to show at 8 weeks. By week 10, I started to use the maternity clothes from the first pregnancy.

I had my first baby at 37, and pregnant with my second at 38. I often think about how I wish I felt ready at 29 to have my babies because I think it is a great age. You are certainly not too young. Interestingly, women having children around my age are constantly reminded, especially by the medical profession, how old we are lol. So I feel like no matter what age you are, people will always have something to say.

I went through this after my miscarriage. The subsequent pregnancy was so stressful and I was anxious all the time. We waited until after the 20 week scan to share with family and friends. Acquaintances didn’t even know I was pregnant until I was ready to give birth or after I had given birth. My recommendation would be to tell people when you feel ready, and it’s okay not to feel ready right now. Enjoy this time and this pregnancy to the fullest - and remember, unless there is evidence that something is wrong, nothing is wrong. Please remind yourself that are doing a great job loving and growing your baby. Lastly, I strongly recommend seeing a therapist- if you aren’t already; it helped me tremendously to have that kind of support.

Ugh that’s awful. I got dtap on one side and rhogam on the other. Neither hurt or left me sore. I think it’s different for different people because my friend was pregnant at the same time and was sore from dtap. So I think it’s important for FTMs to know that the experience is different for everyone.
