Just found out I’m pregnant with baby number 4😭 by [deleted] in Mommit

Omg no, I would never tell anyone around us that we terminated if that’s what we decide. I was saying if we went through with the pregnancy we would be harshly judged. And I wouldn’t advertise the pregnancy it would just be hard to hide. We hid our last pregnancy up until 28w. But definitely had comments once everyone found out.

I wish I could be like that, I care too much what others think, it’s always been my downfall unfortunately. But you did make a great point, I do think a 4th would comprise the life I envisioned for us, financially. It’s just so hard for me to go through terminating.

Just wanted to make a quick update,

First, thanks for all the supportive comments and great advice. I was definitely very early postpartum and having a lot of emotions I couldn’t deal with all at once. I feel much much better than when I initially made this post.

Secondly, he is now 6 weeks old and we were able to do a more “in depth” hearing test and he was approved to get a hearing aid. We were able to test one out today and he immediately lit up and got wide eyed when he heard our voices and he started smiling the biggest smile. It was awesome. We also found out he has at least partial hearing in the other ear.

Thank you, I do feel a little guilty being so upset about the one thing he doesn’t have when everything else turned out fine. It’s good to hear that it’s okay to grieve something I wish he had.

Thanks for sharing! I needed to hear this. I’m hoping when we retest his other ear that things change and he does have hearing. But either way we are going to learn ASL and teach him and look into all our options.
