"Are you pregnant yet?"
Those were DH's exact words to me last night. Thanks hunny. Like I just wave a magic wand and put a baby in there. Sometimes I think he still doesn't get it. I do however, think it stemmed from watching a baseball game, since this was his fb post last night:
About to somehow lower my blood pressure and go to sleep while watching MLB network. They were showing the Tampa Bay homerun that Dan Johnson hit that tied the game. Right after that homer I saw a dad in the stands kiss his infant child. Hope I get that moment one time in my life. What a night!
P.S. Sorry for being a PW, I have off today, woo hoo!

Re: "Are you pregnant yet?"
No. No matter how I've tried to tell him, he doesn't. I put up a tough face most of the time, but from the times where I've broken down I feel like he should understand.
Me too
I'm sorry! I know it can feel like our Hs are insensitive, but I don' think that is actually the case. I think that they get so excited and want the pregnancy so badly, that they don't realize that their words can hurt.
Mine said to me a few months back, "why aren't you pregnant yet?" He likes to mention that it is taking way too long and way longer than he expected. I know that he is just excited. Once he sets his mind to something, he's just ready for it to happen. This is one of those cases.

I pretty much agree with all of this.
While his delivery could definately use some work, it does sound like it came from a good place and that he's just anxious and excited to be a dad!
I agree with Jo! Big hugs to you though, Amanda.
I agree too! *hugs*
I'm sorry. I think it's probably hard for him to really understand how hard it is. Also, I think guys tend to think that as soon as you get pregnant again, the pain from the m/c will go away. I'm sorry you are going through this.
I'm a smart a$$ so I probably would have said something like "why yes, I am, did I not tell you". Because, honestly, does he think you wouldn't say anything? And if he got all bummed out and depressed that you joked you were and aren't....well then you can use it to explain to him how bummed out and depressed you are about miscarrying and that you want to be pregnant again too.
I did respond slightly smart a$$ back, and asked, "like I wouldn't tell you?" He truly doesn't get it sometimes. He uses the F word way more than I like. About a month after the miscarriage he pointed to the nursery and said, "it's not like there's a kid in there who can hear me." At that point I told him to get the hell out of my sight and I didn't want to see him. He later apologized and honestly said how he thought about his words more and didn't realize how hurtful they would be.
Having had a miscarriage is tough. I went off birth control with the attitude, it will happen when it happens. Neither of us thought it would happen so fast, but now that I experienced the excitement of thinking we were going to have a child, I think we're more impatient than we were before. Like Brook said earlier, having a miscarriage changes the excitement of pregnancy. Glad you girls are hear for me!
