How do you handle the “when are you having another baby?” Question after a miscarriage?
My husband, 3yo and I are traveling across the country to visit my family after Christmas next week. I’m pretty close with my extended family who all live back at home. On Thanksgiving i had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. We told our parents and siblings that we were pregnant and we’re gonna do a surprise to my extended family at Christmas bc they’ve all been asking all year when we’re going to have another baby. We had been trying since May and i was and still am devastated over the loss and do not want to answer the when are you gonna have another baby question. How would you or did you handle this if you’ve been in my shoes? Thank you!!
So after my first son was born in 2021 I've had two losses in 2023. I'm currently pregnant with my second boy and due in March but I've never gotten asked that question because I guess financially no one thinks it's best to have a baby right now but since he will be born soon it is what it is I guess. But the question I have gotten from my grandma was "Why didn't you tell me sooner about the pregnancy?" Nobody besides myself and partner knew about my previous losses. I decided to keep that private.
