“Emilie, my partner, had just had a miscarriage, and we were waiting for the return of diapers, the resumption of periods. And then the return of diapers not arriving, I wondered about a new pregnancy and I noticed her behavior a little more emotional than usual. Emilie behaved more aggressively at the wheel and cried for no reason. We had thought about the after-miscarriage and we said that she accused the blow. Yet she was already pregnant when we went on holiday to Brittany this summer camping. It was there that she started to cry in the car for no reason. I asked her what was wrong but she said she didn’t know. Then, when I got home and resumed work, I noticed a little more that his behavior had changed. I told her “are you sure you are not pregnant?” She replied again that she did not know. So, to be sure, one evening I came home from work with a pregnancy test. And the test turned out positive.
The first reaction was surprise, because Emilie was not expecting it. During the test for the first pregnancy before the miscarriage, we hugged each other because we had been trying to have a child for 8 years. Before becoming pregnant, Emilie was obese in addition to having polycystic ovary syndrome. And it was at the cost of a surgical operation (by-pass) for Emilie that the machine started up again, after she had lost 46 kg. So this time, since there had been a miscarriage before, we were less happy, knowing that a second miscarriage could happen. We were both happy and careful to come out of this ordeal. Moreover, as long as the pregnancy was not advanced at a stage of 6 months, Emilie had difficulty in investing, for fear of losing the baby. Afterward, she relaxed and was able to enjoy her pregnancy to the fullest, showing it and announcing it to everyone. It was rather a relief. I told myself that the miscarriage was a step in welcoming a new viable embryo. And it turned out to be correct. I told myself that this is it, this time it was off to a good start, and that we would soon be parents. It was a source of pride to announce it to relatives and colleagues, who also tell you about their upcoming child. And when you finally can share this pregnancy, it’s a dream come true. We are like on a cloud. Besides, I am always on a cloud since the birth of Soann. The pregnancy went well. When the ultrasound was done to determine the age of the fetus, it was already eleven weeks old. It was necessary to make quickly in August the first echo of the first trimester in order to be able to make the declaration of pregnancy to the Social Security. Then everything went well. We now have a beautiful 1 month old baby named Soann. We love him with all our hearts. “
