This is our first conception after being together for 8 years... we couldn’t have been any happier and for Christmas we surprised everyone and all.

Now i feel so empty and helpless. My husband deploys in October to Afganistan so with the baby coming at the end of August he would have been here for the birth. I want him to be there for the birth but we want to try again asap. How common are these ?!? I know sometimes there is now rhyme or reason but i want to know if i did anything wrong.

I had to have a D&C; because my cervix wouldn’t open and i am just laying here in pain. My heart breaks for my husband who literally cried when he found out we were pregnant. I just don’t know what to feel.
