Have your plans changed because of your losses?
Mine sure have! When I first started nursing school I wanted to work in Labor and Delivery and eventually become a midwife... But because of my losses I switched and now going to be a nurse in the emergency department. Why? Because WHAT IF I never have kids? I couldn't stand delivering babies my whole life and I personally can't even have one.
I also wanted 4-6 kids. Now I'm hoping that I'll just get 1.
Anyone have their life change because of this?

Not really for me other than I just want to have a baby. DH and I had talked about having 2 children but we have to start with one.

Yes.
Pretty much ALL of my and DH's plans have changed because of secondary infertility and my loss. We basically don't have any plans anymore, our lives are completely on hold. If we can't conceive again, we are going to adopt which is very expensive and will change alot of things financially for us.

Not really. We always wanted to have 2. If it doesn't work out and we have a third loss, we'll just do some tests and see from there. We might have to give up that dream but we do have our little boy and we'll both be happy if that's all we have.
Hubby doesn't seem to be interested in adoption but I guess it is always an option.

it has.. We were happy with just DD and were okay with the thought of possibly not having another one, but after loosing our baby DH realized that he definitely wants another child, so we'll be trying for a good bit before thinking of other options like adoption.

I wanted to go back to work but my hubby won't let me. He is afraid that once I start working, I'll end up pregnant. He wants me to stay at home with the kids. An extra income would be nice though! I was teasing him the other day and said I would love a sister wife like the ones on TLC, just to pay the bills though and help with the kids. Not to have him. 
(with that being said, please know that I am joking, lol)

Losing Drew is what led me to nursing. And I want to be a NICU nurse, but every time I'm around a mom and her newborn I get SO angry. I'm hoping that goes away soon, or maybe when I'm pregnant, or maybe when I have my own baby in my arms...
