Struggling with jealousy

roseandthebump

Good evening all,
I unfortunately experienced a loss in January and although I was only 9 weeks along, I have been struggling with grief ever since.
It was my first pregnancy and although unexpected, my partner and I were overjoyed.

However, a lot of friends and family members who announced their pregnancy around the same time as me are starting to have their little ones and I am struggling to feel anything other than jealousy for their news.

I don’t really expect any feedback as I dont think there is much of a solution to this other than to bottle it up until it gets easy to cope with. I think I just wanted to share my feelings with others that may feel the same, I am extremely lucky as my partner is very supportive and sympathetic but I don’t want to keep bringing him down.

Thankyou and please feel free to share your stories or thoughts! 

Much love ❤️

It’s such a lonely kind of grief. Just know that what you’re feeling is so normal and valid. Your baby mattered, and it’s okay to still be hurting. Sending love your way. ❤️

I’m glad you have a supportive partner, but also know you don’t have to carry this all by yourself. Talking about it helps, even if just in spaces like this.

I’m out of girl embryos and all I see are baby girl gender reveals and I want to scream. I’m g going to adopt a baby girl but it hurts knowing I won’t have a bio girl
