Tonight made me sad...

in Infertility

I'm a labor and delivery nurse and I was coaching a patient pushing tonight.  Her DH was so supportive and I looked at them....and could totally picture my DH so helpful to me in labor. Ugh...I just wanted to jump in the bed and pretend I was having a baby.

This job is getting harder and harder....so for everyone who sees a pregnant lady at work...or babies....think of me.....I deal with pregnant mothers and newborns....and have been for 5 yrs.  It's yanking my heart out now.

    I do not know how you do it.  Is there any possible way for you to be a stay at home wife until you get your BFP?  The emotions must be excrutiating.

    Ive been able to always detach myself.  We have been TTC for 13 months now (almost 14) and for the first 3-4 months I was okay because I knew it would happen for us.  But, as the months roll on, I get less optimistic and being at work is slightly harder......especially with patients with unplanned pregnancies...which is alot.

    I might consider switching units if I am on this rollercoaster still at summertime.

    I give you a lot of credit--I could never do it! While it is yanking your heart... obviously that heart is huge!

    Wow, I don't know how you do it. I would try to switch if you could. I wouldn't be able to deal with babies everyday like that. I would be so sad.

    Hugs
