TTC After a Loss

comment from coworker

This one is actually really nice. 

Background: I only shared about my m/c's with a couple of people at work.  Then at the very end of the school year a teacher found out that her baby didn't have a hb at 12 weeks.  The one secretary who knew about what happened with me came and told me about her and asked if I would be willing to talk to her.  She was at school that day and had only found out the day before.  I was not close with her, but I went to her room during her planning period and shared my story with her.  She was so grateful to have someone to talk to.  I was able to answer some of her questions and I think (I hope) I was able to help her in some way. 

We haven't really had a chance to talk since school started again (and like I said we aren't really very close - except we have this bond now).  So today I saw her when we both had a minute and I asked how her summer was.  She knew what I was asking and she said they were still deciding whether to try for another baby again or not (they already have 2 school age children and she is 38 or 39).  They had to wait 2 cycles and so this was her first month to be able to try again.  She then asked about my summer and I said that we were still trying, but no luck yet

Then she said that she was really wishing that we would have come back to school and that I would have a little  baby bump.  She said that she hoped that I would get pregnant more than she hoped that she would get pregnant.  She said that I really deserved to get pregnant and that I had been so sweet to her.  Of course, I don't think I "deserve" it more than she does (and I said so), but it was really sweet that she felt that way and told me.  It made me want to cry - in a good way.

  • She sounds so sweet.  Your willingness to share your story with her must have meant so much to her.

  • That's really sweet. I love when my m/c helps me connect with people (especially you all) that I would probably not have connected with otherwise.

  • How sweet of you to reach out to her at her difficult time and how sweet of her to say those nice things to you!
  • It was so wonderful of you to share your story with her - it truly helps!

  • That's sweet. She was probably so appreciative of you reaching out to her.

  • That was so sweet! I understand what she means. When we were trying last year (with the we'll see what happens approach- before actively TTC) I had a friend that had been trying for a long time and I wanted her to be pregnant even more than I wanted it for myself. I knew how much they had been through and I knew she'd be a great mom. She is pregnant now with b/g twins and I am so happy for them. I just want to join her in the PG club!

    Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
