Am I a Horrible Person?

Nikibug

For not being able to possibly concieve of how i am going to love my neices once tehy are born....I had a miscarriage a month ago and in that month both my sister and sister in law have announced they are preganant. I am devistated and want to just curl up and die. To top it all off DH is deployed and now doesnt know if or when he wants to try again and getting pregnant is the only thing that i feel is going to make this depression go away. I cant stand seeing pregnant lady;s baby;s or anything. It took 3 years for this little "accident" to happen and I am devistated:(

I really don't think that you are a horrible person.  My SIL announced she was pregnant and is due about a month after my original EDD.  I don't think that I can see her, she already has a two year old and I had to go visit about a week after my first m/c and it was really hard.  I am so sorry for your loss (((hugs))).  Did your sister and SIL know about your situation?

Nikibug

They Both knew...and the kicker is that SIL is only 20 years old! She isnt' even married yet either...next month is her wedding. i dont know how i will ever cope with 2 baby showers, two growing bellies and on both sides of the family. I feel i cant even be around any family during the holidays cause it is coming at me from both sides...AND hubby is deployed which makes it even worse:(

I wish I could tell you something to make you feel better.  Can you just not go?  I know how you feel and you aren't being a horrible person.  I feel like I may ignore my SIL at Thanksgiving, she is a b@%ch anyway.  I am sorry about your DH being gone too, you shouldn't have to deal with this alone.   (((hugs)))

Thanks. Just knowing there are others who are going through it too helps! I am sorry she is such a B! Hopefully we can all get through this holiday season in one piece!

I don't think you're a horrible person.  For me, it's not seeing babies that upsets me, but seeing pregnant women.  All I think of is that should be me, I would look about that size, things like that.  So you need to take the time that YOU need to heal, w/o worrying about what others may think.  I know it's hard, I'm dealing with it too.  But you're definitely not a horrible person!

Thank you so all so much. It helps to hear i am not crazy...and yes, both my SIL and Sister are pregnant now, so seeing both of them the whole 9 months i will be thinking...that should be me since they both got preg within one month of my m/c

I do not think that you are a horrible person.  It is understandable that you are upset about your miscarriage. 

Your nieces have not done anything to not be loved though.  In fact, they are a miracle of being a successful pregnancy, and you may find comfort and practice just loving them and being happy that they are healthy.  I believe that it is a family and relatives that help to raise and guide that child.

:::HUGS::: I'm so sorry that you are struggling with this. It doesn't mean you are a horrible person. Have you considered talking to a therapist?

You are not horrible.  My SIL found out she was pregnant again right before my first miscarriage.  They told everyone, but me, right away.  They already have a one year old and now they have another healthy baby, born a few weeks after my first EDD and the week of my 3rd loss.  They got pregnant right away all three times and I have a VERY hard to going to see them.  I pretty much avoid them all the time.  I just can't deal with it right now and I think a lot of us feel the same way.

You are not a horrible person. Your feelings are natural. You deal with it how you need to deal with it.

Not a horrible person at all. My nephew was born while we were dealing with our mcs and when I went to see him, I literally almost broke down and cried.

Luckily, if you aren't ready to be a hands on aunt yet, they will never remember that early time. And your sister and SIL should understand....

Hugs!
