why does everyone I know have to be pg? *(DS pic in siggy)*

engaged678

It's been over 2 months since our m/c and since then we've found out that close friends of ours are due 2 days after we were due, another friend nonchalantly announced on FB today that "I guess there's going to be 5 of us in June" and another friend just found out (at 14 weeks nonetheless) that they're expecting.

I try to be happy for everyone but it feels like a kick to the gut every time, one that will remind me as long as these wee little people are around that I lost mine. Some days it's hard to move on and be happy and make sense of it all.

You took the words right out of my mouth!!

Since I found out about my impending m/c (in mid-December), EVERYONE is coming out of the woodwork.  In one month, I have found out that 6 different friends and acquaintances are expecting healthy babies.  Before I was pregnant, I knew of one person who was pregnant and she was preggo before DH and I were even TTC, so that doesn't really count.

I think I'm just extra sensitive now.  I look away when I see pregnant strangers on the street, but I still look at babies (don't know why!).  Even hearing about celebrities and their pregnancies (Mariah Carey, Pink, Jewel,etc.) has gotten me down.

Fingers crossed that we will be envied one day soon!!

I feel the same way as you. Two of my good friends were due right before and right after my due date. Seeing them go through all of their pregnancy milestones just makes me even more sad thinking about what could have been. It just plain SUCKS

((hugs))

it DOES suck. I try to be happy for them but I find myself envious and jealous and bitter.

It does suck. Along with pregnant women, babies are everywhere too. DH and I just look at eachother and say "They're everywhere!" when we see babies. But I do think it's just that I'm more sensitive to it now but, regardless it hurts when you hear it and think "That should STILL be me".

I think its normal for us to feel jealous and bitter at this point. I am really so sorry for your loss. Also, your DS is precious and I love that quote in your siggy. I just added it to my quote book.

I have not been able to talk to the pregnant people in my life yet. I feel like a bitter *** but I just can't suck it up and call them. I don't know if I will be able to see BFF or SIL until I am pregnant again and even then I think it will be hard. I don't want to see their glowing faces or their round bellies. All we used to talk about was babies/pregnancy now I don't want to talk about mc with them. It is not them and I know that but it just seems so unfair that their babies are healthy and growing and mine is gone

I'm feeling the same.  I have a cousin who is due in May, one of my best friends is due in June and another friend has the same EDD as I had in August.  I am happy for all of them but, not ready to interact right now.  Only one of them knows about my loss (becasue of the monthly board here).

Yup. I kick to the gut with heels and then they twist and turn the heel. In my case it's my SIL. Every time I think about it, my stomach flips and my heart sinks but it's getting easier. Giving you a big virtual hug!
