Struggling already and its only 7 am

whoberry

A friend is being induced today.  I am excited for them but I am also a little worried that I'm not going to have it in me to go over and see the baby once it's born.  It's hard not to get upset since I would have been about 36 weeks today. I was so excited that we were going to be on maternity leave together and our kids would be similar ages. 

I also had my hopes up way too high for this first IUI working.  I have been exhausted for the last 3 days and have been having weird dreams. I was hoping those were good signs.  But I've had some serious moods swings since yesterday and that has been a major sign of AF arriving since I started medicated cycles.  I just want to eat junk food and sulk.  It doesn't help that I couldn't get my butt out of bed this morning, skipped my morning workout and didn't walk the dogs.  I feel like today is going to be a serious diet cheat day.

Ok, just had to ramble and get that off my chest! Thanks for listening.

i had a friend who just had a baby also - and we started trying around the same time. of course she got pregnant the first month, and here we are....

something my therapist told me this week is not to apologize for how i feel. and if i don't feel strong enough to go to an event where there is going to be a newborn baby, or family member who is pregnant, then i should be able to make that gametime decision without feeling guilty. i guarantee you this: your friend is going to be very busy with the baby, tired from breastfeeding, getting adjusted to bringing baby home, etc. so she might not be up for visitors for a while. and when she is, you make that decision based on how you're feeling. if you want to go, go. if you don't, just kindly explain to her that you're having a rough time and it's just not good timing but you are looking foward to seeing her and the baby when you're feeling like you're in a better place. i'm sorry you're going through this - it's really tough, and i hope you feel better....

I understand.  This saturday would have been my due date.  Yesterday I ate enough for four people!

I am sorry for your struggles today, sweetie!  It must be really tough going through m/c and having a friend with her baby...

Weird dreams, mood swings, etc...I went through that so I understand how you are feeling!   It sucks and there isn't much to control it.  It's ok to be vunerable for a little bit (Indulge yourself!), but we all come back strong after the strom passes.  Hang in tight

I'm sorry that you have to go through this.  I recently had a friend that delivered her baby during the time that I would have been delivering too, so I know exactly what you're going through.  IF sucks!!
