Late Term and Child Loss

Why do I do this to myself?

Every once in a while over the past couple of weeks I've spent a few minutes lurking on the May 2012 board. It's so painful, I don't know why I do it. I just can't believe I don't have my baby girl with me. Is it just me? Does anyone else torture themselves like this?

Re: Why do I do this to myself?

  • I did it a few times because I was friendly with a lot of the mommies on there so I wanted to see how they were progressing with their pregnancies and newborns.  I think I visited twice this month at the very beginning but stopped because it was too painful.

  • ((hugs)) I do it too. I was part of the June facebook group and about once each week or two I would click on it to go see how everyone was doing. I went to go click on it the other day and it was gone- they kicked me out.

  • I used to.  I finally decided one day to put an end to it.  I posted on my Feb 2012 board explaining what had happened with my pregnancy and our baby and wished them all the best with their little ones.  It gave me enough closure to not feel the need to lurk any more.  Big hugs to you!

  • I am actually still quite active on my BMB - I post daily on our FB spin-off group.  I just can't stay away, and the girls are amazingly supportive of me.

  • I torture myself by reading parenting magazine and healthy pregnancy and stuff like that. I wish I could stop too.

  • My torture was fb. I would go and look on all my pregnant friends' profiles. I finally put a stop to it this month. I spent 2 weeks off fb completely and now am able to go on w/o lurking on their pages. It really helped me a lot.

  • Thanks, ladies. I knew you'd understand. Barbie, I can't believe they kicked you out! The weirdest part is that I never once posted on there. It's just me wishing everything is as it should have been.

  • They probably just did it because I'm not active and not a June mommy, so I know it wasn't to be mean, but it still hurt. I wasn't ready to be done with the group. I liked being  able to know that everyone was doing okay.
