Another young couple on our block lives about 3 doors up the street from us. We are not close, but would always be friendly, and stop for conversation when we would see them out or around. Well, the obviously they knew I was pregnant. Back in March they sent an e-mail around to everyone on the block regarding a neighborhood issue, and mentioned that they were expecting their first child the end of summer. We were both excited to have more babies on the block, and future play dates. I haven't seen them since my loss, and don't know if they are aware.
Well, yesterday I was leaving for a Dr. appt and the pregnant neighbor was coming out of her house at the same time with her dog. her back was towards me and my eyes were fixated on her. I didn't see her carrying a baby, so I felt safe. Then, she turned around, and BAM! Her gigantic belly was right there! I felt a huge wave of anxiety/sadness/fear...I don't even know what I was feeling. I quickly turned around headed in the other direction without even waving. She looked miserable, like she must be due any day, and couldn't wait for it to be over...I remember that feeling.
Pregnant women don't usually bother me THAT much, but we were pregnant at the same time. I think thats what bothers me the most, people who were pregnant when I was pregnant, and they get to keep their baby. It's weird, and I can't even really explain it.
I just needed to tell someone about the siting, to kind of getting it off my chest.

I am sorry! I had a similar situation last night at my son's taekwondo practice, so I get it. Like pp said I think it is easier to see random people out and about than people with who we shared such a special commonality. (((HUGS)))
