II just heard the news that someone I know, who was due two weeks after me that was on her way to the hospital to possibly have her baby. It ripped my heart out and I almost started crying right then and there. I was heartbroken.. I wanted to yell "It should be ME. I should be ready to deliver, not stuck trying again. I should be on my way to the hospital."
Alright now I am in tears. I dont think it would be so hard to deal with if it wasnt so close to Grace's due date. I am so down today.. I didnt know it would be this hard. I just dont know how to handle it. I dont want to be a jealous person. I dont want to feel this way.
I have been so strong but today I am just broken. I couldnt be strong tonight. I am sitting here in tears. I am trying to remember to be thankful for what I do have, but it doesnt take away the pain of what I should have.
Im sorry Im such a downer tonight, Im normally so positive, but I am just so upset tonight. I want to go back to being the person who is happy for others who have babies, not someone who bawls at the thought... I just needed to share this with people who understand...
Re: I am sad and angry.... :(
Aww you made me cry. Thank you so much for your kind words.. You were definitely a comfort to me tonight. God Bless you!
First of all, don't feel bad that you're down - you have every right to be! It's hard to not be hard on ourselves for having these feelings. Our society is such a move on and up one that dealing with grief is hardly acceptable for a short amount of time after a loss, let alone as long as someone in our situations need. It takes a long time to not be bothered by little things and even then something as huge as somebody you know having a baby can and does trigger immense emotions. You're sweet, little Grace is not with you and should be! You have every right to feel bad about that. You also have every right to be jealous of this other person...and everyone who is able to have healthy babies. I'm so sorry you're having a rough night. I really hope you feel a little better tomorrow at least. It's just so hard...
((((((((big hug))))))))))
I am so sorry that you are having a sad night.
My friend is due any day now and I know that I am not going to be able to go see her and her baby for a while. I feel so bad, but I know she understands. I also know that what happened to me has made her even more thankful that she and her baby are still ok and will love her baby even more.
I know. My c-section was supposed to be next Thursday. I had a girlfriend give birth last Friday, and one today.
Sigh.

don't worry. we don't have to be strong and positive everyday. let's face it....we have some really sucky days.
a good friend had her baby Monday. We were excited to only be due a month apart. Yesterday I got to look at all her pictures of her and her little girl from the hospital on facebook. It's not fair and I'm not even going to pretend that it is. This is her 3rd. Another friend told me today that she is having her second. It just flat out sucks that all of my friends are having their 2nd and 3rd children and I haven't been able to have one.
