in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Just opened my inbox this morning to find an email from our FRG leader. If you don't know what that is, it's Army for the person who leads the "support" group for all of the battery soldiers and their families.

Anyway, the headline was "Pregnancy Tracker." Yippie. I open it up and she was asking for anyone who was pregnant to let her know due dates and what sex, etc. Thanks. Thanks a lot. I should be approaching month 5 right now and finding out what we're having. Thanks for the awesome reminder I no longer have mine and yet another reminder of why I feel I don't fit into this community. Not pregnant? Shame on you. No kids? You're an outcast. Etc.

I know she meant nothing but good and it was a mass e-mail. I'm sure they're collecting that info to offer those families assistance, but we were supposed to be one of those families.

I feel like nothing is helping. The counseling was just blah for me. The support group I found here only meets once a month and I couldn't make last months bc we were out of town and this month we'll be in Vegas. I honestly can say I wish this never happened.

    I'm so sorry!  I know how frustrating it is when people are completely and unintentionally hurtful.

    ....and I really REALLY understand what you mean about not being pregnant nor having children and how that can make you feel like you don't really belong!  I have felt like that for the past 2 years, as I was surrounded by SAHM who already had 2 or 3 kids at my age (I'm only 26!), so I never really felt like I was "one of the girls," as nice as they all were.  Of course, now that my closest friends are now pregnant, that feeling has followed me across the country... **SIGH**
