I'm DREADING My Sis's Text!! (Pg Ment)

LaTi07 · April 2011

My sister is having a sonogram today and if the baby is in the right position, will find out the gender. I am dreading her text about the gender because it's going to make her pregnancy more real. I know she's pregnant, but finding out the gender is such a huge milestone and it's going to really solidify that she is having a baby....and I'm not. I hate that I'm not as excited as I should be.

((HUGS)) I totally get it...wishing you lot's of stregnth today

that's normal and to be expected. I would be turning off my phone and heading into a dark movie theater!

You'll be excited later. i know you'll be a wonderful aunt. When you meet the baby you will love him or her so much.

It's such a conflicting feeling. You may feel excited/happy for your sister and the prospect of having a new niece or nephew...but the feelings of dread, sadness, and even anger are stronger. I feel the same way when I'm around my sister's newborn. I love, love, LOVE him, but I also feel so sad that my baby won't be in my arms in September.

I think you're being too hard on yourself. Your loss is so recent and your feelings are perfectly normal. Give yourself time to heal. Over time, it may still hurt a bit (until you are pregnant again). However, I think eventually you will become excited about being an aunt. Hang in there.

aw, that's a crappy situation to be in. (((HUGS!))) and extra strength!

((hugs)) thats so hard.. I was right where you are a few months ago with my StepMIL and my SILs pregnancies..

Tapatio · April 2011

I know exactly how you feel. I went through this just a few months ago with my sister. I was dreading the moment I would get that super excited text from her announcing what she was having knowing full well that all I had was an empty ute. Like pp said, your loss is so recent so give yourself time to heal and don't forget that what you feel is totally normal IMO ((big hugs)).

It's only natural to have those feelings, don't beat yourself up over it. I would feel the same way in your place. I feel that way about all of my close pg friends right now.

Big (((hugs))) to you!

I hate those feelings. But it happens and it's normal so don't beat yourself up too much. Atleast you are getting a text and can text back a congrats even if you're not feeling as excited as you think you should. It's totally ok to be upset - just come back and tell us and we'll support you thru it!

oh i'm sorry! that sucks. it always seems that things like this happen whenever we are feeling the worst.

my best friend is having a baby, and some days i'm ok with it, and some days i hate. i also hate that i'm not as happy for her as i should be. i honestly hate that she is pregnant and i am not. it's just a crappy situation, and i feel bad for feeling that way but i know i can't help the way i feel. it's like a rollercoaster of emotions, as if we aren't already on one without needing someone else sitting beside us.

hopefully when you hear the news, it isn't as bad as you think it will be. maybe this will be a good thing and it can help you be more excited, like you feel you should be.

don't beat yourself up over it though if not, just come here, vent to us, and we will try our bests to make you feel better!

hugs you way on this crappy day!

*EDIT: i forgot a word. woops!

Ugh, I'm so sorry. I would be dreading that text too. Like PP said, these feelings are normal and not something to feel guilty about. Big ((hugs)) to you!!

This! All of this!

((((hugs)))) Hang in there.

Its normal. I felt the same way about my SIL. ((hugs)) I know its hard.

**UPDATE**

Sorry for the delay, I couldn't bring myself to look at my sis's text until I left for lunch. That way if I was going to break down, at least it would be alone in my car not at my desk. She ended up not having the u/s because the technician called in so it's been postponed.
