Everyone I know has now lapped me

I found out about 2 new pregnancies in people I know today, including one whose first child is around 15 months younger than DS.  I now can't think of a single person I know who was going to have more kids that doesn't already have a new baby or is pregnant.   I have been left in the dust as everyone completes another lap around the baby track.

Yesterday I was having a great day, feeling super-positive, and now today I'm back in the dumps.  Sorry for the vent and thanks for listening.

  • I understand -  I really do.  It's heart-wrenching.  Back when I started all my friends had 1 child each, all but 1 were younger than my DD.  Now they've all had a second and two have had a 3rd, all in the time I've been trying.  Sucks big time.  The only thing that gets me through that is remembering that if I compared other things about their lives they way I compare their # of children to mine, I'd be a VERY unhappy person.  When I have another, it will be right for my family.  When you have another, it will be right for yours.  That's all that matters.  (HUGS)

  • I am right there with you. I walked by a guy from high school in the mall on the weekend, and his pregnant g/f. I logged onto my facebook with my high school peers on it for the first time in months and people I didn't even know were pregnant had baby photos (of their kids) up. 

    Sometimes I am even bummed on here when people that were trying for #2 at the same time as me are now back trying for #3 (or expecting #3 already). I am thrilled they got their baby #2 and excited for them to get #3, just feel like I should have had my turn by now. 

    I found out yesterday a friend at our playgroup is unexpectedly expecting. I told her if she considers adoption to consider us. It made me sad (again) that some people can do it without even trying. All I can try to do is have faith about my upcoming cycle.

  • ((Hugs)) I totally feel your pain. I've been lapped twice in many cases. Have faith!!! It's going to happen for us too!!

  • We are to the point that alot of people have lapped us twice. I have ONE facebook friend, an old friend from years ago, who had her first child the same month we had our son. She has yet to have another baby, and I have a feeling she would like one, too. If she ever announces that she's pregnant, we will be lapped by every single couple we know.

  • My BFF and I were pregnant with our daughters at the same time, but it was already #2 for her. Her #3 is now 7 mo old and now she is talking about #4. I'm sick to my stomach thinking about that. I don't even have my 2nd yet Sad

  • We've been lapped by everyone too. There are some couples we know that started ttc long after we did, and they've already brought their babies home. I'm happy for them, but it just makes me so sad for me. Is it supposed to be this hard?

  • I'm lapped by everyone, too. 

    Even people on this board who I was at one point cycle buddies with are in their 3rd tri.  I am so happy for them, but I do remember being their cycle buddy.

    On my home/local board, since TTC#2, one particular woman has gone from wondering if she should TTC#3 to conceiving, having a m/c, getting pregnant again, and being due in 2 weeks.  That one hurts.  Not for her, I'm thrilled for her, she's a great mom.  But for me.  It sucks.for.me.

    I hear you Twizzle, and I'm so sorry.
