I get very sad & depressed when I think about all that I have to now go through to have a baby. I have all these crazy thoughts & I wish it didn't have to be like this.
I only recently found out that it took my mom 4 years to get pregnant with me. I started thinking about that today...if she had done anything differently or if nature had taken her on a different course, I wouldn't be here today. That gave me hope that my hubby & I will have a baby, and he/she will be the one meant for us at the right time.
I believe that is true for all of you out there, too. God has a plan.
PS...I may be feeling ultra positive today, but this journey sure is tough!
Re: Just a little positivity vibe for everyone :)
Thanks..I needed a little positive vibe today :-)
My MIL told me a few months ago it took her 5 years to get pregnant with MH. He was her 3 child. Her older two were born 18 months apart. Then 10 years later along came MH (she waited 5 years to TTC then TTC for 5 years)...and 16 months after MH came my last SIL.
It does make you think...
My MIL waited 10 years for DH! She expected to be childless until she found out at a routine Dr. visit that she was pregnant. She signed me up for a children's clothing email list and I was upset because it was a constant reminder that I don't have anyone to buy stuff for (except for our niece). When I questioned her about it she replied by saying "I know the feeling to see all your friends with babies and your arms are empty. " I guess I never really saw it that way. Nice jolt to reality.
We expected it would take us a while to get pregnant but I don't think I could do this for 10 years.
TTC since September 2009.
IVF #2: +HPT 2/6/12! ~ Boy/Girl Twins!!
My mom got pregnant with me without ever actually having intercourse (a true to life bedsheet baby right here in your midst!)... my sisters have so much trouble NOT getting pregnant that one even got pregnant while taking and using bc correctly (there are four sisters btw- all with a freaking TON of kids), I have two brothers- one is still a virgin and the other has already knocked up a girl (or two)- though those pregnancies did not produce a live birth... I struggle often with the idea of why they (none of whom have any college education/cars of their own/ or jobs for that matter) can have children so easily and I have been worried my entire life that I would "accidently" end up pregnant only to find myself in this position...
This post reminded me that my baby will be here when it is supposed to be, and be just the little bundle of joy that I imagine it will be... I just have to keep moving forward and find out when that time will come. I have been on this board long enough to say with definity that miracles do happen and I pray every night that they happen for us. No babies could ever be more loved than the ones we are waiting for... Happy new year!
