TTC After a Loss

I need a hug...or a shot of tequila

Maybe both...

I just got an email from one of my very best friends that started of, "OMG, I'm pregnant!" It was like a dagger to my heart. I've been struggling this week - I realized a couple of days ago that I should have been starting 2nd tri this weekend. She went on to say she had gone to the doctor because they had been trying for 4 months and nothing had happened. WTF, really?? Four months?? It took us 2 years to get pregnant with the one we lost. She was the only person, besides DH who knew I was pg; she had an ectopic at 12 weeks a couple of years ago, so you would think there might have been a little sensitivity in telling me. I know she's excited - I get it, I really do. And I'm really happy for her...and I'm really sad for me.

    Ugh.  I am so sorry and can totally empathize.   I probably would have cried.

    You deserve both the hug and the tequila.

    ((HUGS)) My cousin told me this week she's KU. She couldn't have been more sensitive or caring, and it still sucked. I know how you feel. Drink up!

    We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.

  • Hugs, sweetie!  Maybe she thought you wouldn't feel so bad b/c she had had a loss too- but some people will never be sensitive enough to understand that.

    Much love and more hugs.

  • Kiki, I am so sorry.  That was really insensitive of her.  If I were you, I would talk to her about your needs in this situation.  It sounds like you are really close, and she will be pregnant for 9 months, so you can't let her keep hurting you.  She should have thought about how you would feel, but she didn't, and she should in the future--for everyone's benefit.  ((hugs))

  • Blah!  That probably felt like a sucker punch.  After the crazy day I had at work today, I'll join you and the others on that tequila!

    I finally had to say something to a friend who has been blowing up Facebook with posts about how sad she is about her maternity leave ending, how cute her kid is, how she can't believe it's wednesday (--almost the weekend to snuggle with my baby!!). I wasn't very nice, and apologized after the fact, but it went something like this,"At least you have a baby and a maternity leave." She got the point.
