TTC After a Loss

horrible feelings....is it just me?

I find pg women obnoxious and smug. Especially when all they do is complain about symptoms. My BF is pg and I LOVE talking to her about her pg (she is 3 weeks behind what I would be) and it's weird that it doesn't bother me and I'm so genuinely happy for her. I'm even a little obsessed with her tiny bump. Other pople...not so much. I went and checked out the DD on the Dec 2012 board (which made me love you guys so much more for calling her out!!) and I couldn't even bring myself to lurk on any of the posts because all of the title just annoyed me. It left me with a bad taste. I think I'm a bit bitter today!! I would never admit these feelings to anyone, but I'm hoping you all understand!

  • I am the same way,  I would gladly throw up for 12 weeks since that usually means that baby is growing well. I am glad you are ok with the BF and her pregnancy. My Cousin and I were 2 days apart with our first Pregnancy and I mc and I hated to be that person but I couldn't be around her through out her pregnancy. It was so hard on me and still when I see her DD I think I should have one at the same age doing the same things. : (

  • Totally normal. I go through phases where I am repulsed by all things pregnancy (out of sheer jealousy and bitterness), and phases where I am obsessed with all things pregnancy and baby (since, after all, I *am* trying to have a baby, and I am a huge planner by nature). I am also fine with some people's pregnancy and not with others - and it seems to have no rhyme or reason. TTCAL sure comes with a complex mix of emotions!

    Just keep swimming.
  • I totally go through the same feelings.  I have ZERO tolerance for PG women who complain about their symptoms.  I have negative zero tolerance for those who know about my loss and still complain to me.  (That HAS happened)  Vent away -- we know your frustrations!

  • Not just you.  I will forever mentally throat punch pregnant women who complain about their pregnancies (unless it's unusually bad).  People need to learn to be thankful for what they have!

    I can totally relate.  I even hate the little "Hot Topic" links below from the other boards.  While other women are complaining about the downsides of pregnancy, we're here banging our heads against a wall trying to get pregnant.  They just seem so ungrateful.

  • I know exactly how you feel!...I get soo irritated when my US weekly magazine comes in the mail and someone else is pregnant on the cover or I see FB posts about pregnancies...its come to the point where I am like "yea what else is new, FML"....I've almost become numb to it....I am SOO glad that you can be around your BF...my BF was also 3 weeks behind me and she is showing, for me though its heartbreaking...I am happy for her but it is still hard talking about babies let alone go shopping with her for one....I noticed that you and I have similar stories with our friends and BFP's and d&c's...in this big world sometimes I forget how small it can be!...;)

  • Totally normal feelings. I'm very bitter and angry and basically hate all pg women. Some are worse than others though, my SIL for example. Just thinking about her and her being pg makes my blood boil.

    I'm really glad that you are still close with your BFF and can be happy for her. I had a friend who was two weeks behind me and it hurt so much every time I saw her, it was just a constant reminder. Now that they have a 6 month old, it reminds me that I should too.

  • You are definitely not alone with this one! When I meet a pg woman now I can almost immedietly tell if she has suffered a loss before. The ones who have not complain about every little thing and the ones who have are overwhelmed with joy--even as they are hugging the porcelain god.

  • Yes, pregnant women are smug....

    In fact, if you haven't already heard this song by Garfunkle and Oats. I laughed so hard the first time I saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJRzBpFjJS8

    But seriously, when I lurk on 1st tri, my stomach starts to turn at all of the posts about registries and strollers etc.

    When I was on 1st tri back in November prior to my 1st m/c in December, everyone was talking about wanting to do a big "reveal" during the holidays with their families. And there were a bunch of people all disappointed because they were afraid other family members would steal their thunder, or they were bummed when their family's world didn't screech to a halt the moment they announced their 4-week long pregnancy at the Thanksgiving table. Even before my loss, I was shaking my head and just thinking "what? are these women 12 years old?"

    There is no good thing about my losses. But I believe that I have grown as a result of them. They have helped me remember what is important and what is just petty stupid nonsense.  

    Married 4/12/08 DS born 11/17/2009 via c-section at 39 weeks. 11/12/2011 BFP #2!! m/c 7w5d. 2/28/2012 BFP #3 Beta #1-12dpo = 18; Beta #2-16dpo = 185; Beta #3-18dpo = 505. EDD 11/10/2012. Ectopic discovered at 5w4d. D&C followed by methotrexate.
  • I absolutely understand those feelings! It's been almost 5 months and I still have an extremely hard time seeing pregnant women. I know it's just jealously (for me at least) but I can't help it.

    **HUGS** I hope that you are able to have a take home baby of your own soon!!

    First of all.OMFG I peed my pants at that video! Love it, Thanks for sharing! Secondly, most of the time I also feel as though I have grown and it has made me feel so much more greatful for all of the good things in my life and I know I am lucky in other ways.

    Reading everyone's responses made me smile today - thanks ladies!! I hate that I feel this way sometimes, but it's good to know it's "normal".

  • I know what you mean.  I get so upset when pg women complain about symptoms.  Do they realize that some women would kill to have those symptoms!!!  I guess I am bitter today too!

  • I've had to hide some people on FB because of their complaining. One girl has even had some losses and a very hard time getting pregnant, but she won't stop whining about how she feels. I understand that sometimes you don't feel very good, but it still hurts to hear people complain when I would give anything to feel like crap because of a pregnancy!
