Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

FrUsTrAtEd!

So...I've been trying to not get be frustrated about this whole situation but yesterday afternon & today have been very frustrating...

The day we found out we had had an incomplete miscarriage, we found out that one of our friends sisters was pregnant and due in December (same as us). Yesterday afternoon our friend changed her BBM pic to the ultrasound of her new neice or nephew. I greeted this with a comment that I was super happy for her sister and asked how far along she was...I shouldnt have. We would have been due one week apart... :( So I tell my lovely DH and he says, we cant get sad or emotional everytime we find out someone is pregnant...I had to remind myself that I love him and he is looking out for me before I snapped.

Today, I asked my Dr if I could get a second blood draw just to confirm my levels were going down - date of hospital visit 1300, last tuesday 33. He refused saying that I would be fine and it was not necessary. Necessary to who! It's darn well necessary to me & my mind!! Anyways...hes been great otherwise but that really bothered me.

Also today, im chatting with my best friend and she tells me that a girl we went to College with is having her second. I am totally excited for her because they have a 4 year old and have been trying for a second since they had him...then the blow...she's due in December. Ugh. Again, DH doesnt understand why it bothers me...but instead of saying anything he just smiled at me, so that was good.

I have a job interview in the morning and am trying to focus on that instead of any of this but its not working.

Sorry for the rant...I just feel like nothing is going right. Fingers crossed for a better tomorrow :)

  • First of all - good luck with your job interview tomorrow morning! I'll send plenty of positive interview vibes your way :)

    But secondly - I am right there with you. I don't want to hear about anyone else's good fortune right now when I'm living in my own personal nightmare. I don't want to pretend to be happy for someone else's healthy pregnancy at this point (unless they have known loss like we have.) I know how wrong this is... I know it. But for me and my own sanity - it's just not possible to be happy for anyone else when the loss is still los fresh in my mind

    I'm sorry about your loss.

  •  I am beyond relieved to know I am not the only one feeling this way. Hopefully with time it will ease but I am having a tremendously horrible time pretending to be happy for people. 

    I am so sorry you are having other peoples successful pregnancies thrown in your face. Intentional or not, it is the hardest thing.

    Ditto to all. I can't slap on a fake grin, bat my lashes and gush when someone announces their pregnancy. I just can't handle it. I don't hate them by any means but I also don't want to hear about it just yet. And it seems like suddenly everyone and their friend are pregnant. I wish I could program my computer to hide anything in reference to pregnancies. That would rock. Until then, I try to stay busy. Good luck with your interview. Hang in there. I am sorry for your loss

  • I'm sorry your dr isn't willing to accomodate your request for another blood draw.

    I understand how difficult it can be to hear about someone else's success. While you may be happy for them, the overwhelming sadness for yourself can be hard, but is completely acceptable.

    Good luck with the interview.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss and sorry that you're not getting the support that you need :(  Your DH is grieving too, but it's terrible that he's not giving you what you need.

    I have a few friends that are pregnant too and it's hard.  My MOH is due in October and going for her a/s today.  That was the first story on my FB feed this morning.  And one of my best friends is pregnant and due 10 days after my EDD.  We had so much fun talking about our pregnancies.... I'm forcing myself to go to dinner with her tonight to get over the awkward now instead of later.

    It's normal to feel jealous or angry towards pregnant women right now.  That doesn't mean you're mad AT them, just at the situation.  In time, I hope this heals for you (and me too). 

    Best of luck at your interview today! 

    And just so you know, the ladies on this board are super supportive.  Feel free to vent, rant, ask questions, etc.  Whatever you need to do.  (hugs)
