Okay, this is going to sound mean probably. But I officially hate facebook now. I hated it anyway, because I had announced my baby on there after the 12 week mark, and now have to deal with randomly everyone knowing I was pg but not that I m/c. But now I am noticing how many babies/pregnancies are ALL OVER IT. Seriously. All over. And it always seems to be the first thing on my news feed. The other day it was a friend showing off her 3 month "bump" (my first thought was "hope you don't have to go through what I am now"), and just now the first thing was like fifty pictures of a newborn baby, literally still bloody post-birth. I can't handle it. I feel terrible, because I don't want to resent these women or their babies, I am happy for them. But it is too hard to see. All the damn time.

Re: Facebook
I'm sorry for your loss; and I'm sorry you're having to handle it all while hearing of other peoples' good news. It's not fair and it sucks! I totally feel you.
I pray for better days ahead for you. Allow yourself time, and if that means you ditch Facebook for a few weeks, or for the next year even, then do that. You deserve to feel exactly what you are feeling.
Big hugs to you!
I got rid of my facebook for this exact reason. I have 4 friends due within the last 3 months. They are also the ones who talk about their pregnancy non stop. It was annoying when I was pregnant and I knew it would be annoying now that I am not pregnant. For my sanity I deactivated my facebook. I had to do what was right for me.

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm having the same feelings towards facebook. We announced at 8 weeks after we saw the heartbeat and then had to "unannounce" after 12 weeks when I had my m/c. As much as I hated how public our loss became, it was easier to not have to tell people in person.
And I too feel like my newsfeed is just swamped with baby related stuff. I've tried to stay off fb as much as possible these past few weeks. It's just too hard. (hugs)
