Today was rough- pg mentioned- not mine

Mr&MrsMTA · May 2013

So I posted last night about having to go to my nephews communion today and my SIL invited a friend of the family that announced she was expecting a month after I did. Well I was suppose to be 26 wks tomorrow, I was a little worried about having to look at her belly, but and I hate to say anything like this but she is a bigger gal so even though she is about 21-22wks I could not see her bump at all. She did not talk about herself at all UNTIL and aunt asked her how she was feeling and if she knew what she was having....right in front of me. I almost died I could tell she seemed a little hesitant to answer I dont know if it was out of respect for me or she just did want to tell anyone yet. But this aunt kept asking and so she finally came out with the worst sentence I could have heard today....Its a boy.

I was having a boy.........I almost lost it so I gracefully walked away just wanting to scream and cry. DH followed me out to the hall way of the place and I just looked him but I had nothing to say. I tried to just avoid her for the rest of the event.

I hate being benched, I think if I was at least past my 2 cycle wait and at the point were DH an I can start TTC again I wouldn't feel too bad. But it just plain sucks being stuck in this holding pattern.

I'm so so sorry. Hugs that is such a hard situation. I had a cousin and the same situation but she had a boy. It's so hard. It sounds like you gandled it very well. I hope your weekend is better from here.

(((hugs))) I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. It always seems like people have to bring it up, or gush, or talk right in front of us when we are grieving and it really sucks. I hope that the rest of your day is better.

I am so sorry it was hard, and it does suck to be benched. This constant state of limbo just leaves us feeling like we are not getting anything done. Just remember that the every day you are one day closer to being able to try again.

Hugs to you. The waiting game plain old stinks, especially when you are faced with situations like today. So sorry you had to go through that today.

I am so sorry. I should be around 2021 weeks so I so understand what you are going through. Hubby and I are getting ready to TTC but for some reason seeing woman that are pregnant right now is bothering me so much. A friend past co worker put a pic of herself at 30 weeks on fb wearing a two piece bathing suit saying she make 30 weeks looks good. I almost died seeing her pic. Upset me so much. Seems worse now that we are getting ready to TTC again. Not sure why only thing I can think of it if we don't get pregnant this month we will have to wait again and that is going to be hard since we got pregnant first try in December.

You are not alone. I am so sorry.

So sorry that today was rough for you. The feeling of not being able to do anything does stink. I'm still new to the game so I try and read up on everything so that way I feel like I'm "preparing" . Ill keep you in my thoughts and prayers

So sorry you are having a rough day doll. How many more weeks do you have to ride the pine? Sounds like this day if a perfect excuse to drink wine and eat chocolate and ice cream. Hugs

Sending a great BIG ((((BEAR HUG)))) your way. I'm so sorry today was so rough. You will definitely be in my T&P for a quick last part of your wait. I also would have been about 20-21 weeks right now and it does hurt knowing that we would have known what we were going to have and telling everyone. Just know you aren't alone and if you ever need to vent or need a shoulder to lean on we are all here for you.
