Frustrating

MessyMommy · February 2014

Excessive pregnancy posts on fbook never bothered me, but ever since I MC a few months ago there are two mommas who post about their pregnancy and it's driving me crazy. I feel mean. I don't comment I just scroll on by but I feel so bitter towards them. One is a ftm who has struggled to get pregnant so I am really trying to be happy for her because I know she's MC several times and the other is a 3rd time mom who posted she was pregnant when she found out at 3 weeks which was the week I was MC. I didn't expect to feel so bitter about other pregnant mommas and honestly it's just these two and I don't know why. I feel like the worst person in the world.

I'm so sorry. You can't help how you feel, and you're not the worst person in the world- not even close. You're going through something impossibly difficult, and you have to be kind to yourself. I'm still new here and still in shock from my MMC, but I know enough to know that nothing you feel is unusual. ((Hugs))

RIGHT THERE WITH YOU. The night I was miscarrying a cousin posted that she was pregnant for the 3rd time (her husband has been very vocal about not wanting another baby)...kicker, her due date is a week after mine was supposed to be. She has never had problems or complications conceiving or being pregnant. She has 2 under 2 and now she's adding a 3rd! I don't like myself for being so hateful and jealous. I am not that type of person normally but I am just so bitter and angry. I don't ever say anything, same as you I just scroll by with a pit in my stomach. Even craving posts bother me. It's so sad to feel that way but I think it's natural...not healthy but natural. I hate that feeling. And of course everyone is either pregnant or having babies and years past there was a lull.

Your reaction is normal. I've blocked all posts on facebook from babygaga and others of the like. Seems like I have a ton of FB friends who are pregnant at the moment. It's a special kind of messed up trying to feel happy for others but sad for yourself at the same time. Just have to keep hope that someday it will be you!

Yup. my sister is pregnant with her second, and we were so excited to have sisters (we both thought we'd have girls) that were one month apart. I miscarried (my first), she's due one month before me. I am genuinely happy for her but it will be tough.

In addition, three facebook friends are pregnant. Two just had babies. Very crappy facebook time.

None of us are alone. You're not alone in your grief. Anger is normal and justified.
