Babies and bumps everywhere but here...pg ment. Not mine

MAnn620 · June 2014

Just need to vent. Everywhere I turn there is a newborn baby or a newly announced bump. I'm so tired of it. I know that's terrible, but I'm really sad.

Our cousins just had their first. We knew it was coming (we found out on speakerphone over thanksgiving dinner nonetheless), but it's really stinging. Another friend just announced baby #2 on the way.

I just don't understand why it has to be so hard for some of us. I'm currently in 2ww on iui#4, 8dp, and all symptoms have disappeared. Ugh.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Yep, me too. My sister-in-law just gave birth a few months ago, the maid-of-honor from my wedding did too (both second children for them), and another of my bridesmaids is pregnant with her second. That covers all the women in my wedding party. I nearly cried when I saw the announcement on facebook.

Oh, and my sister-in-law on my husband's side is 3 months pregnant with her first. And my husband's 18yo son accidentally got his ex-girlfriend pregnant (though that did not stick, for which everyone is thankful, even the ex-girlfriend).

"I just don't understand why it has to be so hard for some of us." Neither do I.

10-4...hear you ladies loud and clear. One of my "good" friends (I said "good" for other reasons) tricked one of my other friends and I to throw her a baby shower and we fell for it. Being the nice person I was raised to be I am going to do it but after this stupid ass party I am going M.I.A. from her. ALL she wants to talk about is her pregnancy and granted I was very excited for her when she found out I am over it now. It's as if she is the ONLY preg person to walk this earth...The other day we were trying to date an event that happened a while ago and she said "HELLO! It was in January..remember I was only like 7 weeks pregnant." I so badly wanted to say and that's relevant to the conversation beeeeeccccccauuuuuuuuuuuseeeeeeeeeeeee why?????????? OVER IT!!!

I feel better now. We just need to be supportive and follow dr orders and stay positive. I always remind myself that we all have demons to battle.

Ugh so sorry ladies especially your "friend" @CarSaidYes‌ who needs to reference things in that inane way!! Pregnant acquaintances, coworkers, friends and family always seem to come in waves, amplifying our torture and solitude. ((Hugs)) we understand.

I think we can all relate! Just know when you have those feelings that its ok to be sad, frustrated and/or angry. We are all in the same boat, none of us are alone (at least on the internet!).

Facebook preggo announcements should be illegal

I hear you. I feel the exact same way! Not sure how much longer I can take it

Btw you and I are in the same boat -I had iui4 and am in TWW. Hate it. Vent away, my friend!

I feel for you honey...my 18 year old cousin just had their baby last night my sisters pregnant one of the girls I work with is pregnant and it's just everywhere. AF showed up at work today so this cycle was a bust so I'm extra sensitive to...I always say why does something is so natural have to be so hard and it's getting to me I'm sick of crying.but at least we have a place here we can come vent to each other because we know nobody else in our lives understand this!!

Your support made me feel better. Thanks ladies. It's good to know we have each other! Sometimes I feel so alone.

I hear ya- just found out my friends teenage daughter ( with no job, no car , is currently couch surfing and broke up with bf) is pregnant - yet me married woman with a house and good job can't seem to get KU. Hang in there

I actually deactivated my Facebook account a few months ago to avoid seeing some of those announcements…. It seems like a drastic response, but it's worked for me. Though I know that some people use Facebook to keep in touch with friends, so account deactivation might not be an option. And, of course, it does not avoid the friends-and-family pregnancy announcements--when we have to deal with conflicting emotions of excitement/happiness and sadness.
