Worst Play date ever...

NB817 · November 2014

Yesterday I went to a play date with some of the moms I hang out with on a regular basis and when I got there and looked around at the 6 other moms there I realized every single one was either pregnant with number 2 or just had had number 2. It took about everything I had not to cry as I am currently on CD 3. I felt so out of place with friends who I've never felt like that with before. All the talk was about what its like having two and how the pregnancies are going. (

Anyone else ever feel like that? Or had an experience like that?

I am so sorry, that just sounds awful!
Dropping off / picking up DS from school I feel like the odd person out usually. Everyone comes in with their baby on their hip or in their infant carrier and I've cried a few times waiting for him to come out of school.
Usually when I'm around babies I try to not pay attention to them (aka ignore them), I must look like a huge bitch but I don't really care I can't handle it.

I'm so sorry! You are not alone! I had a very similar experience the other day. I just moved to a new state and I joined an area moms group to meet new people and so DS could have play dates. I went to a playdate/group meeting yesterday and came to the realization that DS was the oldest child there and was the only one who didn't have a sibling.

It gave me all the sadz!

I am slowly starting to feel that way. I started to notice it after DD hit the age to where I would have wanted to already been pregnant. It is also hard when I notice people who are pregnant with number 2 who have a DC who is my daughter's age.

Thank you for sharing ladies. I'm glad I'm not alone. And I waited until last night to break down about it.

I'm so sorry. I have found myself in similar situations. Worse, if there are moms that don't have number 2, I catch myself studying their midsections wondering if they're pregnant. Argh.. I hate what I've become sometimes.

I'm sorry you had such a hard time.
My 3 best friends all had baby #2 within 3 months of each other (our firsts are all the same age) so it has been really tough. I was "supposed" to have mine right in that same time frame, too. Who knew I wouldn't get pregnant when I wanted to?! Instead, I have another mid cycle u/s tomorrow. Blah.
Are you starting another cycle with Clomid?

Ugh this is me too! Except they are both pregnant and expecting on the same exact day! And my daughter is BFFs with their daughters (we actually met at a BFing support group when they were 5 weeks old) and now my DD keeps asking if I have a baby in my belly. Hardest thing she's ever asked me! I want to break down every time she asks which is basically every other day.

I did not start the 3rd round of Clomid. I have my HSG this Tuesday and DH is doing a S/A on Monday...REs here we come!

Oh hey @NB817 I forgot:
did you have that cervical mucus test done? I just did one this morning. I was told to have sex the night before, so luckily I didn't have to be there right afterwards. Just wanted to see if you had it/how it went!

Apparently there are very few sperm getting through mine-ugh! IUIs only for us now, I guess!

Nope! He wanted to do that after the HSG, but I'm thinking we need to trouble shoot DH too before we start poking around after sex.
