So i am active duty military. DH and I have been trying for the last 3 years to conceive with no luck. We have been doing chlomid since Jan. His sister is preggo and i have like huge jealousy issues because its what i want so bad. Next month is her babyshower. I initially said i couldnt get off work and just my hubby was going but now im feeling guilty since its hubbys bday party and we see his family maybe 1 every two years. I really dont want to go to the babyshower and scared i might turn into an emotional wreck but i feel like a jerk for not going. What would you do?
Re: New and need help
I know how you feel. My cousin is now pregnant with her second and I am just now starting fertility treatment. My mom's side of the family often has family parties and on Easter when my cousin got to my aunt's house I burst into tears. In addition to that the next family party is on my birthday (I already told my family that if I am not pregnant by then I'm not going to spend my birthday around someone who is). If you don't feel like going, send your regards and a gift and call it that. Your sanity is more important than a baby shower (even if it is your sister-in-law.
