I am really struggling with seeing people who are as pregnant as I should be (15 weeks). I am trying to remain positive but it's so hard. I'm sure it won't be much easier when I see them have their babies too

I'm kind of in the same boat right now. It's still kind of easy for me to be around babies but I am having a heck of a time with pregnant women. I think once my due date rolls around in May I will have a harder time with babies rather than pregnant women. There is a woman I work with who is also due in May and I've been trying to avoid her at all costs because I don't want to see how much I should have been showing at this point....

Hugs! I have a hard time seeing pregnant women in general right now.

I totally understand. Today would be 7 weeks for me. Hopefully we will be distracted with being pregnant soon!!

Since I just got this newest BFP, a lot of my former DDC mates have been wishing me congrats. It's bittersweet because they are all forging into their second trimesters, and I'm starting anew.

I just wanted to say, though, that once you get your BFP (which will be soon!), you'll be focusing way less on what your old due date was and more on the future. And then when those women do have their babies, you can be excited for them, knowing that you'll be next in a few months.

I am struggling all around! I hope you get your sticky bean very soon!

I am sorry you are struggling right now....(((HUGS)))!!!!

I felt the same way when I got my BFP and I still can't help but think, I should be about 25/26 weeks by now, it still is hard! We may be forging into our 2nd trimesters, but I know you all will be doing it soon too! Hang in there, I know, easy for me to say right!? HUGS and I hope you get your BFP very, very soon!!

I feel the same way. We got a Christmas card from one of DH's college friends and when I looked at the picture, I knew right away that she was pregnant. Sure enough, the letter announced they are expecting their third baby this Spring. It practically made me cry.

joanna26 · #11 December 9th, 2011, 12:33 PM

I hear you sweetie. My EDD was 12/12 and I am having a very hard time with the fact that I should be holding my newborn right now. Instead I'm still here, just plodding along month after month with no end in sight.

L-SBB · #12 December 9th, 2011, 12:58 PM

I did find being pregnant (with Savannah) as i hit my EDD with first loss helped take the sting out of it a little...but to this day i still avoid looking at the May '09 DDC (i know so many people in May '12 DDC, i won't be able to not lurk

) b/c it's just hard to see what their kids are doing and wonder "what if...." even though the logical part of me knows that had that pregnancy succeeded, Savannah wouldn't be here. Right now i'm avoiding bumping into pregnant women like they are plague carriers

Sigh...PL sucks, that's just the truth of it!

Big fat ditto! My EDD was Dec. 25th. Why couldn't it be the 24th, or the 26th? The most festive day of the year and all I want to do is give it the finger. Everything about Christmas makes me cry.

I wish none of us had to go through this.

Leanne78 · #14 December 9th, 2011, 01:33 PM

(((Hugs))) hun. I totally get how you are feeling. It is really hard for me to hear of my friends getting pregnant. I just had one of my best friends tell me she is due with her 3rd and I found out that another of my friends has been pregnant for a while but keeping it from me. I am actually happy for them but I get so sad for myself because I should be getting ready to deliver baby number 2 in a few weeks. My due date was Jan 2 and I'm not really looking forward to the emotions that day is going to bring. Your feelings are totally normal and you are not alone!

.:Shortcake:. · #15 December 9th, 2011, 05:12 PM

I've been there so often and have tried many things but the only thing that gets me through is the hope that this is my cycle and that I will be pregnant again soon and have my own rainbow baby.

ninja_mommy · #16 December 9th, 2011, 07:31 PM

Thanks everyone, pretty sure AF is lurking, spotting today, crampy and backache, but I am actually happy. I felt as if this cycle was anovulatory and the spotting in the middle was just too weird for me!
We are moving to our new house this weekend. So, new house, new cycle, new found hope! On my way to a Sept baby!

junie22 · #17 December 9th, 2011, 07:53 PM

September is my favorite month. That will be a great time for baby.

JulieMc · #18 December 9th, 2011, 08:15 PM

Yea, it sucks. What bothers me most are all the pregnancy announcements from people who did not want to be pregnant at all, ever again.... for some reason, that just makes it all worse.

LittleMomma09 · #19 December 9th, 2011, 09:47 PM

I know how you feel sweetie. My best friend who was 2weeks ahead of me came and seen me last night. We stopped and seen my mom who lives close and all my mom and her could talk about all the May birthdays between her family and mine. I about started crying. Then she gets ready to leave and ask me if I wanted to go with her to her doctors appointment today to hear the heartbeat. I think I might have been fine but she goes to my OB. I came out and told her that I didn't think I could handle being in a room of pregnant women. Thankfully she is very understanding and didn't get offended.

terajet · #20 December 10th, 2011, 02:56 PM

I feel for you all. I am worrying about this Christmas as well. My next door neighbour just had a baby yesterday. My SIL is due in April and I will see her for the first time since she started showing. The reality that I should either be holding a baby this Christmas (EDD Aug 27) or be close to delivering a baby (EDD Feb3) will definitely hit all at once. The only thing that I look forward to is possibly getting a christmas BFP as AF is due on the 24th and hopefully she will stay away.

HUGS to everyone struggling through the holidays.
