Emotional!

17 Replies

A girl I used to babysit is currently on her way to hospital to have her baby. We both found out we were pregnant within days of each other only mine was ectopic. Feeling a little emotional & sorry for myself but she's my best friend's daughter so also highly emotional for my friend who is about to become a granny & excited/emotional for the mum-to-be as she's like a daughter to me. Christ almighty, how many emotions at once?? Going to go do some gardening then possibly have a few glasses of wine... Maybe not in that order!

What a mix of emotions for you Star. I'm really sorry to hear of your loss - it's so hard when you have someone else who got pregnant around the same time. It happened to me and I haven't even been able to go and meet her baby boy yet. It sounds like you will be more supportive. Take care of yourself this evening xxx

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss too & hope that you can find the strength to meet him when you feel ready. Your friend understands I'm sure.

My friend asked her daughter if she wanted to pop over & say hi while I was there yesterday (before it all kicked off) but apparently she started crying & said she couldn't see me because she felt so awful. Then I felt awful making her feel like that - what a mess!

lots of hugs to you xxx

Ouch I know only too well how you feel. My cousin and his fiance announced their pregnancy shortly after we found out we were pregnant a couple of years ago, we went on to miscarry before announcing. It hurt that little bit more when their gorgeous little girl arrived and they chose the name that we had chosen for a girl 🙈

My best friend who was also trying for a baby at the same time as me then fell pregnant shortly after our miscarriage.

So hard and emotional. Have that wine, take some deep breaths/have a cry/scream...whatever you need to do...then be as strong as you can for the difficult days ahead xx

in reply toSeniorPhipps

Omg, I'm so sorry, you had the most awful time & the baby's name must be a constant cause of heartache for you. You sound like a very strong lady to deal with all of that. Wishing you so much luck with your journey xxxxx

I've never thought of myself as strong but that's because I've got a logical mind. Whenever I feel bad about things I try to remind myself that they didn't choose to upset me and I WILL get to be a mummy one day.

It's not easy but we do what we have to to get ourselves through this.

I hope you find your strength and happy ending xx

in reply toSeniorPhipps

Thank you & you too 😊 You are right, no one chooses to hurt us xxx

You are perfectly entitled to feel sorry for yourself. I'm so sorry for your loss. I had an ectopic in april at 9 weeks. It's just horrendous. I totally understand why you feel the way you do. Hope you enjoyed a few glasses of wine and are doing ok tonight. Xx

I'm sorry for your loss too, I hope that you are recovering well? I was very lucky & mine resolved itself so things could have been worse in that respect. Lots of hugs to you xxx

Thank you Hidden . I am glad yours resolved on its own and you didn't need surgery, although it certainly doesn't make the grief any easier. Unfortunately mine ruptured and I had my tube removed. I would say even 4 months on I am still not fully back to full strength but I am getting there. I'm due to start our first ICSI cycle in two weeks so just trying to be as healthy as possible. Hope today has been a bit brighter for you. Take care. Xx

It's so natural what you are feeling and you are also so generous!

I wish you the best, you deserve It

Xxx

Emotional wreck today 👎🏼

I have no idea why but today I am just super emotional, I literally cannot stop crying thismorning....

I'm new here. My sister just text me to announce her pregnancy :-( I just can't cope.

Firstly, I'm angry at getting a text with her news. Really? A text? It's so gutless. I'm so angry...
