Mother’s Day!

For those of you feeling the same way as I am today, sending you lots of love! I am struggling with all the Mother’s Day hype, desperately wanting to be a Mummy myself & im not. This day just makes me feel even more of a failure! It just seems to reiterate how I feel the other 364 days of the year but multiplied by 100!

All the social media posts, the radio programmes, the tv, shops etc, no where is there a thought for those of us struggling desperately to be a Mummy & I will avoid them all as best as I can but will celebrate the day with my own lovely Mummy because she deserves it however sad I am feeling.

I hope One day it will be our turn 💖

Xx

Big hugs.xx I’m feeling the same today. It’s like i don’t see happy mother’s day everywhere-I see ‘you’re a failure you’re not a mother and I’ll remind you of that everywhere you look’ . It’s constantly on our minds anyway but even worse over this weekend.

Hope you get through the day ok.x

Ah thank you, yes he's a godsend and gorgeous but don't be fooled, he can be a little rascal too! I often think he's very good prep for if we do ever manage to have a baby haha xx

There are a few pages I follow on Facebook who have put out lots of posts for us today, I’ve shared a couple myself. It’s a tough day for many of us. Be kind to yourself xx

Awww big hugs! I’m sure we are all feeling the same it’s so hard. There are so many things that make you feel this way.... my friend called last night and told me she was pregnant, as soon as she hung up I burst into tears, then I felt terrible as I should be happy for her but it was just another reminder that it’s NOT happening for me! This struggle is too hard sometimes but we have to continue to try and stay strong. Xx
