my friend now has morning sickness and is very tired etc. I try hard to be supportive when we chat. Truth is I would love to have morning sickness. And also, I really don't want to hear about it, at all. But I ask how she is and take an interest because I am trying to be a friend. She also flippantly talks about "when she has 2 kids" etc. I dont think she realises /is totally sensitive to where I am at. She is just happy and excited, understandably.
This post is nothing more than a vent really. She is a nice person and has been a support to me in the TTC process.
I know I have been whinging on here quite a bit lately. Please excuse that. This is just a good, safe outlet.
Hi Possums, I just wanted to give you the biggest and that I possibly can give you through this post. Whenever I read one of your posts it always surprises me as to what an amazingly strong woman you are - you have a heart of gold and are always there for any of us when we need a shoulder or a helping hand. Feel free to vent all you need to, we are all here for you. Take care my friend
It's so hard. there's the physical turmoil of TTC and then there's the even bigger emotional turmoil of LTTTC.
when ppl fell pg around me on our journey they only saw the smiles and congratulations, then the cards and baby shower gifts and the smiling visits at the hospital to welcome their new baby.
what they don't see are the mountains of tears and gut wrenching aching that goes on when we are constantly being shown that it is not us. even when they know that you are TTC and have faced losses. it's so hard.
many don't realise how beautiful morning sickness sounds to ppl who have had to travel the road of LTTTC!
hang in there Possums, and yeah like you said, take steps back when you need to. at least that is what i found to be sometimes the best way to get through in the short term day to day.
possums i think you should let your friend know that you're feeling a bit sensitive ATM, if you say it in a nice way like " i am so pleased that you are preg but i would prefer we talk about other topics for a while" i am sure if she is a good friend she will understand.
i am thinking of you and sending you some more hugs xxoo
