LTTTCer needing some reassurance....

[Marley&Me]

All FX for you myturn xx

[myturn]

Oh. My. God.


My sister is pregnant.

I want to be happy for her..... But I can't. She is due the same time as me.

So if all is well - she steals my thunder.....

If all is not well - she has a baby at the time mine is due..... How will I ever look at the baby without thinking of mine!!!

Cant think that far ahead.... But this is my worst nightmare.....

And I feel like the most horrible terrible cow for being so upset about it.

Oh honey! Bug

[maybebaby2012]

My sister & my two best friends are all currently pregnant with apparently healthy, 'surprise' babies. The three people who I would usually turn to for comfort during this time, I find myself distancing myself instead because it is just too much for me right now. So I couldn't see this and not post because I can absolutely appreciate how you are feeling.
I wish with all my heart that she is a mere thunder stealer & that in but a few weeks you will be comparing funny preggo anecdotes. Big love to you xx

[kerbear]

Oh babe I feel for you and completely understand what you are feeling. I agree completely with what n2l wrote you are a strong woman and matter what happens we are here for you.
Just remember even though it feels like your thunder has been stolen its you and your hubby that are important and you both get to share everything together and that's the most important part xoxo
Thinking of you my gorgeous friend and sending you a hug

Oh sweetie every pregnancy announcement had me feeling like the universe was out to get me. At this time I can only imagine how much worse it feels for you. You will get through this and fingers crossed that beautiful blob you have is healthy and arrives just ahead of your sisters xx

[Saffy]

I'm sorry myturn, its a kick in the guts. It happened to me too, DH and I nearly passed out when we were told in front of all the family. I took it to mean I would definately m/c ( so did dh he admitted later) and that didn't happen obviously, but its so difficult.
I really hope everything turns out beautifully for you and your sister. Hang in there, its an awful time, and so unfair you haveto go through this stress.

Gosh...what a total nightmare What a kick from the universe

We are all praying that blob grows and grows and when April comes it wont matter who comes first as you will be completely obsessed with your little one.

I can only echo what the other wise ladies have said. And don't beat yourself up, your feelings are valid and important.

Sending strength to you x

[Keta]

Sweet lady, I'm so sorry that another hurdle has been placed in front of you. Right now you are in such a cruel place. The not knowing either way (aka limbo) must be horrible. I am hoping so much that the best case scenario comes from all this and like me your little one will have an instant play mate in a cousin born within weeks of them. Wish there was some wisdom I could provide. I think N2L put it nicely though. Giant hugs xxx

[Andie78]

you're not a 'horrible cow' for feeling the way you do - far from it. you just want a baby and to be a mum, and the ltttc road has been (and continues to be) hard for you. totally understandable that you are feeling upset at your sisters announcement. i hope that your scan goes well this week, i have been stalking you - as im sure all the other ltttc ladies have too, crossing fingers for good news. xx

[Marley&Me]

I would and have felt exactly the same myturn, you are not alone with that. Pretending to feel something that you don't makes you feel so much worse too.
I am sorry this is such bad timing, but hopefully everything will turn out fine and you can both have a happy and healthy pregnancy together. Try to think of the positives like playdates after they are born

[Blondie]

Myturn - my heart is breaking for you. I would have felt the same way! How could you not! This is such a worrying time for you and you want to be happy for her, but her news couldn't have come at a worse time

I really really hope things work out for you! You are so very deserving of a healthy little one!

[Joeve]

Another hug from me I am thinking of you lots xx

[Santosha]

More love and positive vibes coming your way. xoxoxoxo oxoxoxox

[PumpkinZulu]

You're doing amazingly, coping with all of this. Thinking of you.

[kerbear]

Hug hug hug hug to my gorgeous strong friend, you sound like
You have the right plan keeping busy. Thinking of you every day, dh asked me how you were tonight which is very sweet cause i always talk about you xo

[myturn]

dh asked me how you were tonight which is very sweet cause i always talk about you xo

awww..... tell him he just made my night

read out your message to my DH, and he just smiled.... .... he finds my online life hard to understand..... but I think he is glad I have some other people to obsess about everything with!

PZ.... I don't always feel like I am doing so well.... but I am glad I seem like I am!!

I think I am managing to keep up the pretense... apart from the low level hysteria that permeates most of my conversations
