Warning-may upset many people! Not trying to. Venting!
I'm starting to get really frustrated with some people in my family and some that I know that make the happiness of our pregnancy not so happy sometimes. I'm sorry you lost your babies, I could still end up loosing mine. Trying to get pregnant for 6 years was devastating. I couldn't give that one thing to my husband that he always wanted. So yes when we got pregnant we were scared, happy, anxious and so much more! The struggle of seeing everyone else get pregnant around us made us sad in ways but very happy for them! I do not know the feeling of loosing a baby but I know that it is painful and I'm trying to be supportive and try to enjoy our miracle at the same time because that's what baby is. He is a miracle. I understand it hurts. It's painful. Your gonna grieve for a very long time probably forever. It's very hard for both parties for many different reasons but our son is a blessing and miracle to us and if you want to give up on knowing him then that will be your loss. I'm done trying to support you and to be happy for us. Those are my feelings right now y'all. I'm sorry if this has upset some people, was not intention. Just venting. Feedback on what I should do would be appreciated. :)
@justtkristin, it will just give it time..and I always announce as soon as I find out because I never know how long I have my babies for and I like people to know that's they were here :) thank you girl
Having lost a pregnancy, I would try to be happy for anyone else with good pregnancy news, but I might also take a step back for a bit. As far as what you should do. Tell her that you are sorry, tell her that you are there for her (and mean it), and don't go on and on about your pregnancy. If she asks, fine. If she doesn't, talk about whatever you used to talk about... food, hobbies, whatever. Don't be mad if she wants space and time to grieve. Best of luck!
@corinasolorio, I just wish things could be different for so many people. Prayers and thoughts to everyone who is struggling with losses or infertility and blessings. It will all work out when it's suppose to.
Thanks girl. Your real kind. I appreciate that! :) I know it's not just now seems like that. I understand they are still coping and probably will cope for a longgg time! I understand they will probably never stop but it'll get better eventually. Just do what you feel you should do in your heart. If you don't want to announce anything for a long time I feel people would understand. Hang in their you got this! Your welcome. :) @corinasolorio
And I've also been on the other side of this so I know it hurts! :( even me expecting my rainbow hurts some friends that still haven't gotten theirs :/
I'm so sorry girl it's such a hard thing for both sides i really hope they come around just please don't think it's to hurt you. They are probably just hurting..you can't put yourself in their shoes until you go through it and even then everyone copes differently..I hope they learn to cope :( it's so hard took us many years.. Even though I'm currently pregnant I still struggle with pregnancy announcements and birth announcements.. And thank you! :)
I'm sorry to hear about your losses. I know that's tough. My brother and wife lost 7 before getting pregnant again and now he is no longer here. Anyways, I can def see this point of view. I don't think it would bother me so much if it was a distant relative but it being the brother of my husband it bothers me more. They lost there babies in April and we found out we were pregnant 5 weeks before they lost them. There is just so much to do with it that it just breaks my heart for both of us. Trying to put myself in their shoes. I don't want our son not knowing them or being looked at differently that is what is killing me about it a lot of the time. I just have so many feelings about everything. I'm really sorry once again for your loss. I'm glad you were able to bring in beautiful babies into the world though and pregnant with another! My prayers and thoughts are with you for a fast and joyful pregnancy! ;) Thanks again for giving your opinion. @corinasolorio
I wouldn't get too offended if she pulled away from your pregnancy or child.. I've done this..I had a hard time looking at a family member who was pregnant along with me after I lost my baby.. To this day i have a hard time looking at her child.. I was very happy for her they tried for a very long time..it took me a while and a few losses to learn how to cope. It's really hard.. Don't take it personally she might just not know how to cope :/ I personally tried not to make anyone else uncomfortable when we found out they were pregnant o would put a huge smile on and get excited and then I would go cry alone in the bathroom. I cried in front of my sister in law when she told us she was having twins. But I was never unhappy for anyone. I just had a hard time. I've lost five babies now. But I was blessed too I have one rainbow baby after my first two losses and now one on the way after three more losses. I'm sorry your going through this and congrats on your little bean! :)
Totally with you ! Enjoy your soon to be bundle , it's your greatest gift ! 💓
