Why oh why did I look on facebook?

ginger91 · Nov 11th, 2009, 16:09 PM

Been having a bit of a funny day today anyway, then I just had to look on facebook... at all the pregnant people I'd blocked off. Why am I so silly? Feeling pretty crap now.

Think we all do that...even though we know it'll hurt. I used to do it a lot...and obsess over it. I'm lucky to have a LO now, and you will be too!

It hurts so badly right now, but things DO get better in time (cliche I know)...it probably does't seem it at the moment though. Sorry i'm rubbish at advice...but thinking of you, take care xx (((hugs)))

I had been fine. Thought I was coping so well. Just having a bit of a down day today.

facebook is torture, isn't it! Unfortunately it is so damn addictive, no matter how much it hurts to see all those scan pics. try and remember that it WILL be you one day. I had to wait another 5 months for my bfp, but it did come!

I can totally emphatise. I didn't understand why people were so upset about seeing posts on facebook until today. I saw my old work collegue is pregnant and it felt like my womb ached , such a horrible feeling. God i hope we can get over this i'm dreading someone close to me telling me their pregnant i think i'd cry.

Hopefully it starts getting easier soon , def avoiding fb .

Ok so I managed to block off 3 pregnant people on facebook so I can still go on. Then 2 more people announce their pregnancies! And they would have been the same dates as me if all had been well. Is there no escaping other people's pregnancies? Must be the right age for pregnancy! Ahhhh!

It hurts I know. I don't use facebook that much but my sis-in-law is pregnant. Her due date is 2 days after when mmine should have been. She has been a great source of support as she had MCs herself. Anyway, she called last week as she has been feeling hormonal, sick, and not eating. She just needed someone to talk to so thought I was the best person. I was patient for 40 mins listening to her but I can tell you it hurt a lot.

I know, everyone seems to be pregnant or just had babies. My best friend in the world, been through loads together, almost like sisters. We got pregnant at the same time and even though I knew when she annouced hers on facebook I was distraught as we agreed to do it together. Then I saw all those congratulations and felt even worse. It just felt so unfair!

Big hugs to you! Xx

Two of my friends had babies yesterday, I'm glad I didn't feel upset when I met one of them.

We'll get our turn x

toriaaaaTRASH is right, your time is round the corner, I cant tell you how many times I had my heart ripped out everytime someone announced their pregnancy after my miscarriages

I couldnt win, as others tip toed around me and it made me even more angry.

Even when i was successfully pregnant I had scarred myself so deep with those feelings that I actually still felt a pang of jealousy, forgetting I was there, i'd made it.....and had to have a word with myself!

Time is a healer and it will happen, I promise. xxxxxxx
