Default need to vent somewhere that I am understood

I just found out that my assistant principal is pg. That now makes 4 women that I know of in this building that are pg. Three are due right after I was due and it just kills me to see their growing bellies when I was supposed to be pg right now too. No one here understands how hard it is for me. All of the other women in the building that have had m/c's all have other children or are pg again. They just don't seem to care how difficult it is for me to face them every day.

One of the women I'm closest with had a m/c a while back but then had a little girl this spring. Last year she was one of the best people for me to turn to when I was having a bad day, but even she seems oblivious to my pain and doesn't understand why I don't want to talk about everyone's babies and pregnancies.

My husband and I are now licensed to be foster parents and we're waiting for our first placement. I just keep hoping that having a child to love and care for, even temporarily, will take away some of this pain and make it easier for me to face this place everyday.

Thanks for listening.

{{{HUGS}}} Sherri, I know it is hard to see pregnant women. Some days I still have a hard time with it. Last month would have been my daughter's 6th b-day. I managed to drag myself to Weight Watchers that evening and one of the ladies had brought her 6 year old daughter with her that day. I just wanted to die. I also had co-workers that thought nothing of telling me all about other's pregnancies and babies after I lost my baby. I don't know why they don't think about how hurtful it is for us. Good luck with being a foster parent. There is a child out there that needs the love and attention that you will give it. I admire anyone that is a foster parent.

How quickly they forget, eh?

I'm sorry she's being insensitive.

Thanks ladies, both for your understanding and the gifts. Sometimes I just really need someone to talk to and this board has been the place that I feel the most comfortable. The closer I get to my angel's due date, the harder it gets. We never got an exact date but the best I can figure is November 30th. That will be exactly one week after my 30th bday. I really hoped I would be pg again by now but I don't really have a lot of optimism. My cycles have been really screwy since the m/c and I wonder if I'll ever be pg again.

Turtle & Jules - I'm so sorry for your recent losses.

It's awful that no one is remembering your feelings right now. (((hugs)))
I'm glad you have us for times like this. I hope it gets easier soon!
