confession and vent. i miscarried a little while ago and i'm getting to the end of my doctor-mandated waiting period before ttc'ing again. i think it's creating a lot of emotional upheaval in me. my good friend is expecting and i'm sorry to say that i'm jealous. and i'm so mad at the poster from yesterday who was planning on aborting. i realize i'm overly sensitive now, but it's really hard for me.

It is understandable for you to feel the way that you do. Don't be so hard on yourself. Be sure to give yourself enough time before TTC again. I truly wish you all the best. [ Reply | More

Try to do something special for yourself...really special. You deserve it. And please do not feel guilty when some of those emotions creep up on you. I had a miscarriage almost 10 years ago. It was my first pregnancy. I found that talking about it to someone was helpful...especially someone who did NOT say, "Well you can have more." I spoke to a counselor from the Pregnancy Loss Support Group that was run by the National Association of Jewish Women. (I am not Jewish and you do not have to be to receive support.) I just found it good to be able to "get it all out" with someone who understood what I was feeling and didn't respond with trite statements. Like I said, I truly wish the best for you and PLEASE do not be hard on yourself. [ Reply | More

I miscarried a couple of years ago and I felt the same way. I was so sad and kind of mad that here I am desperately wanting a baby, and don't have one and then there are people that don't want one and can get pregnant and not miscarry so easily. Just focus on yourself and it will happen for you soon! :) [ Reply | More
