This has been one of the hardest periods of my life. I am still grieving a first trimester miscarriage last from June, and a chemical pregnancy in December (which I also consider a miscarriage - I’m sorry if that triggers anyone).

I have a beautiful 2 year old daughter, whom I’m so very thankful for, every day. However, my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for the past 10 months since I miscarried. Our immediate family and a few friends know I miscarried and that we are trying, but I never really publicized what happened, because I didn’t feel the need to. I know more extended family members know than I like (I asked family to not talk to people about it, but they did any way 🙄) because they walk on eggshells around me.

I’ve been trying really hard to stay positive, and be thankful for what I have.. but this time has been really painful for me because both of my husbands sisters are pregnant. One is expecting her 3rd child, and the other is pregnant with twins; her 4th and 5th. They both told me on the same day, and they are about a week apart. I feel like everyone is pregnant. Literally every day or every other day, I see a pregnancy announcement on Facebook. Which, I know everyone has their own struggles and you can’t ever know their journey, but it really stings. I don’t know why i assumed it would be easier to conceive after having your first.

So while I have been trying to work on my attitude towards other people and their circumstances (that I cannot control... and to which they honestly don’t effect me), I have been trying to just savor this stage with my daughter. I know the circumstances for this Easter were probably hard for most, but i tried to be positive about it. Then this happened 😑 (my comments are the red blacked out comments). Excuse a few typos on my end. I was trying to cook dinner and keep myself together.

I’ve just been in a funk ever since that exchange. I know she couldn’t have known what I’m going through, but I’m a little shocked she didn’t lay off it.

Why is this so hard 😞

*edit*

This person was trying to stir the pot. Pretty sure most people realized I meant ‘all to herself’ because most people get together on Easter and do egg hunts with multiple kids. Also, it is always tasteless to hint about potential pregnancies... and then NOT drop it.
