When is it my turn…

Question

My best friend gave birth yesterday to her rainbow baby! I’m so happy and excited for her to start a new journey but I’m having a hard time feeling sorry for myself. I feel so selfish. I’m a horrible best friend. She deserves to be a mother, she deserves this baby. I’ve been trying for 5 years and it just seems so hopeless at this point. All I can think is when is it my turn. When does that get to be me…WILL IT EVER BE ME?!

Answer

You are not alone, I found out I was pregnant in December and my sister was a couple weeks ahead of me. When I announced that I was pregnant she said out loud not once but at least twice that she wishes she could be pregnant by herself for once (she has two kids and during both pregnancies she was pregnant with someone else). At the time it hurt me with what she said but not to bad. Then come the end of January I lost my sweet baby. I am upset over what my sister said and I have a hard time with the what if. We would have been 10 weeks apart. Now because I won’t talk to my sister do to the pain my mother is making me and her have a sit down even though I am not ready.

Answer

I understand your feelings and you’re not alone. It’s very hard to watch other people having a baby when it takes so long to have your own. We’ve been trying for our second over two years now. We got pregnant in October but lost the baby at 11 weeks. The same month my brother’s wife got pregnant too just by accident because they already had a baby 7 months earlier. It wasn’t planned, they weren’t very happy about it but here we go. She’s due in June and we should be in the same place. But we had to lost our pregnancy. I’m feeling jealous and can’t really watch their pregnancy pictures because it causes lots of pain. I think how would it be now, if was still pregnant…

Answer
