!! i know what u mean hun xx

 

[Truffleax]

I feel the same I know 7 pregnant people on facebook its so depressing I cried earlier on xxx

 

[Mummytofour]

Oh hunni
It always seems that EVERYWHERE you turn there are pregnant women, babies or programmes on babies when u are TTC doesn't it?!

I only have friends over 50 and horsey pics on my FB so don't run the risk of being upset! I did use Bebo a few years ago, but felt like a grandma on there with all the young'uns!

Keep strong but have a good cry if you need too, it always helps me.

Huge hun. I know exactly how you feel, over the past 2 weeks I've had 5 facebook friends announce their pregnancy! Not one of them is past the 12 week satge yet either! I'm just hoping it's contagious

 

[dollydingle]

Brave aren't they to announce so soon?
I won't next time

 

[Truffleax]

They are very brave I won't next time either I think I will only share it on here as we all know how cautious we will all be *hugs* to all of you girls its good to know we are not alone in being depressed by facebook and your right about the tv programmes too! Im making a BIG effort to avoid the current one on channel 4 'one born every minute' it will either depress me or scare me to death lol

I totally know what you mean, got horrible text off a "friend" at xmas saying happy xmas from her and hubby and bump, thats how I found out she was pregnant. Some people can be horifically insensitive and I wouldn't mind but this girl had gone through a miscarraige like me and knew how totally devastated I am. Some people have such short memories. And how sick are they putting scan pics on facebook for the whole world to see! Sorry rant over, am ttc #2 after misc in nov 09. Im soooooooo fed up and sick of myself at this stage. Is anyone else trying accupuncture to boost infertiltiy??

My best friend is due any day now, and the mindee's mum is also pregnant and due in a month, so I see them regularly.

But there are 2 other friends in our group who were both due around the same time as me, and Im seeing them for the first time tonight so hope I dont end up feeling down when I leave. Im hoping to briefly say hi etc. but then sit with the other pregnant ladies who I feel more comfortable around as Im used to chatting about their bumps etc.

Its shattering. The "hide from newsfeed" option is my new best friend.

 

[T'elle]

The thing is with most people on facebook is, they aren't on places like us on bnb where they have been trying for so long, like i know friends who have told me they announce they are pregnant at like 5 weeks when they find out cos they 'know something bad wont happen'' as they dont have experiences with miscarriages etc. Not everyone is aware that not every pregnancy doesn't result in a healthy born baby sadly be strong hun, im sure our time will come soon, just not soon enough for us! xxxx

There seems to be something in the water (that I'm apparently immune to?!) Everytime I log on it seems like another friend has announced a pregnancy/birth. What's even harder is my sister has a 6 week old daughter, and even though I'm smitten with her and love my niece to bits, I can't help but be insanely jealous and utterly depressed.

 

[dollydingle]

My sister-in-law is due last week of March (2 weeks after I would have been!)

She text me today to say how fed-up with being pregnant she is!!! Back pain not sleeping etc etc...
Sorry but I don't GAF***

My mantra is.... look happy, don't cry.... look happy, don't cry.... look happy, don't cry....

... not going to work....

Hi everyone, I'm new here but I have been reading all your posts which have helped me out last month when i lost my baby at 6w5d. I totally know how you feel about facebook. A friend of the family who knew I was TTC posted that she was expecting and it was the exact same due date I would have had my baby. she then sends a private messgae saying "your next" I felt like my heart sank because she didn't know that I was preggers and lost it. It's no hard with FB.

Just want to thank everyone with the encouraging words it has helped me out reading all the post!!!
