Does anyone else feel a bit sad when...

[genkigemini]

Does anyone feel a bit sad when all the other board ladies get there 's and then we lose track of them?

I feel like I hardly speak to the friends I made when I joined the board in January because they have moved on and are in their late 2nd trimester now and we hardly have any contact. Being still stuck in the TTC section sucks and yeah, maybe we do not understand the preggo stuff completely but it still stinks.

Am I the only one who thinks about this? (Or am I the only one who lost track of people? LOL)

You're not on your own GG. I haven't been in the BFP section for a while and when I looked this morning I saw all these announcements and I didn't recognise any of the names. I only left messages for a couple and then got depressed cos it wasn't me. I much prefer to come into this forum now. I don't always post but I like to keep up with how everyone's doing.

- hope you feel a bit better soon.

oh sweetie ...i know what you mean but i do think the ladies still think of us but they have so much to take care on their side /doc/scan etc...i think they are less in generally on the forum not just ttc section...
i think We are here daily because we need so much moral support on our side ...

And yeah I know what you mean, I feel I have lost a few buddies to 1st/2nd and even 3rd Trimester, but I do see their posts still encouraging us here, which is always good to see

Awwwww massive to all you ladies!!!!

This thread made me real sad I've never actually used the TTC section but this has made me want to pop over here from now on & see how you're all doing!!

I can't wait for all your announcements soon (I know it's gonna happen )

Yep.... most of the ladies that joined around the time I did have LOs now

 

[NeyNey]

Yeah it is. - I have kept track with a few, and a few have me on facebook so I can still see whats happening in their lives, but you're right - it does feel sad to be left behind....(or in my case to be pulled back into TTC). Although you girls are great, and I've met new friends along the way in TTC. I try not to dwell too much on the fact I'm still here, and enjoy sticking close to those I love here

 

[genkigemini]

I totally agree Ney Ney. It is really nice to get to know and love the people who are going through what you are.

 

[Mendy]

I agree with you Miel and Neyney.

We are on here more often for moral support, and we should enjoy being in each other's company while it lasts, because I'm hoping little by little, we will all be meeting over at the first tri forum to share our pregnancy experiences!!!

i know what you mean....i feel as if i'm being left behind......

one of my original buddys got her bfp just a week before me.....i sadly had a mc and she is now in the third trimester....

i am really happy for her, though i am often sad and envious....

fingers crossed that everyone gets their bfps soon......

 

[jacky24]

I know what you girls mean, my first friend on BNb was also TTC after a loss and she is now going onto maternity leave in 3weeks......

So i know how you all feel, and so many girls when i just got here have babies already

Our time will come i know it.

 

[Arcanegirl]

I feel the same. I have friends who went through ttc, pg and even have lo's now but the ones sho still keep in contact i dont feel jealous of. i know their journeys and what theyve been through.

 

[hopeful4baby]

Few months back I would feel envious and very sad when I saw some ladies in BFP section I talked to before, but now I'm looking at it differently. It fills me with hope. If it happened to me, it has to happen to me too. )

 

[CurlySue]

Sometimes I feel this way. You give people support for the time that they need it and the minute they no longer need it they disappear, never to be heard from again. Like we have served a purpose and are no longer on their wavelength.

I realise that is not how it is but, sometimes it feels that way.

 

[Helen_26]

Yeah I think we all feel a bit like that from time to time, but I have met so many wonderful women on here who have given me so much invaluable advice. For that I will be eternaly grateful.

 

[Loula]

On this board am still kind of new, but on my other board which I no longer use the TTC bit on - there are people who I started out with who are on their second child now it's hard to not lose contact, I suppose it's hard for them too as they might not want to be "rubbing your nose in it" all the while.

I saw/see some about on the general boards on my other forum but that's all now. It is kinda sad, and also sad knowing that when I eventually am in their position, there will be people left behind feeling the same, despite our best intentions.

I think it's just natural progression. We all have friends who help us through different stages of our life and sometimes we take them with us, sometimes we leave them behind.

 

[Carley]

I'm always popping in wishing every one luck and offering my support and advice...

Maybe some of the pregnant ladies don't want to rub it in your face. I know I feel like that sometimes.
