Facebook rant...

Dear Facebook Friends...

Please stop posting your happy BFP news, your scans of your growing and healthy baby, your complaints about morning sickness and pics of the progress of your belly bump. I know you are all very happy and joyful and I wish I could be there with you and be just the same but I can't. Sorry but I'm in a really bad mood and sad because I lost my little one recently. Every bit of happy baby news just stings me like rubbing salt in a wound. Let's keep babies off of facebook for a bit PLEASE!

Thanks so much, Grandbleu

Sorry but I just can't go on there anymore...too much happy news...just got my period I think I'm just emotional and every time I get my period now it just hits me even more that I am most definitely NOT pregnant and NOT getting pregnant. I can't wait for my period to be over...

You poor thing. I know what you mean, my sil has just announced her pregnancy and everytime she posts anything it feels like a knife. Xxx

 

[grandbleu]

So sorry for your loss as well hon...

I just feel like I'm being bombarded by baby news everywhere...I guess I'm just a bit sensitive to it as we all are.

I know that feeling! Facebook is the root of all evil when it comes to this.
Im sorry AF arrived in the end.

Another woman at work announced she was pregnant. Although how she kept it quiet I don’t know I knew the moment I saw her (I only met her today) And I was put through buying another woman’s leaving present, she is going on maternity leave so I spent my lunch in next choosing baby clothes with another colleague Torture!

if i were you i'd block the people's posts from appearing in my newsfeed...that way baby-related posts aren't bombarding you. if you feel like checking on a person's statuses you can just go to their wall to catch up, but you'd never have to see it popping up in your newsfeed!

Good idea - I hadn't thought of that.

URGH!! my facebook is the same i have 4 girls JUST had babies so its all posts of "why wont you sleep thur the night your taking the piss right now" & "wish i could go out this weekend" and that infuriates me!
I also have 1 girl about to drop and 3 other pregnant flashing their scans!!

I just personally stay off the homepage because i can see myself saying something i regret

Yesterday after the op i have never felt so trap in a elevator before never suffered with bad claustrophobia but when i pressed the button to go down then the doors opened again and a young couple got it with a new born fresh off the ward in tow cooing at the little girl saying things like "your first elevator ride lots more to come" i wanted to claw the walls and was the longest ride ever!!

It's so hard not to feel this way. I try to remember how much love I feel for the people making these posts and how happy they will be for me me if I ever get to that point again. I suppose after 2 years it's not as raw for me as it is for some of you and I had a realisation that these awful feelings I had about others and their babies were eating me up and was one of the few things I could control in this whole miserable thing. I still get angry when people are being directly insensitive, but I try to share the joy that a baby brings to others - besides you might not always know how hard it was for them to get there - the couple in the lift may have lost babies or being trying for ages and then finally got their sucess. Sorry it sounds like I'm preaching which isn't what I mean to do, I just think it's good for us to be at peace with ourselves even though it' so hard!

i didnt feel anger towards them i just found it hard because i had just come out of having a D&C i just find it hard to read sometimes on FB.

My cousin is 13weeks pregnant and i couldnt be happy for her she is due 3 weeks before my baby would of been due and i will be there when she has the baby and after.

I don't feel anger at the person directly either...more just the situation I find myself in...them all blissful and pregnant and me on the dark side...sad and unpregnant. It's the contrast I have a problem with.

Sam- I totally get having a family member pregnant. I have a twin sister who is pregnant (our babies we're going to be 3 months apart - we were so excited). I'm so happy for her she had a long TTC journey but I do naturally feel really jealous and upset. I find it hard to talk with her because obviously now she's in the third trimester and I'm back at NOWHERE! So unfair...Facebook I can avoid but you can't avoid family. I'm excited to be an Aunt but I want to be a Mom even more.

This could have been something I wrote, and pretty much did about a month ago. I wanted to scream at my friend for posting stuff all the time. i remember the first time the scan pictures hit the screen... i almost threw up.

ive been really awesome lately, enjoying life etc. then yesterday my DH's co-worker, a mutual friend told him she was pregnant. i started crying. havent cried in at least a month.

I wish i could write a letter to my emotions to leave me alone...
