Am I the only one?

Tonight I went to school and one of my classmates brought pictures of his new baby girl. I couldn't help but be jealous and mad at him. While everyone else was smile and saying congrats I had to run out of the room. Is that something normal I should get use to or was it just because it was so soon after my mc? It's the first time it's really been shoved in my face and not just some random person I saw in the store. And of course part of me is mad at myself for not being happy for him.

well firstly i have to tell you that of course its normal, but it will get easier.
I did the same thing and at one point i couldn't even hold another child.
Dont give yourself a hard time you WILL find a way to cope.
Hope you find your way of coping soon.

I think it's completely normal. Several months after my mc, I was at a family gathering when people started talking about an expectant couple -- saying how sweet and wonderful it was. I couldn't keep the tears back and had to go inside. It hurts, no question about it. But I do think it will get easier with time. Many hugs to you!

You are definitely NOT the only one. Everyone I know is pregnant so it seems. I am so happy for them and of course I wish nothing but a healthy baby, but I'm still mad and jealous I had to give birth to mine and I wasn't able to take him home with me. Today is a week exact since I had my son and it's really hard.

I think it's totally normal. A very good friend of mine just had her baby and though I'm totally happy and excited for her, part of me is definitely jealous. I'm sure it gets easier with time, but since it's only been a few weeks since the miscarriage, I'm not expecting myself to suddenly be ok around new moms, kids, etc. Give yourself some time. I'm sure eventually it won't be as hard (at least I hope). Best of luck to you and so sorry for your loss.

Normal. . .I think it gets easier. . .do not be mad at yourself. I hold my nephew (3 months old now) and when no one is watching I cry and rock him . . . I hurts to lose a baby -- so it is normal. I am so sorry for your loss. (((HUGS)))

You are not alone. It is normal and lately I feel like everyone around me is either pregnant or knows someone that is pregnant and can't wait to share the news with me. All I think about is how I should be holding my baby this week instead of wondering if I will ever have another. It does get easier with time but never completely goes away. Hugs, Angelique

I had my own angry day yesterday. They will come. It is normal. I probably would have done the same thing as you did. Right now we are still grieving and it is hard to be happy for others.
It will get easier.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
