Monday I came in to work, suffering through another headache from ANOTHER period that had started the night before..hence..no baby this month. As soon as I get here, our secretary says "I'm going to be a grandmother!!!" Well, great. I'm thrilled. I spent the rest of the day in tears. Of course I wish the best for her daughter in law, but, my co-workers have seen me go through three years of infertility and then my miscarriage in April. I already had to work with someone who had a baby two years ago (after about 1 week of trying) and that nearly killed me. This was before my miscarriage. Now I know its going to be baby this and baby that here at work for the next nine months. We are a small office, only 6, and there will be no way of getting away from this. I know she has a right to her happiness and I don't want to be unfair but I am seriously considering looking for another job. I know this will happen in any workplace, but at least somewhere new they wouldn't know what happened to me. Please, if anyone has any suggestions, let me know. I know I can't do this, especially as it gets closer to December 9, my due date.

I understand. I work with about 6 people and one of them is due the same week I was. I have just ignored her all together but she has acted very ugly towards me. Hopefully this woman will be nicer to you. Talk to her and tell her although you wish her family nothing but happiness you still have very raw emotions and would greatly appreciate it if she refrained from baby talk around you. Good Luck!!

Good luck I know its hard. When I had my miscarriage, my boss's daughter was pregnant. So for the next few months I saw sonograms and baby booties nad now I see little pics and its soooo hard!

I think if you like your job you should really think long and hard before you quit. You can not run from pregnant people and I would hate for you to leave a good job trying to. I know that it is hard so maybe you can go to a co-worker who is a friend and let them know how your feeling and maybe they can let the others know. I am sure she is excited but she does owe you some respect esp. since your due date is fast approaching. I hope this helps.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
