Does anyone else feel like you can't go anywhere without a pregnant woman or a newborn being in your direct line of sight? My husband and I are trying desperately to conceive again, and it feels like I'm the only woman in my town that is not pregnant. That doesn't even include the friends I have that are pregnant and either feel guilty and avoid me or make me feel guilty because my situation is their worst nightmare. I feel like a permanent black cloud is over my head; I am a social phriah.

Oh my...how I totally agree! Everywhere I go, there are pregnant people by the dozens! It's amazing after we miscarry how many pregnant people pop up! Not to mention all the pregnant friends and family members! I miscarried about 12 weeks ago and have had several friends tell me they are pregnant now! I do my best to be happy for them, but there's only so much we can do! UGH!

I agree with you so much. After i lost my natally, everywhere i went i saw pregnant people. Its starting to die down, and i dont see too many of them anymore, probably cuz i avoid certain places now. I have so many preggo friends, its so hard to see them happy, and be happy for them. Your not alone, alot of mothers feel the way you do :) were all in this together, if u ever wanna chat im here.

I know that feeling very well. I think just about everyone on the miscarriage discussion page would resoundingly agree with you. That feeling does get better, especially after having another baby. All you can do in the meantime is try your best not to be overwhelmed by it. I think it happens to all of us.

After each one of my miscarriages, I felt the same way they pop up out of no where. By the way I love the title to your discussion. It gave me a good laugh this morning Thank You.

I totally agree- everywhere I went today I seem to run into babies, and it seems that all I want to do is hold them and caress them and tell their mom and dad to take very good care of their little angel because you never know when they will be taken away. and when I see preggo ladies, I get so sad because I know that was me not to long ago- and all I do is pray hoping that God will soon again grant my wish and bless me with another child...And I cant help but pray for those pregnant ladies hoping that no such event that has occured to us all will ever happen to them for it is such a painful journey.....Take good care all........

Your discussion topic actually made me laugh. I so agree with you. It is like they wait until your within their sights and then come running out from all angles. I got home from the hospital yesterday and our neighbour with her 18 month old was playing in our driveway. I can't turn on the tv withoust some sappy music telling me buy johnson and johnson, so I have now made it a game. For everything I see that reminds me of my baby I make myself smile and think one good thought, even if it is just I like chocolate ice cream. It seems to work. Or I have just lost my mind. Hang in there, I hear it gets better.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
