my brother just called to tell me that my 17 year old neice Brittany is pregnant and now this means i'm going to be a Great Aunt- so one more thing to remind me that i'm getting older and i'm still childless... i have to admit - i'm very bitter over this- especially knowing my oldest brother is gonna be a grandpa and he will never see the kid..... then my step neice just told everyone she might be pregnant to- which is this same brothers step daughter.... so double whammy for the family for the week and she is 16 .... or 17 also.... woo hoo- so these teens are pregnant and i'm gonna be half of 50 this year- thats right- 25 and still no baby for Brandi ! someone shoot me in the head...... shoot me in the head now... Great Aunt B- feel sorry for her- she has no children and never will.... i am happy , scared and jealous of them in some way.... although i want to feel bad for them- i know there are way too many forms of birth control out these days to say they didn't know how to stop it from happening... yes i am bitter that i'm childless- can u tell? everyone around me are having babies and i want to be a mother so bad- i just don't see it happening for me.... i'm a ugly loser who nobody wants to make a baby with and my body won't get pregnant- or ok i'm assumming..... :( very very depressed now- very............................... do u know how it feels to be surrounded by children and yet none of them are ur own- that really blows.... :(
Have you beeb trying? Remember it takes even healthy couples up to a year to conceive. Also, don't put yourself down, negative thinking and thoughts has never helped anyone at all, and it won't help you to feel better either.
You should try not to envy your neice and step neice, they have a hard road ahead of them...having a baby is not easy, especially when you are 16 or 17 years old. But, try not to compare yourself to others, one day you will have a baby...you have to believe that and you need to focus on you.
Brandi, last April I was pregnant and my water broke prematurely, I ended up lossing my baby son. At the same time a good friend of mine was expecting she gave birth 2 wks after I had my baby. It was such a hard time for me, but her baby had nothing to do with mine...do you understand what I mean?
Also, my husbands cousin had a baby and would come to visit us with the baby. I told myself that despite the pain in my heart for my baby, I would try again! I had fallen down, but I was determined to get back up and stay positive, and that is exactly what I did.
We tried again and I am 8 mths pregnant right now. If I had been bitter that my friends baby was alive and well and mine wasn't I would have set myself back. I say focus on you!
In life we fall down sometimes, we get down sometimes, you are doing the right thing by expressing your feelings...but try to think positive, and don't put yourself down...good luck sweetie.
