I was having a pretty good day with my boyfriend and BAM there it was a reminder of everything I have lost. New neighbors have moved in across from my boyfriends apartment and I had only met the man not his g/f. So I went to take out the trash and I saw the new neighbor drive up in his car with his girlfriend and decided I'd stop and say hello. But before I could get the word out his girlfriend jumped out of the car and there it was like a huge slap in the face, her big beautiful pregnant tummy. I froze. They probably think Im crazy now, but I just didnt expect her to be pregnant. She was glowing and looked so happy. It just all seems so unfair.

I am so very sorry. I think every woman who has lost a child grapples with seeing pregnant women. I know when my sister-in-law said they were trying to have another baby, it felt like a slap in the face. Here I just lost a baby a couple of weeks ago and my SIL says, oh by the way we\'re going to try to have a baby now so there. I probably shouldn\'t be this sensitive but I just know when she\'s pregnant that it\'s going to be hard for me to see her, hard for me to be happy for her. I know three woman who are pregnant right now and I have pretty much avoided them, I don\'t know what else to do. Anyway, I feel your pain. It\'s hard to see another woman pregnant b/c it\'s a constant reminder of what you have lost. You are in my thoughts!
