Difficult lunch

| I miscarried my first pregnancy in December (would have been 13 weeks about now), and was pretty sad, but am doing more or less ok. I met an out of town friend for lunch today who told me that she's expecting --- and is just about exactly as far along as I would have been, and within a week of the same due date. I'm very happy for her, but it was still a rough lunch. It was neither the time or place to tell her about my own experience, but I thought I would say something here, in the lovely privacy of the internet. Best wishes for all of us in 2013. |

I am sorry OP. Dont worry, its hard but your time will come.
My friend had a miscarriage with her first right after announcing it, and then within a few months after she was pregnant and now was a 6 month old adorable baby. I will be jumping into the TTC wagon soon so positive thoughts coming to you and me

| I'm sorry to hear this. That's one of the really hard things about ttc. You're just so surrounded by other people's fertility. |

Yup. Not a day goes by without a pregnancy announcement from someone (fb or celebrity). Sorry for your loss and best wishes. |

| I am sorry for your loss. I would have been about as far along as you, as well, but I miscarried in December too. Maybe 2013 will be the year for us! |

| So sorry OP! This happened to me three times! Once with my sil and twice with very good friends! All three times I kept my mouth shut but as soon as I got to the car....ugh I let it out! But my time did come and I love all three of those kiddos (and of course my own)!!!!! |

| AW crap, OP that blows. My friend is due one month behind when I would have been due this winter. I've had to hide her from my FB feed b/c everything is about her being pregnant. |

| I have actually been debating whether to vent about something just like this! So very sorry, OP. Just know that you are not alone. My situation is slightly different, as I am struggling with secondary infertility (which included a MC about two years ago). I am also a supervisor of about 18 people, 7 of whom are either currently pregnant or have had babies in the last 18 months. So, at the moment, I am surrounded all day every day by pregnant women and people with tiny babies. I am genuinely happy for each of them. But there is no getting around the fact that it sucks for me. Hang in there, OP -- |

| It's unfair sometimes. Keep reaching out if you feel the need. We don't know you but a lot of us really do care! |

| Sending LOTS of good thoughts your way. I know exactly how you feel. I miscarried in December, and it's so hard to hear about friends who are as far along as I would have been. It's just so conflicting--- to be so happy for people you love, but for the wound to be opened all over again. Here's wishing you all good things in 2013, and that your pain will abate a bit each day. |
