[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My two closest friends got pregnant at the same time. The second couple announced it at a dinner we were all at. They women immediately started planning and discussing symptoms, etc. while I sat there silently staring at my soup. Of course the men at the table moved on and talked about whatever they do, but I have never stared at a cruton so hard trying not to cry. Let’s just say I didn’t keep it together on the way home.

This happened to me too.  Except it was all three of my college roommates who I am still close with.  The 3rd one had told me she wasn't going to try for awhile so I'd put her in my "safe" person file in my mind.  Then she told us all at a lunch together.  I'd geared myself up to see the other two women pregnant but figured I'd have a drinking buddy to get tipsy with.  I felt like I'd been punched in the face when the 3rd one announced.  And then I felt awful that my response to her might have been really forced.  I faked it so hard.  But I had to excuse myself and sobbed in the bathroom.  Then had to pull my shit together to go back to the table and act like nothing was wrong because I just couldn't bring myself to make her feel bad for me.  It wasn't her fault!  I was so so devastated.  Honestly, it still makes me tear up thinking about how sad I was.  And now I have two healthy children.  It was a rough time though.[/quote]
