[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, OP. My sister shared her morning sickness misery with me for weeks after I miscarried my first pregnancy. Perhaps she thought that would somehow make me feel better? Like “look on the bright side, at least you aren’t sick as a dog like me!” I wanted to slap her. I have a child now and know first hand how miserable she felt but really, like PP said, I was not her audience. Lots of hugs and be good to yourself. When that baby is a little older and knows and loves on you this will all be a blip. [/quote]

I want to very gently say this isn’t fair. For some women who suffer from HG, the sickness is literally unbearable. My HG was so bad that I became suicidal. It was the darkest time in my life. If I had shared this with a friend who was struggling with infertility, whether I knew about their infertility or not, or would have been a cry, plead for some sort of companionship and soothing from a friend. Please, I say this with utmost intention of empathy, understand that some women aren’t just “complaining” about their morning sickness. They may be in a place that’s on the boundary of life or death.

PP and yes I totally get this. I had 2 friends hospitalized and felt terribly for them. She wasn’t one of them though. Just run of the mill morning sickness, same as I had later down the road. And I STILL would not have said anything about it to a suffering friend. [/quote]

I’m so sorry for your loss, PP. I hope you’ve also been/will be able to create the beautiful family you desire. Lots of love. [/quote]
