[quote=Anonymous]Oh, OP. I could've written your post, except that I'm TTC #2 at 37. I just wasn't ready until my DC was 2, for a variety of reasons. On most days, I start to question whether we waited too long to try for #2. What has helped me is writing all of my feelings down so that they're not swirling in my head constantly. I also had to force myself to answer the "what-if" questions and once I finally did, I felt better.  What if I can't have another baby? What if my child never has a sibling? what if...? It forced me to put things in perspective and appreciate what I do have, and I try to remember this when my mind starts to go down that dark path again. I'm still sad at possibly not having another child, of course, but I can't change the past. And while it's hard to see pregnant women (I swear they are everywhere!) and tiny babies, I remind myself that that woman may have gone through a lot for that pregnancy or child, and it helps me to feel less jealous. GL on your journey. [/quote]
