[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you that aren’t one and done due to secondary infertility really don’t get it. This is more about what the friend perceives her son is losing than the friend herself. Everyone’s gotten numb to hearing these pregnancy announcements. But the guilt and fear you feel over not giving your child a sibling is worse than the pain you go through yourself. The friend obviously took a great deal of comfort in her son having another only child friend he could grow up with, and now that’s gone too. That’s so impossibly painful because it’s your child you’re letting down once again and unique to failed secondary infertility. [/quote]

Yes but OP is not under obligation to make this the focus of her pregnancy, either.  She is allowed to be happy that she is having another baby.  She does not need to send a long winded text about how upset she is about the whole situation and how much it sucks.  Her baby needs to be more important to her than her friend's child.

Same thoughts for the poster who said her daughter and her friend's daughter are BFFs and the younger sibling is on the "outside circle".  How insane to treat your new baby as this unwelcome addition because it upsets your friend.  [/quote]

Do you have reading comprehension deficiencies? She said outside circle of THAT FRIENDSHIP.[/quote]
