All I want is a baby of my own. It's so overwhelming.

I’m so sorry you don’t have a baby of your own, do you want to talk about it?

ShieldNumber · 06/03/2020 20:54

I do and I don't. Talking doesn't seem to fix anything. My friends all have babies of their own and I feel so awkward burdening them with jealousy.

Is it situational or biological, if you don’t mind me asking?

It's so hard, isn't it? I'm happy for family and friends who announce their pregnancies and I don't want to make it about me, but it does remind you of what is missing from your own life with each announcement.
One good thing about internet forums is you can anonymously say those things which you feel you can't say to your friends who have children x

Situational but I've no doubt that it will probably be biological too, with my shitty luck.

I appreciate the understanding Flowers

I’m sorry Op. I hope it works out for you one day xx

I'm sorry, OP.

You mentioned it's situational, not biological. Do you want to talk about it?

I don't know how old you are or what your circumstances are, but is going it alone an option for you? It's nice to have a partner but it's not strictly necessary.

I have been there OP. Mine was situational too and it's very lonely place to be and many people do not understand it. It's a double whammy of no partner and no baby.

I chose to go ahead alone, better than no baby at all, but i still sometimes feel sad I wasn't able to have a traditional family in a natural way. I know it's not for everyone but happy to chat more about it if you want to.
