Anyone else struggling with more royal baby news?

[yorkiebilb]

Sorry for the moaning message just wondering if anyone else is struggling to conceive and feels depressed by yet another royal pg announcement?!

I had a mmc in Dec and been struggling ever since. I knew this week was going to be tough as my due date was the same as Kate Middleton's but this new pg announcement has really hit me hard.

Please please feel free to have a moan and make feel like I'm not a sad/over-emotional idiot!!!

I've been at it for 22 months Barking and I feel pretty much the same. I haven't had a miscarriage or anything and I can't imagine how awful that must feel, but I do still get the 'why not me?' feeling every few weeks. They are irrational thoughts IMO, but I also think it's normal to have them. It's healthy not to bottle up your emotions and feelings of inadequacy when your body doesn't do what it is supposed to; it's only when you become consumed by such feelings that it can be unhealthy. Each month of not conceiving is a small loss and over time that can take its toll. I think you need to have these feelings to enable you to get angry, sad, whatever and then hopefully move forward, although I know that's easier said than done.

Hey bunny and barking hope you're both okay. I abandoned the berry thread for a bit to try and have a bit of a break from obsessing over ttc. Not that it worked hence me starting this thread!

Kitty Agree I know nothing about a women's previous ttc history when I see her bump in the street or reported in the news but ttc emotions and constant disappointment blocks any kind of rational thoughts in that situation.

Come back to the berries yorkie! I keep telling myself a break will stop me obsessing, but then I get upset when I see the two bumps in our group of friends, and next door's bump, all three of which are now huge, and over the next couple of months they'll all have babies . It's times like that I need to remind myself that there are other people that are in the same situation and feel the same!!

Im only at the start of ttc no kids of my own have a step-son and his mother is pg again with her new partner, every week I get new scan pictures on my facebook, and I like seeing them but I am also very jealous and Im new to it all god knows what I will be like in 6 months 12 months who knows really. I like the royal family but it is all just easy peasy and reading peoples experiences on here makes me feel for everyone who struggles and have had bad experiences it should be equal all round bloody nature.

Come back yorkie!!!!!

We could come here for a bit of support the day we get the royal news, and then when we hear the news (wherever we are), and our hearts break just a little bit, we can think of each other here, and know that whenever we get the chance we can log in and get some cheering up.

I'd like to advance order for my royal log in: some cheesy cheery music to block out the royal news media fest; some cake (I love cake), perhaps a new Harry Potter (yes I know that'll never happen, but let's imagine no.8 will be released that day); and a new dress that makes me feel like a goddess when I wear it.

[Bunnygirlie]

Excellent idea tea I'll bring the cake!

[katydid02]

Just saw this thread and wanted to send un-Mumsnetty hugs to you all. I've been where you are and I know it's horrible, so hugs, and for you all, and lovely to dunk in your [brew

[Bunnygirlie]

Thanks katy

[yorkiebilb]

Thanks bunny and barking I prob will. You berries are all so lovely. thunder sent me a message the other day checking on me.

What a lovely idea tea I think I will bring some booze and chocolate to the party. What does everyone drink?!

Thanks for your post katy

[Bunnygirlie]

Pink fizz for me please

[TeaAndANatter]

Um (laughing at predictability of it), I really just drink tea (other than juice and water, I mean). How dull! Let me try a mocktail peach bellini - I think you make it with white sparkling grape juice and peach juice (yum!).

No news has come to me yet, but I'm not going looking for it either x

[yorkiebilb]

mocktail on the order list tea!

Anyone else's work running a royal baby name sweepstake or is it just my office wanting to rub salt into the wound a little more?!

[Vikkijayne2507]

really a sweepstake for the name thats a bit extreme if it was a bump in the office I would understand. Weve just had 3 women in the floor of my officer go on maternity. I had a feel of one of the bumps ive never done it before the most bizarre feelings felt a foot it made me so much more broody tho.

[TeaAndANatter]

Ow. Ow, ow, ow. Thinking of all our peers in the royal baby and miscarriage threads who dreaded this being the news everywhere.

[GladitsnotJustMe]

I could never understand why people would get upset by royal baby news... but then this morning, watching the news I just burst into uncontrollable tears.

I've only been trying for a few months, but DP has potential fertility issues which we have been dealing with for over a year, so I don't think it will be plain sailing for us and we have endured a lot of heartbreak to get to this point.

Thinking about the excitement, and how content and happy the new family are... well I'm just plain envious. Can't stop watching the news, and I'm really happy for them, but I know it will be difficult when they emerge on that front step.

There I said it, Feel better now!

Hugs to everyone on this thread, be strong xx

[DizzyPurple]

Yes, overload yesterday. I had to avoid it as having bad day anyway. Almost everything on Facebook for several hours mentioned it too. Even Slimming World had to get in there with a congratulations. Peppa Pig world "Will they call it George?" And lots more..

Really pleased for them all seems to have gone well but the obsession of the world when I'm feeling grumpy about it all...

So hugs all round! Or did someone mention fizzy pink stuff?? Not too early for that at all!
