TTC and pregnant colleagues

[OneBluePanda]

I’m looking for some advice and reassurance from someone else who has been through, or going through the TTC journey.
I’ve been TTC for 15 months, with absolutely no luck, during this time 3 of my colleagues (in a small team) have got pregnant and had healthy babies. Now they are all on maternity leave I’m coping better but it’s been rough.
In a few weeks I’m going to the wedding of another colleague and the only people I will know there are the three new mums. Am I being ridiculous that this is going to painful and upsetting?? Not sure how to manage people just talking about babies for a whole day.
any words of kindness would be appreciated.

It’s so difficult @OneBluePanda ive also been TTC for 15 months, and had 2 miscarriages in that time.
2 weeks after my first MC, a colleague passed me her scan photo to look at, and I spent months avoiding her when pregnancy chat came up.
You aren’t alone, I totally get how you feel. It’s hard to avoid at a wedding, but if it were me I would try remove myself from the situation when it’s intense, and go and get a drink or nip to the toilet. I find avoidance the best technique!

I'm the same to be honest, one MMC and a Chemical in 15 months (albeit that the MMC situation was 5 months from start to finish) so I also get exactly where you are coming from. Totally agree with Figtree11 about avoidance.
I'm going to be honest here and say I probably wouldn't go. I know it sounds terrible but I would either pretend to be I'll or tell your colleague that a close relative is on business here and you havent seen them for I years or similar.
I know that sounds awful but I couldn't cope with it. Think I would just end up in a sobbing heap.

Thanks much for your advice. It’s such a difficult thing to have to deal with - happy to go to a wedding for your friend. And happy for everyone who is able to have a baby but absolutely heart broken for yourself.

I will definitely avoid and make excuses.

Spot in OneBluePanda, we need some inner peace and deserve to have some mental calm x

Absolutely.
