Pregnancy Announcement by Collegue

[Enola41]

One of my colleagues has just announced she is pregnant. I'm genuinely happy for her but at the same time I'm in floods of tears.

I thought this would be okay if this happened but I'm not. I keep thinking how far I would be in my pregnancy.

Why is this so hard?

I'm thinking of you, and you're not alone.

I was dealing with infertility, and the number of times I cried in our work toilets or had to leave the room when a colleague talked about her pregnancy. It is so, so hard.

You're entitled to feel the pain you're feeling. All I can say is try to be gentle with yourself. Sending you love.

I am sorry a colleague at my (ex) workplace got pregnant at the very same time as me (I clocked it when she was about 7 weeks - all the signs were there!) apart from I miscarried at 6 weeks. She went on to have a healthy pregnancy and gave birth on what my estimated due date would have been (due date came and went and I still wasn’t pregnant!) the amount of times I came home from work in tears!

It is absolutely shite. I got my rainbow in the end and DD really is a miracle in my eyes! Now TTC number 2 and forgot how crap it is, I’ve just had a chemical
