Everyone is bloody pregnant!

I’d like to preface this by saying I am so lucky to have a beautiful two year old DC who I managed to conceive and carry in blissful ignorance of the issues so many women have in TTC and pregnancy.
Last year I had two MC, no apparent reason for it though the NHS have looked into it in a very limited way. I have went private, nothing major showing up there so far either. I seem to get pregnant ok, I just can’t seem to get past the 8 week mark anymore and I don’t know why. I’m feeling increasingly lacking in hope for having another and I feel so sad about it.
i knew it would be hard to see others pregnant but it seems like the whole world is, especially people who had their first the same time as me and it feels like someone is kicking me in the stomach every time I see it.
anyway, I just wanted to rant in a safe space and hopefully not offend anyone, I know I am so very lucky to have my DC. I just feel so sad every time I see it 😞

@peepsypops I know how hard this is! Especially after already having 1 with no issues. It could be a case of you’ve developed something after having that baby. I had 2 babies and then when I went to go for my third i was trying to 4 years and had 8 MC! Then I was put on Asprin and progesterone and number 3 came along! I wanted number 4 and tried for 2 years and had 4 MC whilst trying and I was taking Asprin and progesterone.. now I’m pregnant (sorry 🫣) with number 4 and I’m 10 weeks and on Asprin, fragmin and Progesterone 😂 and apparently I have APS now but I didn’t with my first 3! It’s so hard when you are TTC but don’t give up.. I’d ask for a referral to the recurrent miscarriage clinic for tests to rule everything out. 😊

@peepsypopsI completely understand ❤️ after my first easily conceived daughter I had two back to back mmcs (12 and 10 weeks) and all my close friends steadily became pregnant. I hated it (the situation, not them), I couldn't bare to see them, I even avoided them at nursery drop offs and pick ups.

I have since gone on to have my 2nd baby, so there was light at the end of the tunnel, but those months were so painful and conflicting. Rest assured what you're feeling is normal, you cannot control it, only in how you act - even if that is being honest with anyone close to you who is pregnant in how you are feeling x

While out today all I saw was newborn babies. It’s hard.
