A friend of mine's wife announced on Facebook last night that she is pregnant. It made me feel miserable. I am happy for them on some level, but it just makes me so sad for myself. I suppose it's selfish of me to think that people (friends?) who know what I've been through should somehow apply some restraint to their announcements of such news. When I hear that someone is pregnant, I don't think, "congratuations", I think, "good luck". But as I read somewhere else, I've taken the statistical bullet for everyone I know IRL. So I'm sure that everything will be perfectly fine for her. Why shouldn't it be?
I hate myself for feeling this way.

I know how you feel about the announcement though. It does not make you a jerk, it is hard,a nd from reading some oif your other posts, it has not been easy for you.
On the other hand, losing my son at birth (after), I would say "Good luck" to anyone...there are no gurantees and that sucks too.
I am sorry that it has been so rough for you and your hubby. I pray you will have your baby soon.
