If you're going shopping for baby stuff, you'll probably notice flyers for new/expectant moms groups. And maybe you can make a few acquaintances at the OB/GYN's office. After all, it's not like you have to give up your old friends to make a new friend or two.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167975377269696346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752784883646938689.post-89538976215543687572010-02-25T11:37:38.775-08:002010-02-25T11:37:38.775-08:00I can relate.

Severe MF, one failed fresh cycle and successful FET to have our son and a fresh cycle for this pregnancy (26 wks with our daughter.) <br /><br />IF never affected me when I was younger til I got married. When I had my baby shower I thought of my aunt and uncle and brother's Godparents, who decided not to pursue adoption and are childless. I wanted to let them know I have been there, but I know their treatments 20-30 years ago were not as advanced as today.<br /><br />IF affects us all differently, but we are truly happy to see a IRL friend or blogger friend have a successful pregnancy because it gives everyone hope and we know how hard that person has struggled. Enjoy this little one!<br /><br />KelleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752784883646938689.post-82211647283748467172010-02-25T05:53:43.659-08:002010-02-25T05:53:43.659-08:00Have you read the blog Knocked Up Knocked Down?

She's pregnant after stillbirth and miscarriage and has written about a lot of the things you are expressing.<br /><br />I can't imagine what it's like. I hope to, someday. My two cents: don't sell your friends short. They know you have struggled - especially your friend who has experienced miscarriage - and I'm sure they're happy for you.wifeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15488549394090924411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752784883646938689.post-56067266292702018922010-02-24T18:47:55.558-08:002010-02-24T18:47:55.558-08:00I understand the avoidance of the Belly and its...I understand the avoidance of the Belly and its' related conversations but this is YOUR time to take joy in YOUR miracle.

However, it would be nice to feel like other "normal" pregnant women. <br /><br />Not complaining either, but it is indeed rather lonely. Hope you find more and more comfort. I believe the people who love you and care about you are truly happy for you.CeCehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07810772967886741377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-752784883646938689.post-80108552385050885202010-02-24T17:45:40.459-08:002010-02-24T17:45:40.459-08:00That's tough. After being on both sides, you ...That's tough. After being on both sides, you definitely want to be sensitive to your friends' needs, but because they are your friends, I'm sure they want to be a part of one of the most special times of your life. And after knowing what you've been through to get here, I'm sure they'd be thrilled for you. I wouldn't make it an exclusive topic of conversation, but you may be pleasantly surprised at the response you get. And it may be bittersweet for some, but they will find out about it eventually, and their feelings about it is something you can't control. I'm sure knowing how much you care will mean a lot...good luck! And congrats!!Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00191346000697938964noreply@blogger.com
