Rules of ettiquette for telling someone you are pregnant, especially if the person you are telling has been trying to get pregnant unsuccessfully for at least 10 months:
do NOT leave a message on their answering machine w/ your GREAT news
do NOT blurt it out as they are walking out the door
do NOT get mad when the receipient of the news cries
DO be considerate
BE understanding
I say this because I am sick of being hurt and guilty about my feelings when others could have been considerate when sharing their GREAT news. We are a few days from knowing if we successfully got pregnant this month and believe me I will keep these rules in mind when I tell others, so do the same! And if I’m not around for a few days dont ask how I am or if we are pregnant or I will kill you!!! Seriously. These better be pregnancy hormones talking or …or….we wont be able to get pregnant for a few months.
My dr ordered us to stop trying to get pregnant if we are not pregnant this month and to wait a few months to make sure my psuedo tumor isnt back and to go back on treatment for it. I’ve been medicine free for the 10 months we’ve been trying to get pregnant. if we arent pregnant this month I go back on drugs and for more appointments. if I am pregnant we know why I am sick, mostly. but theres still a lot we dont know about my condition and pregnancy, so it’s still more doctors appts if I am preggo. Pray for peace for me as we wait for answers. and so I dont lose my mind w/ all these pregnant people invading my life w/ their unwanted/unplanned pregnancies. I know it’s harsh but it hurts like hell to see all these things going on around me and to not question God.
Hope I dont affend anyone, but I’m a woman who cant get pregnant, and dont want to hear you say, oh everytime we get pregnant we didnt mean to, or all we have to do is look at one another to get pregnant, I’d rather you just shut up and go away than to break my heart more.
Lifes unfair.
Sorry I whined so much but I had to say something or I’d just have to make Dean bear all the burden of my pain, and that’s no fun for him alone, so i’d like to share my misery w/ you, as I know you have nothing better to do, or you wouldnt be reading my blog!!
