You probably don't remember me talking about my friend

[Sonya]

But when I got pregnant she sort of abandoned me. I didn't know if she was mad about me getting PG since she didn't have any kids, or if she was trying to get PG and couldn't. You all said it was probably the latter. Well last night she called and told me she is pregnant! They had been trying to conceive for 3 years and on their last treatment the finally got their miracle. She's 14 weeks and doing well. She apologized for not being there for me but so many of her friends were getting PG that she couldn't handle it anymore. I feel better knowing this, and knowing that she is going to have a baby. So keep her in your thoughts that she might have a healthy pregnancy and baby in July.

I do remember that Sonya. I remember feeling sorry for you that your friend wasn't going to be with you during your pregnancy, but now I understand why it was so difficult for her. I'm happy to hear she's expecting and will say a prayer for a healthy baby.

I'm also happy you two have reconnected. Now you'll have LOTS in common.

I do remember your friend Sonya. I am so very happy for her... I can somewhat feel the pain she must have been going through. My best wishes are with her for a healthy pregnancy

It is a shame that your friend was not able to share your baby joy. I am sure she regrets the way she handled it. BUT I totally understand what she was feeling. It took us a long time to have our DD's (after two failed pregnancies, years of treatments, etc) and it was difficult to hear that everyone you know is pregnant (even people who didn't want to be) whie you were struggling. People can be so thoughtless, too when asking why you don't have kids yet. They don't realize how terribly painful that can be.

Take it from me ... we had DD#1 6 weeks early on 9/2/99. We had DD#2 on 8/27/00. Once my body finally figured out how to conceive, it didn't forget. DD#2 is a little Houdini - I never had a period and I was nursing - but she made her way into the world regardless. After she was born I didn't want to let my husband touch me with a 10 foot pole for fear that I would get pregnant again! Just call me Fertile Myrtle.

Hi Sonya

I also remember that thread. Well, I'm glad that things worked out for her & I can understand her frustration at the time.

My cousin (for years) worked on getting pregnant to no avail, & then again years for the adoption process to go through. It all worked out for her in the end but boy, she was a maniac when she'd find out that someone in her circle of friends was pregnant. She now looks back with regrets but I guess having not been in her shoes, I don't understand fully.

Lots of luck to your friend!

I remember that. I'm still sorry she abandoned you, but I'm happy for her and hope everything goes smoothly.

I completely feel for her and now understand where she was coming from. I hope we can be good friends again. Sam gets a new playmate!
