Too Desperate

[sazzythom]

We've been trying for another baby for about 8 months now and so far no sign of anything happening. I know i shouldn't get wound up about it but i can't help it. It seems that everyone i know are either getting pregnant or having babies. I just feel like i'm being left out. I have believed in God since a small age but recently i have felt like he isn't there. My faith in everything is growing weaker month by month. I've tried to relax but it seems to only work for a short while. I really don't want to seem ungratefull for being blessed with my DD but i've began to think thats it. I only get one miracle and i've had it. How long to i continue to wait for my period to start and then have my hopes dashed again?? I don't think it helped that my DD asked for a baby last week and didn't understand why all these other family were getting one and we wern't. It's really affecting my mood at the moment and the doctor has advised to stop trying till my mood rises but stopping seems to make me more misrable.
We've tried all the old wives tales and any other advise we can gleen off anyone.
But on the other hand i'm terrified of being pregnant again. Sounds stupid to want something so much with one hand but be scared of it on the other hand. I had such a tough ride last time but now i look at my DD and i know it was all worth it.
Sorry for my moans but i knew u'd understand

I tried for 9 months to get my first baby and can understand the frustration and upset when you convince yourself it's going to happen and then your period arrives!

You've probably heard it all before but being so stressed about it won't help.

Acupuncture is supposed to be good as is reflexology - for relaxing and fertility :-)

Hi sianyc

Thanks for the reply. How did u feel with it taking so long to concieve?? How did u relieve ur stress? My first was unplannned so i had none of this waiting and when ever i talk to my mother she just keeps telling me none of her pregnancys were planned and i'm not really getting on with my mother in law at the moment. Obviously we're not telling anyone that we're trying so i can't talk to friends. Aggggggggrrrrrrrh it really is doing my head in!!

I know i shouldn't get stressed because that only makes me more stressed that i can't relax. My GP advised She-Oak essence which is suppossed to help but i haven't seen any difference yet.

I might look into reflexology not sure i can do the whole needle thing.
