She has never respected my privacy when I have told her things. I had told her about my pregnancy, so I had to tell her about my miscarriage. The first thing she said was, "well, you really have to watch what you eat when you are pregnant." I guess implying that my poor nutrition caused my baby not to develop. It was so hurtful that I haven't told her anything else and that was well over a year ago...<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry for your loss and I hope you get the support you need from your mother.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844319222032025685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808993482648379618.post-19735197177227357582009-01-09T00:56:00.000-05:002009-01-09T00:56:00.000-05:00I understand the conflicting feelings of having to...I understand the conflicting feelings of having told your mother. I also swore that I would not be telling my mom, but I did end up telling her about 8 months into treatments. She was really great about it. <BR/><BR/>I'm so glad that it felt great to have her support and comfort. It really is a relief to finally tell the story. You followed your instincts, and I hope that your mother continues to provide support for you.

With me, it is almost instinctual-- my mother is the first person I want to call when anything bad happens (even though I know from years of experience that she is not very comforting to me in these moments). I also think there is something about experiencing a m/s that makes you want to be seen-- that makes you want your loss to be visible.<BR/><BR/>It was brave of you to open up to her, and regardless of the ultimate consequences, you made the right decision for you, and that is what is most important.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808993482648379618.post-79643947236691045092009-01-06T08:50:00.000-05:002009-01-06T08:50:00.000-05:00I am happy to hear you had a positive sharing expe...I am happy to hear you had a positive sharing experience with your mom. I know that my mom has been a huge support system for me as we have dealt with infertility and I continue to lean on her. It is important to me to include her because it is so important for people to learn and understand IF, not just be ignorant about it. For me, that starts with my mother. Knowledge is power, and there should be NO shame in our experience. <BR/><BR/>My mom and I do have boundaries--I share only what and when I want and she can ask questions about IF and the process when she wants. I try to just give her the general info unless I want her to know specific to us. It seems to be a good system.<BR/><BR/>Good luck to you!<BR/>~nicoleNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929532974271442167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808993482648379618.post-14825911033572661462009-01-05T20:05:00.000-05:002009-01-05T20:05:00.000-05:00i haven't told my family anything about our fertil...i haven't told my family anything about our fertility journey. my dad is too much of a worrier (that's where i get my own worrying from)and i'm not sure i could handle the endless inquiries. that being said, i have been on the brink of sharing many times-- families often bring the unconditional support one needs, especially when on a the reproductive roller coaster. i'm glad you were able to tell your mom and hope that this brings you another listening ear, comfort, and support.bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00744501322890844914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808993482648379618.post-66029074009760943402009-01-04T22:54:00.000-05:002009-01-04T22:54:00.000-05:00I hope that sharing with your mother brings only g...I hope that sharing with your mother brings only good things.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes it just feels so much better to get it out.

Especially during the miscarriage, I have missed her a lot. I really miss the support that I would get from her if she knows but I am just scared that it might only end up hurting her more and cause her to worry abt me.

Something compelled you to put your story out there - and I'm glad that so far she's responded in supportive and appropriate ways. <BR/><BR/>It's such a rock and a hard place to so need the support of others around us but be so vulnerable to the imperfect responses that they are likely to give.<BR/><BR/>MoMohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671855540466269330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808993482648379618.post-91900990952566440852009-01-04T00:04:00.000-05:002009-01-04T00:04:00.000-05:00I know just how you feel.

We are fairly close and I know she means well but when I try to open up to her she says all the wrong things. I know it my heart it is completely unintentional but it doesn't make it hurt any less. For some reason, since she is my mother, I feel like she should ~know~ what I need to hear but she never does.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11509124764568535676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808993482648379618.post-51754128684903105652009-01-03T22:53:00.000-05:002009-01-03T22:53:00.000-05:00i had a very similar experience with my mother. w...i had a very similar experience with my mother. we hadn't told her anything about ttc over the past 2 years. after my m/c though, i exploded into a mess of tears and told her everything. i'm glad i did, it's better not to have that secret. <BR/><BR/>i hope your mother comes through for you and continues to offer you the support you need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
