Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi all,

Dont know how do i put it in words what/how do i feel when am in a social gathering with ladies who have kids and they keep talking about their kids e.g how their kid plays pranks,studies,eats,etc and their topic of discussion is just kids and everything related to kid only.At times i feel so awkward since i dont have a kis myself. i am left speechless,have nothing to contribute :( it hurts at times.Am sure many of others might have been thru this situation.can anybody please suggest what shud one/i behave like in situations like this.i know i shud be quite and thsts what i do mostly.but it hurts not having kid.cause i love kids.i had stopped attending social gatherings like this for the same reason.i want to know how can i cope up with like this situations.thnx. dr.trupti.patel replied. hi.....
i am also childless as of now....ttc...i can understand how you must be feeling left out...maybe a little jealous and bad about yourself...at times what others will think about your childless status may also be bothering you....just remember not being a mother \" YET\" doesnt make you any less worthy...so dont feel bad about it....remember.\" people who mind dont matter and people who matter dont mind\" ...if your friends are not undersatnding how they should tone down thier motherhood talks in front of you then you might as well avoid them but if they are really your friends then open up to them and share your feelings ...see it will make you feel better...a women can only really understand anotehr women..
join a infertility support group. Renu replied. Hey it is quite understandable , Really it is pain to go thrg all these. But one thing would help you , you be bold and accept the fact and social things around you. Dropping such gatherings might affect you more.
It is quite natural that mothers wont be having any other topic than their kid . It is easy to tell , but I feel you should not feel complexity for not involving in their discussion . you dont have kid , It is nothing sin or wrong you have done. I know i might not understand the complete feelings you r going thr. But really i feel you take it easy as if nothing great is going around u and if you feel like talking about kids , you talk nothing wrong in that. But dont loose ur heart.
Only hope can get u everything in life
