Lean on Me by Glee

There can be so many different moments when you're feeling down or alone whilst trying to conceive (TTC), waiting to try (WTT) or whilst you're actually pregnant. If you feel like no one understands you or they don't see where you're coming from or how you truly feel, I recommend you listen to Lean on Me (the Glee version). I think I'm recommending mostly because in the TV show, it is sang to Quinn and Finn who are expecting a baby. It's a nice song choice if you want to be reminded that you're not alone and I think the lyrics make it an amazing "feel good" song (especially with the way the Glee cast sing it).

Baby Envy!

The frustrating thing about trying to conceive (TTC) or waiting to try (WTT) is that there are babies constantly thrust in our faces. Everywhere we turn, everywhere we look, there will either be a heavily pregnant woman or a gorgeous new born bambino beside us. It's heartrending knowing that you are struggling to fall pregnant yet other women seem to be able to do it effortlessly (or even by accident).

I've noticed that even TV shows are taunting me: in 90210 last year, Adrianna was pregnant and this year in Glee, Quinn has fallen pregnant. Arggh! Frustrating! Constantly seeing babies means that babies are constantly on our minds and it's difficult not to get upset by it.

To keep myself sane, I just remember that my time will soon come even if it takes forever. I am hopeful and I make the most of every cycle to maximise my chances. Although it's hard, I deal with it and you can too! The waiting, stress and anxiety will all be worth it in the end.
