I think its pretty normal to feel that
way...I had my hysterectomy almost 2 years
ago (when I was 24) and occasionally I
still feel the same way...Especially when
everyone around me seems to be getting
pregnant. I honestly beleive the
emptiness feeling is an emotion that never
goes away, just one you have to learn how
to deal with. With me, I just tried
focusing on other things, mostly just
about how happy I am that I have the 2
little boys I was lucky enough to have
before I couldnt.

I know that feeling only too well.
I also know how much it hurts to hear
other people say "i had my hyst but at
least I had my kids first" - my hyst was
performed while I was pregnant because my
baby ruptured my uterus.
I know you didn't mean to offend but it
still hurts.

Im really sorry to hear that...I couldnt
even begin to imagine what that must be
like for you
i was told in the middle of my first
pregnancy that neither one of us would
survive thru it...After he was born I was
told I could never have anymore, a few
years later I miscarried, then 6 years
later I had another baby...So I do
consider myself one of the lucky ones...I
was never meant or made to have babies, so
I am so very sorry for what happened to
you and your baby =`(
how long ago was that??? Have you talked
to anyone about it, like a counselor or
anything??
