I don't know how old you are, but in my experience doctors don't take kindly to older women and pregnancy. I was pregnant with my third child at the age of 41, a baby I so sadly lost, but the doctors I saw were anything but supportive. They kept saying, 'Well, at your age...'

I couldn't help but think in my mind, compare how people treat an older man who fathers a child as opposed to an older woman who is pregnant. For an older man it's a slap on the back and a 'Good goin', Pops! You still got it!' - whereas for a woman it's a snarky look and nasty attitude.

Anyway, I'm so sorry that you've never had children. Are you in your 30's? 40's? Is the problem an inability to conceive?

A lot of people say a lot of stupid, thoughtless things, even with good intention. I know it's very difficult, but maybe you can work on not personalizing what people say as taking it all in will only deepen your depression.
