Just wondering if anyone has any resentment toward other people you know that are preg in your life?

I only ask because last week a friend from work and I had lunch outside together. She looked at me and asked if I could keep a secret! I just knew it! She is 5 weeks ahead of me about (10 weeks). After getting very excited for her and congratulating her, I asked her if she could keep a secret! And she said, "oh I knew it!!!" We hugged each other and just were smiling! No one knows at work about either of us and she is going to tell our sup very soon, maybe the early part of June. I was planning on telling everyone after my first scan appt, which is end of May. They will have to deal with both of us HA!

I thought I would be resentful but I am 100% super excited for her and so happy that I get someone to experience this with. We are pretty good friends, and I just think about our kids playing together while we hang out.

Not at all, my husband's cousin's wife is pregnant and due a week and a half ahead of me and I'm thrilled for her!

Na it's cool to know other pregnant women who are maybe going through the same things as me.

I was ... i wouldn't say resentful ... concerned, when I told one of my BF's the other day, she's 5 years younger than me and got married in Feb and has been broody since I've known her. She told me she was so jealous and pouted at her OH because they've decided to wait; as they both ski, a lot of their social life involved drinking and it would mess up their holiday scuedual.

I told her i was very jealous of her, as she had this big fancy wedding and we're going to have to wait a few more years till we can afford that sort of thing with the baby on the way. Which cheered her up

She kept going on about what theme she was going to have in her nursery, and cute outfits she was going to buy. I really wanted to tell her that it's not all like that, and for the first 3 months all your can do is worry about the health of your baby and if you are doing the right thing, and after the baby is born the worry only gets worse. And I wanted to tell her how much it will change her life, she won't be able to do a lot of the things she does on a whim now. But I didn't want to burst her bubble. I know she'll make a great mum oneday, but that there is no rush.

Mmmmm. Not resentful as such. My best friend "spontaniously" ended up pregnant 2.5 weeks after I told her. We had always joked that it would be crazy if we ended up pregnant at the same time. While I'm glad to have her pregnant with me and have someone to go through it with me, I can't help but wonder if she would have ended up pregnant if I hadn't.

I wish I had a preggie buddy you shop together n all but I have you all so Im cool...

My sis in law is due 6days after me and when she told every1 i was devesated as i really felt like my thunder had been stolen but now its the best thing ever!! We get to share stories and usually if 1 has flet a kick the other has too!! To think our little 1's could be born on the same day is very exciting!! x

A friend at work announced that she is pregnant, 2 days before I did! she announced it on the Monday, I had my scan on the Tuesday and announced mine on the Wednesday! At first, I felt she had stolen my thunder. I had waited so long to tell everyone at work.
But once we got catting about it, I realised how excited I was for her and how much fun it was going to be to share this with someone going throug exactly the same thing.
I don't think we can ever predict how will feel about unexpected announcements.

im a bit jealous of one of the girls at work as everyone seems to give her special treatment and expect me to carry on as normal for some reason. I.e. she had to move a shelf and people offered to move it for her but i had to move a heavy flanker and like a ton of boxes and noone offered to help in any way even though i hinted like "ooo that flanker will be heavy" or "ive been a bit concerned about lifting recently" noone even offered to help infact one girl even said "its not in my job description to carry that" which really peed me off.
other than that no. my auntie has just got a healthy baby boy my cousin will be induced on monday should her baby not arrive sooner and then i get to annouce my bubbah hopefully after my scan. I want to wait until my cousin has had her baby so i dont like steal her thunder kind of a thing. my family wont belive it at all when i annouce it im so excited hehehe i want the scan in hand when i shae the news too so i can say looky look!

Not now but when I was TTC. I found out a friend is 8 weeks behind me and I'm happy for her!

When we were WTT, a close friend of mine was pregnant. She had a really rough time during the labour and I went to see her in hospital. I had to leave after a while, as whenever she had a contraction, I felt the most amazing feelings of jealousy. They were so bad that they hurt and I cried all the way home. I felt like such a cow for not supporting my friend (her husband was with her - it was just a visit on my part!)
It's amazing how these overwhelming feelings hit us - usually quite unexpectedly.
