Unhappy

Am I awful? I feel so jealous...


SOOOOO many of my friends are having babies!!!! There are 3 that are pregnant, and 4 that recently had babies.

I just went and visited one of them the other day, and she was telling me how much she loved being pregnant and how much she loves her new born son. She has no idea that I am trying, so I know it wasnt on purpose, but I felt so jealous.

I am happy for my friends dont get me wrong, but most of them wernt even trying! Some of them arnt even in the best circumstances to have babies...and yet they got them. Why is it so hard for me so far, and for so many others?


Sorry, I know how jealous and mean this sounds. I feel awful for feeling this way. All I want to do is be happy for my friends, but the jealousy keeps kicking in.

Has anyone else felt this way?

Oh YES!!! My sister in law already has a daughter and comes into MY HOUSE knowing I am TTC and then talks about who is pregnant and how for the millionth time she thinks she is late...I burst into tears because I am so jealous.

I hate being so jealous but it happens. I hate other women more sometimes.

I know that feeling. I am always jealous. I am even jealous and burst into tears when I know that someone gave birth after the my ex due date (was pregnant and miscarried)

And I am like: this should have happened to me before all of them!

Normal feeling, and u arent selfish, this feeling we just cannot control it.

Think its ok to feel envious as long you keep it under perspective. I'm sure your friends would be delighted if and when you have ababy. I have had miscs and never resented friends and family having their babies, what hurt most were those people who were not , what I thought , very good parent material. Hoping for a bfp for you all.
