Why does the whole world seem pregnant!!!!!

Reds05 · Mar 6th, 2010, 11:19 AM

Just come back from Ikea and everyone seems to be pregnant - was absolutely surrounded by them (maybe an exaggeration but thats what it felt like)!!!!!

Also, while walking round Ikea, my brother text me to say my SIL is pregnant (she's about 5 weeks). So happy for them as they suffered a M/C last Sept. Although, at the same time, I'm a bit jealous. If AF hadn't showed up, I would have been at the same stage as her and it would have been fab to go through pregnancy together.

Hey ho! onto next cycle (and thanks for reading, its good to have somewhere to vent my feelings without any repurcussions)

Good luck everyone and lots of

I know exactly what you mean hun, whenever we go to asda or somewhere we seem to bump into them in every isle (ok maybe a little exaggerated also but it does feel this way) The girl i work with has just had a baby and also one of my close friends and whilst i am very happy for them it makes me want one even more and very jealous!!

Lots of :

: to you too hun xx

I feel the same

Ikea's going to be bad too - it's just one of those places - maybe it's the wide isles so the prams fit more easily :/ I choose to shop at non-busy times - avoid weekends - that way I can't get hemmed in by the buggies

I'm not being mean - I mean I'm happy for couples that have kids - but right now its not helping

I know the feeling, i'm a teacher and most of my kid's parents have buggies or bumps too!

Agreed! But on a plus side that means that eventually you'll be one of those people and you'll know what the poor longing looks mean from passing non pregnant women so you'll be more sympathetic

I find it really hard too but hoping it happens for us all soon x

I feel the same too

Last night my old manager texted me saying his GF gave birth to a little boy...I'm really happy for them as they have 3 girls and was told they couldnt carry boys but I would of loved it if I was the one sending the text to everyone that I just gave birth....

Also my cousin is due Paddys day so she will have her first baby soon and another cousin is having her baby in april....after that I'm praying I will be the one to say I'M PREGNANT!...

Oh and did I mention the couple I am house sharing with is 3 months pregnant...YEP they are everywhere

When I was ttc it seemed that I was SURROUNDED by pregnant women. I couldn't go out without seeing at least 2. Then when I conceived they all dissapeared! Now I never see pregnant women (even when DH informs me that we have just passed some in the street).

I soooo know how you feel! All of my friends have had babies recently! And everytime I'm on fb, there's about 10 other friends from high school that are either preggers or have had babies very recently! It gets annoying and frustrating, especially when it's that time of month!!!!!!
