How do you cope?


Hi
I found out yesterday that a friend has just got pregnant. She doesn't even want children. She has told her partner that she will only keep it if they get married, something he is reluctant to do. Anyway he has agreed so they are going to have the baby.
I was just so upset about it - has anyone else felt like this?
Sorry to have a whinge but I feel like such a bad person for not being happy for her

You know what? I wrote a post with the EXACT same title on her about a month ago!

No, you're not a bad person...I used to think I was, but then all the wonderful people on this forum reassured me that what I was feeling was completely normal.

When you're trying so hard to get pregnant, and someone falls pregnant by mistake and aren't even happy about it, it can be a real kick in the guts.

Personally, i've had several people fall pregnant around me since we've been trying and I just can't be happy for them...with time, i've accepted it and become a 'little bit' happy for them, but until i'm pregnant myself, I just can't be 'excited' for them.

Don't worry, you're NOT a bad, mean or cynical person, you're just a woman that wants a baby more than anything else in the world, and you just feel that its unfair that someone that didn't even plan for a baby is pregnant.

Chin up, your time will come and until then, we're all here for you

Im sooo desperate for a baby I feel jealous and envious of pregnant women when and where I see them.. which seems so be all the time- everywhere Due to my age my fears are multiplied and then some! It really gets me down. To make it worse my partners sister just announced she's pregnant again, and she's a year younger than me! I just feel like such a sad and lonely person sometimes as I don't have anyone to talk to about this...
Sorry, im coming across all doom and gloom, its one of those days I guess anyway, I guess what Im trying to say is it can all be a bit much somedays!
