Now I know 7 women who are pregnant

and when I say "know" i mean they are close friends of mine or DH's including my sister in law.
Today we got a call from DH's best friend saying that his wife was pregnant. We are supposed to go visit them next month in San Diego, but now i don't want to go. I'm in such a bad mood now, all day DH has been asking me why Im' so grumpy.

Re: Now I know 7 women who are pregnant

No No be happy for them- and go visit- the joy of happiness and shared with others brings happiness all around! good feelings and happy positive feelings are the ones you want to be around! the magic of a smile and happiness that does to our bodies is the best medicine!

Re: Now I know 7 women who are pregnant

I've had about 15 women in my life in the last 9 months who either gave bith or are going to give birth really soon. It's hard. Really hard sometimes.

If you dont feel that you are up to it, talk to yuor DH and maybe you can go another time, or just go for a short visit.

I am not even TTC yet, but get grumpy around preggo ladies in my life. I am jelous that they are at a place in their life where I feel I should be right now. Do whatever makes you happy!!

Baby Dust to you!!

Re: Now I know 7 women who are pregnant

You have to take care of yourself. Talk to DH and try and help him understand how you are feeling. Maybe you will feel better going if you know he understands and will be supportive while you are there. If you still think it will be too hurtful for you, don't go!!

Re: Now I know 7 women who are pregnant

I know it's terribly hard to hear news like that.

My sister told me yesterday and her sister-in-laws's pregnant. I don't even KNOW this girl and I'm totally jealous!!!

Sometimes it feels like this feeling won't go away til we get our own BFP.

Stay strong. Your day will come.

Re: Now I know 7 women who are pregnant

I completely understand how you feel. To me it seems everyone I know that was pregnant has given birth to boys (one was on my original due date). No matter how much you want to be happy for them, the pain you feel inside sometimes can be overwhelming.

If you don't think you can show them true happiness and visit them, talk to your DH about postponing your trip. At least she won't have a huge belly when you visit her. Maybe DH can let them know you are sensitive and ask them to understand and cut down on the talk about the baby while you are visiting?

Re: Now I know 7 women who are pregnant

I hear what everyone is saying but doesnt everyone realize that being jealous and unhappy is NOT healthy! I have been TTC and my stepsister in law got pregnant and my sister is trying and I know for sure she will get pregnant fast- so I should be upset or jealous? why? I want to keep my immune system happy- yes happy brings edorphins to the brain and keep you balanced.- you want and need a healthy environment for a baby! dont worry your time will come but being sad and mopy isnt going to get you anywhere- we are all here for eachother and going through the same thing. Put that smile back on your face!
