I did! My friend was pregnant the same time as me for my first and my SIL was two months ahead for my second pregnancy
-
Last time there were several friends/family members pregnant the same time as me, and that was fun. This time, I hope no one is as selfish as that sounds. I think I would have a meltdown if my SIL or one specific friend got pregnant soon, that's another story
-
I would have loved it. I have some Mom friends that I've reconnected with (from hs) and have gotten close with some, but after Olivia's birth. none of my "close" group were/are anywhere near having babies!
-
My BFF was preggers with her second and due about a week after me, but she had a blighted ovum. We were really excited to be preggers together. She ended up getting pregnant again towards the end of my pregnancy, so we will still have LOs close in age, but not as close. It would have been fun! Especially so we could have babies doing the same things developmentally.
-
Depends on the friend. A laid back friend who is excited to be pregnant--yes. Some of my more dramatic, pessimistic friends--probably not!
-
Yes! My good friend who lives three blocks away had her son exactly four weeks bf C was born. It's great going through everything so close together.
We both started trying around the same time and it would have really hard if it took one of us a lot longer than the other, though.
-
My best friend since I was 5 told me she was pregnant and a few days later I found out I was pregnant. We loved it!
-
Yes! My best friend got married three months before we did and I wanted her to be pregnant with me. She got pregnant when DS was a month old. I was so happy I cried!
-
Yes! Nearly everyone in my close friends group was pregnant while I was. We joked about a "pregnancy pact", but it was wasn't planned.
-
I wouldn't mind being pregnant at the same time as anyone except my SIL.
-
I would love itttt!! I think my neighbour is which would be great. In Canada we get a year off for mat leave, so having someone off at the same time would be so nice!
-
Yes! I have been begging, pestering, gently reminding my friendsfor years that we should all have babies together. Now that most of us are trying/currently pregnant I have let up as too be sensitive in case anything were to happen like miscarriage or IF discovered.
-
Yes, I thought it was fun! We have 5 new spring/summer babies in our circle of friends. I'm hoping it happens with our next LO too!
-
Yes! My BFF and I took our annual Vegas trip last year and both wondered why the other wasn't drinking...lo and behold we were both preggo! I was 3 months ahead of her though.
-
My sister and I were pregnant at the same time. It was wonderful to have a friend going thought what I was going through.
-
@Bao: I don't think it's selfish - I totally agree with you! I had two friends both due two months before me with this baby and while it was nice to share stories and things I felt at times I didn't really get to enjoy my pregnancy as much, as so many things were compared (weight, symptoms, etc.). I'd love to do it alone next time.
-
A friend from jr high was due the day after me. We reconnected when we were about 9 weeks pregnant (we had been fb friends and casually teasing each other about when we were going to have kids, we got married a few months apart) and she's been a huge source of support for me. I hope it happens that way again!
SIL was pregnant too but 4 months ahead of me. We aren't close and have different parenting styles so we never really talked much.
-
I did, my coworker was trying for her second my entire pregnancy but unfortunately it didn't work until just a few weeks ago. I'm so happy for her, but a little bummed that we won't be out on maternity leave together lol!
I was praying my sister would NOT announce a pregnancy before or during my pregnancy though. She's really selfish and self centered so I know she would try to one-up me the entire time and organize family things and not invite me, like she did for her wedding.
-
Yes, I want lo to have friends her age! I do have a friend who had her baby a month after me, and my sister will be having her baby two months after me this time
-
My best friend was a month behind me, but she lives across the country. Made me miss her even more!
-
Most of my close friends I met because we were all pregnant together (me with my 2nd, and most were on their firsts), several friends are pregnant again with me but we all will be moving within a year of their births, so they won't be close like S and her friends are. Hopefully some of us get stationed together at our next bases.
-
My best friend since we were 12 is due with her second baby a week before I'm due with my first. It's awesome! I just wish we lived closer to each other.
-
When I was pregnant with E there were 7 of us total pregnant or just having babies in our group of friends! It's been so fun!!! I don't have any pregnant friends or family members this time though. My BFF just got married in December so I'm still hoping she gets PG this year so my #2 and her #1 can be close!
-
I would like that but I doubt it will happen. Most of my friends from growing up had babies years ago & also live far away.
-
For my 1st my SIL was just a few weeks behind me, but we aren't close at all (geographically or in friendship). I also had a coworker have a baby 5 months after me, so we were pregnant for a little while together.
This time, my SIL is pregnant again, but she's due 4 months before me. I also have one friend in my mom's group who is 3 weeks ahead of me.
-
I'm not pregnant, but I would love to have a friend or family member be pregnant at the same time! I'll be a first time mom, so I would imagine it'd be nice to talk to someone else in depth about what we're going through!
-
I had several friends pregnant at the same time as me and I enjoyed it. I'd like it if it worked out again but I certainly wouldn't try arrange things that way.
-
I didn't really think of it, but it would have been nice if it were a good friend!
-
I don't know any other way of being pregnant! My sister and I had our 1st DDs 5mo apart, and we are having our 2nd DDs 4mo apart. The first time around my SIL was pregnant, too. This time my next door neighbor is pregnant, due only 2wks ahead of me! It's so nice to have other pregnant ladies to be excited/commiserate with.
-
DH's best friend is getting married next month as they are going to have kids ASAP. I wish his soon to be wife was pregnant now so I can have another first time mommy to talk to.
-
@pui: haha yes. Anyone but SIL
I have an acquaintance that's pregnant, she talks to me a lot more often now because she's a month behind me. She's really dramatic and is really hating her surprise pregnancy so far, so it's not quite how I wish it was
-
I think it would have been great, but it didn't happen!
-
Eight of my friends had babies in the year before I got pregnant and three of my acquaintances are due Oct-Dec. No friends to my knowledge pregnant at the same time as me, but when the first trimester ends, someone might surprise me!
-
We have had 2 friends ask us when we are going to start trying because they would love to be pregnant/ have a baby around the same time. If it happens, it happens. I am not going to "plan" my life around it... as much as you can plan a pregnancy!
-
My brother and SIL had their baby 7 weeks ago and my best friend had hers two weeks ago. I'm due this month. It has been awesome to go through this all with them. So far there have been two little boys. Can't wait to find out what my baby is!
-
It seemed like everyone I knew was pregnant the same time as me.
It's still early, but I hope I'm one of the few this time!
-
I didn't really think about it before hand, but one of my friends was pregnant at the same time as me. She was about 6 weeks ahead of me, and it's been so nice to have someone to talk to about all the crazy pregnancy things! None of my other friends have babies yet, and they wouldn't know what I was talking about and I'm sure they wouldn't want to hear about it all the time!
-
i WISH one of my friends was pregnant with me... i'm the only one out of my close friends... it would be nice to go through it together!
-
Yes!! One of my friends just found out She is expecting, we are about 6 weeks apart! So excited our LO's will be close!
-
I have a best friend who I call my "Twinner" and we've always talked about babies. She was married years before me but I was ready (and trying) for babies long before her. Turns out, she got pregnant 2 weeks before me!! When she told me I was both THRILLED and heartbroken- scared to feel "left in the dust." Little did I know I would find out I was pregnant 2 weeks later! It's been so great being able to bounce pregnancy thoughts off one another! It has really made my experience that much more enjoyable!
