Hellobee Boards

We are TTC for our first and I feel the same way! Two coworkers who weren't even trying suddenly got pregnant but everyone was saying how I would be first. I was like, what?!

Welcome to the club. It sucks when you everyone around you is pregnant.

I wouldn't stress out too much, since you are NTNP.

I'm on month 20 TTC my first. I doubt you'll be waiting as long as I have. You'll be pregnant before you know it! Hugs! You'll be there soon.

@snowjewelz: yup, my younger sister started TTC a few months ago. I have this feeling she'll be pregnant before I am. I'll be the last one to have start a family.

Hugs. That is such a horrible feeling.

I swear everyone around me is pregnant right now too (but I'm nowhere near ready to TTC again so it's all good). There must be something in the water!

@AmeliaBedilia: I am happy for my brother and SIL but when I told them that we were doing fertility treatments and IVF might be next. The next day they announced they were pregnant with their 3rd child. I put on a happy face for them but inside I wanted to cry.

@bluestriped bee: OMG, that's an awful spot to be in. Why couldn't they have waited a little after that?

@bluestriped bee: That would be very hard on you if she does I hope she is sensitive to what you are going through tho!

I wish we can all be content with our own timing and paths, but it def is so hard to not feel like you are losing in this imaginary race!

Awww I totally understand the feeling and action of "putting your best smiley face on." I threw consecutive babyshowers the year I miscarried (after TTC for several years) because I just wanted to feel happy and normal again. I was just so tired of feeling miserable and crying myself to sleep. I tried to be happy for my friends and cousins and put my best face forward. It was so hard but my happiness for them found it's way to emerge. Eventually, I did start to feel optimistic again. I hope you have good news to share soon.

Hugs, I'm feeling that way too. I keep waffling on when to TTC #2. I want another one, just not sure when. So many are pregnant around us-mainly first timers.

@Sophs Mama: It's funny to think that you could have been pregnant when writing this. When did you O this month?

I've been feeling the same way.

I didn't get bit by the baby bug until last fall, but between then and now, DH and I have known at least 20 people who are either pregnant or have had babies. The first time I was *really* jealous over someone being pregnant was when my SIL announced she's having her 8th. (Can I have just one???)

And since my miscarriage, there have already been two showers and two births. I feel like I'm surrounded!!

@Sophs Mama: Pregnancy hormones. LOL.
I've been reminding myself of that lately..."Someday- all of this will be behind me."
