how to deal with jealousy of pregnant woman and new moms. my sister just gave birth to her 2nd daughter today also my sister inlaw is 10 weeks pregnant with her second (my sister inlaw and i were both pregnant at the same time for our 1st babys we had them a month apart and we just love having them so close in age and being pregnant together) Ive been trying for a baby for acouple months and still nothing... and well it just kills me when i hear them talk about being pregnant cuz im jealous... Does anyone else feel this way?

I was 10 weeks at the middle of jan and lost the baby. think its gonna be a long time before i feel emotionally ready to try again.

Congratulations Brianna
I totally understand, i've been TTC now for 3 1/2 years. Its not going to happen for me, i cry all the time. no one will help and it kills me everytime i see a new born or i find out anyone i know is pregnant. Something inside me is dying. I'm always happy for people who are pregnant though

I just found out about my miscarriage 4 weeks ago and I am experiencing a ton of that! My sis in law just had a baby, four of my friends are having babies soon as well. I already have one beautiful son but it dosen't ease that ache of wanting another one sooo bad. The hard part of this is not being able to even try for another 2-3 months!! I think its perfectly normal to have those feelings. But you can''t really show it or say anything because you don't want to make them feel bad or "rain on their parade". I guess the only thing you can do is try to stay positive. I a believer that everything happens for a reason... as difficult as believing in that has been for me latley. I think it will happen for both of us when the time is right. :o)
