is it normal to feel so resentfull when everyone around you is pregnant!
One of my work collegues told me she was pregnant this morning, i acted all happy for her (which i genuinly am) but i feel so depressed she only tried for one month!!! its not fair!!
She dosn't know we are ttc and she was making jokes about how i should get pregnant, i just wanted to cry
Sorry for the moan im having a bad day, still havnt ovulated yet and its cd35 (i can't even remember how many days now, it could be more)
Re: is it normal to feel so resentfull when everyone around you is pregnant!
Yes it is normal. I had the same thing today. I am not only infertile but have been diagnosed with a condition that can make having a baby difficult/fatal for me. Anyway we were talking about school taxes and I said why should I pay so much on taxes for schools I am not using. He kept saying over and over --- yet as if there is a guarantee I will use them. I wanted to just smack him. He is always complaining about how difficult life as a parent is and I would gladly trade that difficulty for a chance to have one.
Good luck, hang in there but don't hit your co-worker --- it will only screw up your chances of corporate advancement.

Ive been having resentful feelings for about a year now. 2 of my closest friends and countless other coworkers have had babies in the last year and I am embarassed to say that I am jealous. Although my hubby and I have only been trying for a few months, I worried that I would have difficulties long before then due to my irregular periods and now its like my deepest fears ar coming true....Like another poster said earlier, it seems to be "raining pregnant women" and I seem to be a walking ball of resentment.
Re: is it normal to feel so resentfull when everyone around you is pregnant!
I am the one who said its raining pregnant women . .. and the more i think about it i realise that i did not used to see pregnant women before now i do.
I understand what you guys mean but its only natural to feel that way.
Luckily most of my friends don t have kids yet. I feel most uncomfortable with my family lately. My sis just had her 3rd opps baby. I actually had to baby sit her other 2 kids for a few days until she got used to the idea.She then had her tubes tied after giving birth. Now she only calls me to moan about the costs of bringing up 3 kids, to tell me how disobedient they are(i think they are 3 angels) or to tell me how busy she is.I love her dearly. . .. but it hurts so much when she moans that i try to avoid her as much as possible. After her last moaning session i told her have you ever thanked God that they are all healthy and she just stared at me.. ....
I ended up venting here.
Latey i am trying to do my best to appreciate what i have more. . like Dh, my friends etc. . .. . until hopefully I (and all of us) will be blessed with our bundle of joy.

Whats been hardest on me is my brother in law and his wife are expecting their oops baby (they are 18 and 22) and not what you would consider financially stable. My hubby and I are both 27 and have both been saving up until we were ready and are now trying and its just hard....especially at family get togethers like tomorrow.
