Am I overreacting?

Question

So my friend is about 7 months pregnant. Everytime I see her she complains that pregnancy sucks and that she's so miserable. She's said numerous times that she wants it to be over with. My friend knows the fertility struggles I've been through these past two years and how badly I want to be in her situation, miserable or not ... I'm sure she doesn't realize how hurtful some of her words are. Am I overreacting or should I say something?

Answer

My sister is pregnant right now and I too struggle with this. I talked it over with my cousin who has had 8 MC in 7 years and been through several fertility treatments. She reminded me that our struggle is not theirs and they too need to be able to vent just like we do. She encouraged me to try and not take my feelings about TTC on my sister. It has helped. But it is a struggle

Answer

My friend did the same thing when she knew I just miscarried and was having trouble conceiving. I'd tell her that it's really hard hearing her pregnancy woes while your ttc. Say it in a nice and loving way. She probably doesn't even notice she's doing it so much. She'll understand.

Answer

I understand... My friend knows all about my fertility issues and she complains about motherhood to me all the time when I would kill to be in her spot.... ( she accidentally got pregnant two years ago)

Answer

I understand everyone is entitled to complain here and there but unless you have went through infertility you will never understand... we've been trying for baby #2 for almost 2.5 years, we've had 2 loses in the last year and a half, so when I hear people complain or see how badly parents treat their children it sets me off. So I absolutely don't think you are over reacting.

Answer

My friend she's had 3 abortions and I've been TTC for 5 years so yes I feel you
