I’m not a horrible person, I’m just sad...right?

Question

I keep reminding myself that I’m not a bad person for not being happy that a friends of mine just revealed that she’s pregnant. I want so badly to be excited and happy that her 4th baby is on the way (they are awesome parents!), but I can’t help but be jealous and sad.
I found out I was pregnant earlier this month, and a week later it ended in a chemical pregnancy. I’m not a horrible, selfish person, am I?

Answer

you are NOT a horrible person. these are just honest thoughts. my partner and I have been ttc for over a year. I found out in January I was pregnant with my first. my bbf told me two weeks later that she was pregnant after a month of trying. since she felt bad about telling me because I have been ttc for so long I went ahead and told her I was pregnant at 7w and she was 5w and going to tell her family that Sunday. I ended up have a mc at the end of the week. she is now 9w pregnant had told her family and Ashley happy as can be. of course I am happy for her but the grieving process takes just so long. even if you think those things it is ok because deep down you know how excited you are for her. I hope this helps and to let you know you are not alone. stay strong and your rainbow baby Will come one day.

Answer

You are not a horrible person. It's common I'm sure all of us have felt like that. You are happy for your friend, but you are just feeling sad and wish you were pregnant as well. I have all of those feelings too. I got married this summer, my younger sister got married 5 weeks after me. She got pregnant right away and I've been trying for 7 months. I have lots of sad feelings as the oldest I wanted to be the first to give my parents grandparents. At every family get together she talks about it and everyone congratulates her. People keep sending me congrats auntie texts and in my head it's like f*ck off lol. It's hard for me of course and I have jealousy and sadness. I'm happy for her but I wish I was pregnant too. Fingers crossed this is our month!!! Baby dust!

Answer

I am having the same issue! Everyone around me is prego and i have been trying for 7 months and nothing. Baby dust for both of us!

Answer

I know, I have a brand new baby niece that I haven't congratulated the parents on yet... it's hard to be happy for others sometimes

Answer

Lots of us, if not all of us have felt it. I was the first of my friends to get pregnant and I wasn't trying. I then miscarried and spent 3 years watching my 3 best friends get married and have babies. Now I'm ttc and my best best friend is due in June with number 2. Its natural longing and don't beat yourself up over it xxx

I’m not a horrible person, I’m just sad...right?
