How do you cope??

Question

I keep finding out more and more people I know are unexpectedly pregnant... It literally is killing me slowly every time I find out another person I know is pregnant. Especially since 9/10 of these people aren't married and I have been for over 2 years!!! I just want it to be my turn. How do you handle when you find out another person is pregnant??

Answer

All of our friends have at least 2 kids, and the times I want to curl up and cry are when they climb all over me, or fall asleep in my arms.

I'm 'Aunty Rina' to them all and I've burped, fed, cleaned up after them, and put them all to sleep... Yet when we go home its just us two in a big drafty house.
 My friends all try to keep my spirits up and tell me that, '...you're not held down by kids, so make the most of it!' Or 'I wish I had time to do x, y & z!'

I'm unsure of what to do, I just listen to Dory from Finding Nemo and 'Just Keep Swimming'.

Answer

I know this is a very hard feeling I have wanted to be pregnant for 6 years now and everyone around has had babies both of my sister in laws have had 2 babies each since then my best friend has gotten pregnant and has some of my other family and friends. It does hurt but I have made the choice not to let myself get upset. This is very hard to do trust me but for me it is the best thing or I will be spending my days in a corner crying which I don't want. It helps that I am a forever optimist so I try to let it motivate me to keep trying and not give up
