Do you experience jealous feelings of other pregnant women when you are TTC?

Question

Ps-any advice on dealing with these feelings? Part of me is genuinely happy for my preggo friend, but I keep having jealous feelings pop up. :/

Answer

I'm torn because I'm happy for the married couples I know, but I'm not happy for the "oops, accidentally got knocked up, didn't even want kids!"
​
​I'm a little jealous of both, but mostly of the ones who didn't want kids.

Answer

I used an app to blacklist the word "pregnant" from my newsfeed. I feel like everyone is, while I'm struggling.

Answer

I actually feel happy when I see other pg women or just moms with their kids. Makes me smile. One day I will be in their shoes. Seeing them gives me a positive outlook on life. Reminds me of what I am working for. A happy, loving and growing family!

Answer

I really try not to, but after so much trying and hoping with nothing but BFNs gets exhausting. Then hearing friends getting pg without even trying or planning! Sometimes I even get mad about women with a ton of kids and a big baby bump. How come they get so many, and I'm still trying for one?

Answer

I tried for 2 cycles before I got pregnant,i know it doesn't seem like it's a lot,but it felt like an eternity to me,I tried really hard and obsessed a lot.used OPKs and Glow and was really dying to get my BFP..
​
​When for example my cousins asks me if my pregnancy was planned,
​I look at them straight in the eyes and say (No)..
​I say it just happend..
​I don't know why but I do,I admit that. 
​
​I'm not saying all people are liars ..but a lot of those "opps pregnancies" aren't really an opps..don't believe everything you hear or somebody tell u.
​
I think I don't admit that I tried hard because they (my family and people I know) are just always pregnant and  "it wasn't planned" 
​ 
​No body wana say they struggled a bit to get their bundle of joy I guess..
​Maybe they didn't TTC at all who knows but I just don't believe it.
​
​Only my Glow buddies know☺️

Answer

I think, and hope it's a natural feeling for us who have been or are TTC to feel. I sometimes even think that the girls around me think it's a race, like to see who gets pregnant first. It's so dumb... Especially when they know that we are having a hard time TTC and they just pop babies out like it's a sport. Ugh.

Answer

I would say it is more envy than jealousy x

Answer

Honestly I see all these people I've known for years able to get pregnant an to me idk how to feel. Sometimes the girls are young or neglect their children an I don't understand why they can have children but I can't when I know is be a good mom. For my friends that are my age or older having children I am happy for them but it still drives me nuts that I don't have a child of my own. I couldn't even give advice on how to handle it or whatever cause I can't even figure it out. The green eye monster sucks.
