Bad person?

Question

My son is 4 months and I want a big family. Am I a bad person for being jealous of both of my friends for being pregnant? One is having her third child and the other is having her second after a miscarriage a few months ago. I’m still there friend I just feel so envious of them

Answer

You're not a bad person. You're allowed to feel however you want. That being said, you still have a very small baby at home that you should enjoy spending time with. Baby is going to grow SO fast and this time with them is fleeting and precious. Plenty of people would be thrilled just to have one baby. You've got lots of times to have more. There's no rush! Enjoy your baby being a baby, they're going to be running around eating goldfish crackers from under the couch before you know it.

Answer

I don’t even want another baby soon and I still get jealous of pregnant people. I enjoyed the heck out of pregnancy, it was a great time for me, and I definitely get jealous of other people getting to experience it. My cousin’s wife is currently pregnant and I’m so so excited for them but also definitely jealous. Can’t help my feelings. Sometimes I try to remember the sucky parts to feel a little less jealous (like the amount of pain I was in for 2 months after pushing that child out), and I focus on all the cool things my baby is doing now.
