I don’t know what to do, HELP!
This is kind of a rant, but I’m also looking for advice so please stick with me through my story!
Alright, so my hubby and I have been ttc for almost 4 months now (i know, it’s not that long, but in a way it feels like an eternity!) without much luck. I work in a hospital on the labor and delivery floor as the dietician and I absolutely love my job because I get to see newborns every single day as well as bond/get advice from amazing mothers.
I have this one coworker that I absolutely adore working with because she is super kind, funny, and great to talk to. However, I’m starting to dislike working with her because she has become a MAJOR complainer. At the beginning of September, she decided it was time for her and her boyfriend to try for their second kid and I’m not even kidding you, she got pregnant the next week!
She is almost 8 weeks along now and literally all she does is complain about every single thing that is happening in this pregnancy! I love her to death and I understand that she doesn’t like being nauseous all the time, but it’s getting old. Her biggest complaint right now is that she absolutely does not want a girl and she does not want twins, but she thinks both those things are true so she constantly fusses about it. I get that she wants another boy and she doesn’t want more than two kids, but does she really need to complain about the possibility of twins around me??
She knows how badly I want a baby and it kills me every time she complains about hers because I would take it from her in a heartbeat! I would do anything to be pregnant right now and I could care less about the symptoms that come with it.
What I need help with is trying to figure out how to talk with her about how I feel. I know I’m probably being stupid about this whole situation, but I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. I never want to work with her anymore because it literally hurts me when she complains about her pregnancy. Is there something wrong with me?! Also, no rude comments please...I’m not ashamed to say that I’m a pretty sensitive person. Any help/advice would be appreciated.
