Is it normal that i feel like this? Feeling down

Question

Im pregnant the same time as my SIL (husbands bros wife). Our 1st after alot of struggle, their 2nd.
Our due dates are less than 1 month apart. Hers is late june mine is early july.
Me and husband tried for nearly 3 years, clomid, iui, ivf which resulted in a chemical at nearly 5 weeks. So this natural pregnancy came as a big surprise, a good one of course. Husband told me today that Sil is expecting, is it normal that i feel really upset and annoyed by this? I think its because it feels like our special time is being taken over and dampened. I just wanted to feel special for once 😔😔😔😔😔. I know i should just be greatful but i cant lie, i do feel really really crap about this, especially since our dates are So close. We dont talk or really vibe or get along. Any advice?

Answer

No it’s not normal . I think you should focus on your pregnancy and be happy you are finally pregnant after so many years trying to conceive . It’s doesn’t change your pregnancy the fact that she is pregnant . And please don’t forget there is a innocent baby in her belly too that doesn’t deserve bad vibes , honestly speaking . 
How would you feel if the news of your pregnancy would get someone angry ? Really ?

Answer

Idk how normal it is that you feel like this but that pregnancy shouldn’t make yours less special. With all you’ve been thru, how can something like that matter. Also, in the time it took you and your husband to try and finally be successful - should those close to you wait to start their families? You determine how you want this experience to be

Answer

I’m going to preface this by saying I mean nothing but love here for you, mama. 
I am trying to see both sides... But just because it’s her second baby, doesn’t make it any less special. I know how hard it is to watch others get pregnant and be sad if you’re not, but I think if you ARE pregnant, you should be happy for you and happy for her.
Try to focus on the positives. Your baby will have a cousin super close in age! You’re finally pregnant and I’m sure your family will be over the moon! 😊

Answer

Your feelings are valid. I think once get used to the idea, it’ll be really fun growing together and might even bring you closer together. Your babies could be best friends! My sister in law is 2 weeks behind me and I’m excited that my baby will have a cousin so close in age! It took me a year to conceive with 2 losses. It’s her third so out pregnancies are special in their own ways. She may have her first boy, this will be my first baby no matter the gender! It’s okay to feel hurt right now, but you will see the excitement soon! Sending lots of love your way mama ❤️
