Anyone else struggling with jealousy ?

Question

We’ve been TTC for a year now. Got a BFP in April but miscarried at 7 weeks. Four days later found out my husbands cousin was expecting. And today found out another cousin is expecting. I’m 6dpo so I *could* be pregnant now but man every time AF shows up it gets harder for me to be excited for friends and family blessed with baby dust. Anyone else??

Answer

I wouldn’t call it jealousy. I think as a woman we have have such a want to have a baby and when everyone around you is falling pregnant and you aren’t it downright hurts. I am in same position now 5dpo this is month 20 of trying and my sister in law just announced she was pregnant, my mums partners daughter is pregnant so I feel everywhere I go I’m surrounded by baby news that I should be so happy about but I’m just not. You’re not alone and it’s totally normal. Baby dust to you ✨✨

Answer

My husband and I have been TTC baby #2 for about 2 years now, have had multiple miscarriages. My brother in law and his wife just had a baby at the beginning of the year then turn around and found out they are pregnant again when the baby wasn’t even 6 months old yet. I understand your jealousy so much.

Answer

Me 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ mine has been mixed with a lot of sadness lately. We’ve been TTC for 9 months which I know in the grand scheme of things isn’t a lot. I found out I was pregnant in February and then found out at my 12 week appointment that we lost the baby. We just started again really trying in June and it’s been awful every month. Everytime I see a birth announcement or pregnancy announcement I get so sad and feel like it’s never going to happen for me. In my TWW now and hoping for the best but ovulated way earlier than originally scheduled so my BD schedule got all screwed up. Just know you’re not alone and I feel like it’s a normal reaction. Baby dust to you!

Answer

Girl I feel you my cousin is and sometimes it's so hard not t ok be frustrated and jealous sometimes it almost been a year for me and my husband and I have tried to not let it get to me but when they talk about it around me I sometimes just have to walk away baby dust you you girl!

Answer

I definitely relate! My sister in law is due to have their baby any day now and my little brother’s girlfriend (19) just found out she’s pregnant. I was able to act excited in front of them but I broke down later that night before bed. 😢
