TTC for a year and a half....how to not care about baby announcements ..

So my husband and I have been trying to conceive for year and a half now.

It feels like a long time but I know there are people out there that try to conceive for YEARSSS.

I have an old coworker from 3 years ago that I still chat with every now and then. When we worked together, she was pregnant with her first baby.

As of last year, she and her boyfriend started trying to concieve baby number 2 while my husband and I were struggling to TTC baby number one.

We used to chat about how badly we both wanted to be pregnant and I told her that it’s been a difficult journey for my husband and I due to PCOS.

I haven’t spoken to her in a few months or so but out of now where yesterday she sent a snap directly to me letting me know that she gave birth.

I feel as though it was insensitive of her to directly message me out of the blue to let me know she actually was pregnant and gave birth while also being aware that my husband and I are struggling.

I replied and said “wow congratulations 🎉” and that’s it.

I’m not gonna lie, I cried a little , especially after reading about a few random celebrities that announced their pregnancy.

I understand that she’s happy and just wanted to share with me but I feel like shit.

I don’t understand why she had to send it directly to me AND post it on her story.

This isn’t the first time I’ll have this feeling and I’d really like to nip it in the bud because who knows how long it’ll take for us to conceive 😞
