Lucky for me I'm pretty psitive about other women having babies, maybe I havnt struggled enough or maybe time hasnt made me bitter enough but I am still glad to see babies and bumps around, why should I have it if I dont want anyone else to I figure. Dont get me wrong, it takes the breath out of my chest and makes my heart ache with longing and very occasionally it will make me shed a tear or two, but I am never angry at these women.
However the other week I had to laugh, I actuallly started to think I was in a prank or something? All I could think of was what you ladies woulld think if you were there.
I went for my bllood and scan to plan trigger, and 1st off the blood waiting room had......no joke.......6 pregnant woman in there! Just waddling in and out, pacing rubbing bellies, then, of I went to the fertility cinic, and alll I could hear was a baby crying, into the waiting room walks a dr cradling a baby cooing and clucking at all the other doctors, not a though for us inferties, and just when Id finished being incredulous, the friggin nurse who showed me how to do my trigger injection calls me in and I kid you not, shes at least 7 months pregnant!!
haha, at this point I was looking for the cameras!!!
Im surprised she works in a place like that so pregnant, Id be gaurding that bump from us crazy IF ladies, she must feel the eyes boring into it hahah
Just thought id share with you, tolld one of my 'normal' mates and she just sort of looked a bit blank, and changed the subject...Knew you ladies would understand!!!

I'm convinced the fertile world is against us somehow. Constantly rubbing their pregnant bellies in our faces. Just be lucky your job isn't a L&D nurse. I hate my job so much..... And I never thought I would. It's just too painful to watch everyone else be so happy.

You never know how long that pregnant woman struggled to get there. Don't be so quick to judge.

Hey I wasnt doing any judging actually, just laughing at my own obsession. I mean really! I know that I am not bumping into more pregnant women than anybody else by law of averages and I certainly don't think I judged any pregnant women in this post in fact it clearly states in the beginning that I am pretty positive about pregnant women, more so than lots of other women on this site, but I am certain I am not alone in feeling stalked by them on some days! So brilieigh I chose to ignore your post, thanks anyway

So well put Nedico. I too make an effort to come from a place of acceptance and not bitterness but sometimes it's just sooo hard not to be envious of these ladies. What a day you had with all that right up in your face! I feel I can usually keep it together but I reached my limit with one situation I encountered a while back. Passed a very pregnant woman on the street, PANHANDLING. Bit my tongue and kept walking. Then I'm pretty sure I went home and screamed!
