is it normal to be jealous of other peoples pregnancies? it seems like all my friends are pregnant or just had a baby, and it honestly makes me jealous that im not the one. i have a friend who had a baby boy in feburay of last year and give him up for adoption, then not later than 2 months, she got pregnant again and just gave birth to a baby girl and is now thinking of giving her up for adoption too because she wants her life back. it seriously makes me so mad. couples who are trying so hard for a baby cant get pregnant. but women who dont even want children get pregnant like crazy.
ok, im done venting. :)

I totally agree with you.I love my little sister to death but I am also very jealous of her. She has had two healthy babies within the past 3 years. And I have been there with her through both of them. I love my niece and nephew but I am so ready to have my own :( I hope it will be soon!

Yep. I also know the feeling. I am trying really really hard to be happy for those around me, but it can be very very difficult. I just found out a friend who has had 3 abortions is now prego. All of my friends have had atleast one in highschool. I have never been prego and I am just sooo pissed! It's so unfair. I feel that I am a good person who deserves to be a mother. I tell myself that everyday hoping that it will come true.

I feel that way too. i work at a schools and i see parents having children all the time one after another. They cant even take care of the ones they have and they are having more. it makes me want to scream.

Yes I think that women in our postition are completely normal when they have feelings of jealousy. It is so hard to watch moms play with their babies or to see a womans' pregnant belly. I don't even know what I would do if I had a friend like that. Why don't you adopt her baby? It sounds like that baby needs a good home.

i already thought about that. she said no because it would be too hard to give her baby to her best friend. i personally think she adopts her kids for the money. she was paid for her first adoption. and in paid i mean the adoptave parents opened a trust account for her to use on college. and she was showered with gifts of all sorts(money for a car) by the adoptave parents.

Oh wow! That is even more sad than because we suffer everyday because no matter what we try we can't get pregnant and then there are people like her. That upsets me so much!

I know for me it is a mix between being jealous, hurt and anxious. I am ready for it to be me and I am hurt because it's not and jealous because it seems like it is so easy for those who don't want children, to get pregnant. So while yes it is very natural to feel a little jealousy but we have to stay strong and be happy because a baby is always a blessing and though your friend maybe giving up her children she may be making a better choice for them, cause what kind of life would they have if their mother is not ready and does not want them so good luck to you and stay strong though I know at times that is easier said than done :)
