Am I jealous over the pregnancy of my friends?

Just wondering if any other woman out there feel like screaming whenever someone they know got pregnant? Last weekend I just learned from a friend that our friend who just recently got married is now pregnant. It was so overwhelming when my friend announce the news that I actually teared up. It makes me so stressed that they can so unexpectedly become pregnant. My husband and I knew that I'd have difficulty conceiving again due to my illness. I had two miscarriages. I've been growing more depressed as each month goes on with the realization that I may not have another baby. It's so stressful knowing that almost all of my friends who got married are now blessed with their little one. ;(

It's just but natural to envy your pregnant friend, because you yourself has been trying to have one but to no avail yet. Don't despair Auds. Perhaps God has other plans for you and Ephs. Just continue praying and asking Him for signs what He likes for you and Ephs. Don't pressure yourself into having a baby. Meantime, just enjoy each day with your husband and in no time , you will be surprised when a baby would just suddenly come into your life.

Indeed perhaps God has other plans for us. I just hope and wish that I'll be able to conceive this year. I don't care where to get the money for the medication, I know that It'll just pop up out of nowhere. Yup that's what we've been doing enjoy each other hehehehe. We're excited for the coming long weekend, we'll be going on a week vacation hahaha finally. have a great long weekend ahead Tita D. ;)

Oh I am so sorry to hear that. But don't bee so sad. We have to accept no matter how hard it would be. You are still young and I am sure there is a lot more time for you to conceive. Just be very healthy. I hope your doctor is also helping you. But whatever it is just be positive because all the depression can make you more ill and conceiving would be more difficult.

I hope I'll have more time. I'm not getting any younger. It'll be much more difficult for me to conceive when I'm on my 30s. Yes actually I have a monthly check up with my doctor it's a bit expensive but we're still holding on. I hope by September my doctor can give us clearance that It's ok for me to get pregnant. ;( Have a great day ahead

i know how that feels. me and my wife are married for almost 9 years, and we have a five year old son. his picture appears as my avatar. she had a few miscarriages too before we hit the jackpot. it was very traumatic specially for her. but do not get stressed. make sure you do everything your doctor tells you and of course pray. all if this will happen in Gods time. stress makes you hard to get pregnant. something happens to your body because of stress. my wife is so scared of that she does not like to get pregnant anymore. she said one is enough. i am sure you will have a baby too just dont stress yourself too much. be excited and look forward on getting pregnant. read about how to take care of yourself and read all about how to get pregnant on the internet. stop worrying and be happy.

I've been in that situation before. My husband and I were married 6 years before we were blessed with a child. Everytime someone would ask why we haven't had a baby, we just answer them back with a smile. We also came to a point when we wanted to just adopt a baby. We never stopped praying and since we believe that if having a baby is destined for us, we will be given one at the perfect time. I got pregnant at the time that we never expected it anymore. So do not loose hope. The more you are thinking about it, the more stressed you will be.

That's pretty tough for a married couple. i am not married yet so i don't wish to be pregnant now. I will just pray that you'll conceive soon, just work good in bed, work for it! And you've mentioned about your illness that is why you're having this problem I hope you will recover in that health condition soon. Let's pray. godbless

I can understand how you feel. We are also waiting for our first baby and every time I see or hear a friend of mine getting pregnant, I was asking myself what have they done that I did not? I am healthy and both of us don't have any problems. I am keeping myself as healthy as possible but we are still not blessed. I guess GOd knows the right time for everything and all we can do is wait. Right now we are enjoying our time together as a couple... waiting.
