How will I deal with my firend. The two of us are always talking about how we want babies and we get all jelous when our friends get pregnant. Well now we are trying and my husband said I can only tell her and my sister and I want to tell her but I worry she will get jelous. She is busy and excited with her wedding plans. I am going to be her maid of honor so I hope I have the baby before her wedding in sept.. I would have to get pregnant by the end of december... Anyway how do I tell this friend with out her getting upset.. we both promised each other when we did get pregnant we would be happy for each other and help the other one out and everything.. I don't know what do you think?

This is a sticky situation. I think that you should tell her in a honest and up front manner. I have a friend like this that actually made it seem like we were in a competion to see who could have the most babies first. I am sure that you friend will be happy for you, she already realizes how strongly you feel about having a baby. Also you said that she is planning her wedding, surely eventually she will also be trying to get pregnant? It is not as if only one of you can have children.

I think she should be happy for you. I know people who have been trying to get pregnant and I wondered the same thing when I found out I was pregnant with my 2nd son and they were extremely happy for me. It shouldn't be a problem.

Real friends don`t get jealous and she should be happy for you!

I would say that she should be happy for you. She needs to focus on planning her wedding not getting pregnant. I would say to just be honest and open with her when you do become pregnant.

A real friend is someone who is supportive. Throughout your pregnancy you will lose some friends and realize who your true friends are. She sounds like an attention getter,so I suggest ignore her. Your at a different point of your life now and most of your friends wont understand. This is when you realize family is alot of help. Find someone who is supportive and someone you can confide in. Hope it works out for you hun. :)
