Jealous again
Jump to Comments
I found out yesterday that a good friend is pregnant with her second child. I’m happy for her, really, I am. She’s a great mom, and she really wanted this second pregnancy. We’ve been TTC at the same time, and it’s been fun to be able to talk about it and share stories and struggles and fears.
But I find myself also feeling sad for me, sad for the baby we thought we would have, but lost. If that pregnancy had “stuck”, she and I would’ve been due at about the same time, and would have been able to really relate to each other, going through similar experiences throughout the pregnancy. So I’m sad for me, but really, I am happy for her.

Oh hon, I can relate. I went through much the same thing when I had my first miscarriage; a good friend of mine got pregnant around about the same time with her 2nd and she and I would have been able to talk, share stories, laugh, cry, compare, etc. through the pregnancy. It didn’t happen.
And it’s hard inside, because you cry for yourself and what you are going through, and you can’t help but be happy for your friend, but for a fleeting moment (or moments as the case may be), a little part of you seethes with the green-eyed-monster and the heartbreak. We all go through it. Remember that we’re here, going through it with you. And it’s good to talk.
Sending love. Always. And don’t give up hope.
