Yes.  I want another baby desperately but circumstances do not allow it right now.  If I see pregnant women or newborns I get teary eyed.

Yes. I wanted to have more kids, but I had to have a hysterectomy, so I can't

I was like this. I wasn't mad or rude, I just longed for my own child. My husband wanted to wait until we were more stable and at that time I felt like we were for our age. We would fight about it a lot. All of my friends and my brother and his gf were expecting too. I really upset. I would pray every night that I would get pregnant. Finally I did, not knowing I was until I went to the hospital  for something else. Everything is fine and we are BOTH excited and happy! Expecting our first child, May 25th.

It took four years to get pregnant. There was a lot of friends and family members in that time that had baby's and I know I got jelous a lot of the times. I was always so happy for them, but I always would wonder why it was so hard for us. Though after a couple years I found a dr that knew what was going on, PCOS. She helped us so much and I know if I hadn't met her, my little man wouldn't be here today. I could never stop thanking her for all the time and effort she put in with making sure we was charting right, on the right meds, etc :).

When we were trying to concieve and it just wasn't happening I got jealous of strangers...seriously. I never said anything or anything like that but it made me really sad, I am now 18 weeks along and I am now jealous of the women who are almost done.

we unintentionally got pregnant only one month after we were married and i was struggling with not feeling ready to have a baby.  . . financially, emotionally, etc. then we were at a restraunt with our pastor and his wife, and as we're talking, she tells me about how they've been married 25 years and tried to get pregnant. . . and were never able to. she wasn't rude or mean but i felt so horrible. here i was, pregnant unexpectedly. . . and it seemed to easy to become so. . . and here was this sweet, wonderful woman who was never able.
the good part is that, not long after that, they started the adoption process for a 12 year old orphan from russia. now they have him and it's wonderful. he got a great family and they got the son they always wanted!

After I had my first daughter it took 4 years to get pregnant again. I was really upset because I want my kids to be close in age. A couple of my husbands cousins kids are close in age I never got jealous I just figured it wasn't meant for us to happen that way. My doctor told me it was probably bc I was sooo stressed about wanting another it was keeping me from having another. He was right I gave up thinking about it and I had my second girl. Now because I wasn't thinking about it I am pregnant with my third.

Yes, it does make me somewhat jealous.  However, I just try to be happy for them anyway because if it wasn't what the good Lord wanted, then they wouldn't be pregnant.  I have to keep telling myself that whenever it's meant to be, then a baby will come along for us to adopt (since we can't have children).  Of course, there are days where I'm totally impatient and just can't hardly wait, but what else can you do?   One of these days, maybe our son won't be an only child anymore!

It's hard from either perspective. I have never had trouble getting pregnant (I'm expecting #2!) But I cannot put my life on hold for somebody else. I guess it's okay to be jealous and it's understandable, but it's ridiculous to seeth about how unfair it is and make rude comments to me. It's not MY FAULT you can't have babies. I'm not happy because you aren't pregnant, I'm happy because I AM... it's totally different. I can't and won't appologize to somebody for being pregnant.
And yes, sadly, I had a friend who demanded I appologize for 'stealing her thunder' by getting pregnant before she did. She's been trying since September, we started trying in December and got pregnant in January... and she acted like we started TTC just to copy her. Whatever. It's hard for me, too, so don't call me "Fertile Myrtle" as if it's my fault you aren't!

I feel bad for women who have trouble, because I can't imagine that kind of pain and stress. I agree that it's sad and I wish it wasn't so.
But you lose my sympathy hands down when you get pissed at me for not sharing in that miserable circumstance.
