About to lose the plot......

Today is a bad day. I am so fed up. There were 4 births last week and another 2 today. Not only that, but there are several more pregnant. I am for the most part excited. However today two people I used to go school with announced their pregnancies on Facebook. One ( let's call her a) is two years younger then me and this will be her fourth child! The other one announced she is pg with here third... And the worst bit is that she is single! No husband, no partner, no boyfriend! She just managed to get herself knocked up! I feel like crying, how is that fair? What have I done that's so bad that my body won't function properly?

Furthermore they are both complaining that they are 'so big' and 'fed up of morning sickness'. They also keep saying that everyone keeps thinking they might be having twins due to their size.... Their response?.... 'I dont want twins, just one mor, oh and I want a boy/girl and I want them to look like this, blah blah blah!

Don't they know how lucky they are?! I would do anything to experience what they are! It makes me so angry, I try to not think about it but then I can't and I just get all upset. I feel like a cow saying All of this but I am just so angry with it all!

Sorry rant over.

Hi alb2c3

Ranting is good! It lets it all out and makes us feel just a little bit better. It's really hard isnt it, it feels like we're being punished for something even though we just want the most natural thing in the world. I completely understand, I feel the same and am the only person from my married friends who is still childless.

I've been really lucky throughout my life in that I've been able to acheive whatever I put my mind to - until this. But I'm determined it will happen one day, i'm just having to learn to be (very!) patient. Have you talked to any of your friends about what you're going through? I found that after bottling it up for a few years i felt much better after talking to a few close friends about it - and despite them being parents they were very understanding.

I hope tomorrow if a better day for you and it gives you some comfort to know that although your friends are all popping them out, we're all here for you and understand how hard it is. And if you need to rant then you've definitely come to the right place - it makes me realise I'm not alone too.

Take care

Thanks. No I haven't really spoke to anyone. Not really anyways. I spoke a bit to my sister in law as I knew she was trying to, but as she has just given birth to her third child she isn't really top of my list for comfort anymore. I also spoke s bit to my mum as she was on chlomid for seven years to get me, but at the same time... It's my mum so a bit weird talking to her about it!

But thank you, I feel better knowing I am not alone in this.

Ha, isn't it just the pits? I had to check to make sure you weren't from my area. Must be just as bad across the pond.

I know about twenty some odd (lost count) pregnant women at the moment. All announced on FB, then I deleted them off. Don't feel like looking at their statuses whining about morning sickness or how terrible this pregnancy is. Then don't get pregnant!! That simple really.

About that one who is pregnant with no male in her life, it's as if she asexually reproduced!! A chick I went to HS with is pregnant with her first and she doesn't have a male in her life either. I also doubt she paid to be inseminated by a donor.

It sucks that everyone is pregnant with their 2nd or third and we've yet to have our first. Although I look at it as when I'm having my first everyone else will be jealous of me and my newborn because they're done having their brood.
