Been sobbing for an hour since friend told me she is pregnant

[VWills]

She is a real good friend and I love her to bits but I just burst into tears when she told me just. She didn't know we had been trying for ages and she got pregnant straight away. I am happy for her but I just feel so sorry for myself.

I know I am being selfish but quite frankly I am sick of being so bloody happy for everyone and not telling people how unhappy it is making me. If it wasn't 1.30 in the afternoon i would crack open the wine!

aw hun im sorry, i understand that although happy for your friend it is still really really really hard for you.

honestly hun i think in your situation i would have a little cry too, slightly better than turning to wine, unfortunately in these situations i have a bit of an unhealthy relationship with lots and lots of food then have to make up for it by eating salads for the rest of the week lol

i know nothing that i can say will really help, i am very much anti anyone giving me well meaning advice (not bnb ladies though!) and saying it will happen when its meant to . . . well what about all those times it wasnt meant to for everyone else!

all i can say is that when you get your bfp and 9months later hold your little baby, everything that you have been through to get to that point will be worth it, there are so many babies born to people who dont want them and take them for granted, and know that you will never ever let a day go by where you dont thank whoever is up there for your child and make sure that you never miss a second of your baby growing, it is struggles like this that makes us so unbelievably grateful once we overcome them

sorry for long winded reply, having a bit of a down day and this is what i say to myself when i need some self motivation, makes me feel an inch better xkx

hey

the same thing happened to me the other day, so I know how you feel. It is really hard to see others fall pg, especially close friends.
i find going for a walk alone sometimes helps clear my head and makes me feel a bit more positive about everything x

thanks girls, you have helped a lot. Think I got it out of my system now. My DH randomly called just and I was sobbing and he was really good and said some nice things, makes me realise what a great hubby and life I have. Time to 'keep calm and carry on'!

aww so sorry, your not alone and we all feel like this one time or another.

Oh hun , i completely understand how you feel. It is so so hard. When my best friend became pregnant (her daughter is 2 in Nov) i found it really hard to deal with, so many emotions all at once, i was happy for her but so so jealous at the same time, i cried lots too. It didn't help that she told me by text, but she said later that she didn't know how to tell me so felt text was the only way.

I know exactly how you feel - have congratulated friends while inwardly sobbing so may times now. It's hard. Have that glass of wine tonight and hopefully it'll be your turn to tell everyone some good news soon.
