I should be feeling excited about the fact that I suspect I may be preggo with #2, but instead I am feeling an incredible amount of guilt.
My girlfriend started TTC at the same time I did. I was 32, she was 40. I got pregnant the very first time we tried. I was shocked. About 7 months later, she got her BFP. However, she miscarried. She ended up having two MC's where baby would simply stop developing at a certain point. She was so heartbroken that she pretty much gave up. She finally saw a specialist and was told that she is in early menopause and that her odds of a BFP were slim to none and that sealed the deal.
It breaks my heart because I know how badly she wants children and she just didn't have a supportive partner until recently or she would have tried sooner. 
As I am waiting to find out if I've gotten pregnant again on my first try essentially, I am overwhelmed with guilt for all of the women who try so hard and want it so bad. I really wish I was younger because I would love to be a surrogate to help other moms. I even offered to do so for my girlfriend but she is really bent on the experience of being pregnant.
Anyone else feel guilty about their pregnancy, especially after being on the forums?
