Hey all I just want to know am I the only one who gets depressed when I see a pregnant woman is it jealousy or what I cannot tell my DH about this because I don't want him to think I am crazier than I am I mean I look at them and ask myself How did you? or Why you and not me? Oh and God forbid its a friend I have noticed that I distance myself from pregnant friends like my best friend since kindergarden had her first baby 3 yrs ago and I saw him once now she has had #2 and its sad but I want nothing to do with her, also I have another friend who just had a beautiful baby boy but I did not want to be around her the whole time she was pregnant I barely went to her baby shower my DH had to basically make me go, and I have done this to a lot of my girlfriends because I cannot stand to see them get pregnant so easily when it is so difficult for me to.... Anyhow am I the only one who feels this way towards Preggers?

No, you're not the only one. There's a lot of that around here. You're jealous because they have something that you don't, yet. Seeing their babies reminds you of NOT having one, which upsets you. So you distance yourself. It's all perfectly normal. I would recommend explaining to close friends why you pull away, though. My friends understood when I did that. They gave me space to come to terms with it all.
And I've noticed that once I really get to know their babies, the jealousy passes. I don't see them as JUST babies, I see them as individuals. That helps, too.
Yeah, sometimes. I'm getting better though, I think. Maybe it's just growing up a little more and realizing that it may just not be my time yet, or maybe it's that there may be a possibility we can start TTC before too terribly long. I don't know. I wouldn't stay away from people because of it though -- it will likely just hurt their feelings. At least explain to them why it's hard for you, like Viv said.
