Re: Am I a bad person

I had this happen many times in the past several months Chat Icon Chat Icon When I found out my DH's cousin was pregnant, I cried for about an hour.

Remember.. it's not that you don't feel happy for THEM, it's that you feel sooooo sad for YOU!! That doesn't make you a bad person... it just makes you NORMAL!

it's natural..you dont mean to feel bad..i am happy for anyone who is pregnant..i really am but every time i see someone who is i am reminded that i am not..so i let myself feel that way for a second..then i say to myself good for them,one day that WILL be me..and it WILL be you too

Re: Am I a bad person

You are not a bad person! I had the same thing happen to me with my cousins wife. And on top of that, she named her baby boy the name I have always wanted, the entire family knew what name I wanted....and she did it anyway!
Hang in there!

Re: Am I a bad person

You are certainly not a bad person! We have all had those feelings. I can't tell you how many times we've found out that a friend or family member is pregnant, and I've burst into tears. I always hate feeling that way, but the feelings are natural. Let yourself feel what you're feeling. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Am I a bad person

If this makes you a bad person than I think many of us are bad people. You're not alone in feeling this way. We all want it so bad. I found out between 2 weeks that 5 or 6 people I knew were pregnant. I told my husband I would kill myself if he told me of someone else. Well, he did and I am still here. I want so bad to be happy for all of them especially my good friend who also had a complication but it's so hard to be happy sometimes. I felt like it was slap in the face. All of these people are due in the beginning of June. Same time!!! I cant cry about it anymore. I have to be happy on the outside. But on the inside it hurts like he11. Chat Icon

That's what I thought.

But yes, it hurts when people get pregnant when you want to so badly.
