Why am I feeling bummed about this???

Found out today that two friends are PG and I am sooo HAPPY for them!

We are not yet ready to have kids but part of me is sad/jealous. I feel like it was back in the day when all my friends were getting engaged and I wasn't yet...I know this is so SILLY...We are so happy and I couldn't ask for anything more right now but can't help feeling how I am feeling...anyone else ever feel like this???

if it helps, i think it is completely natural to think that becuase it means they are having a life changing event. It is really hard, because you know intellectually that it is not the right time, but emotionally that is a different story. to you.

it's COMPLETELY natural. the past month i found out 2 of my friends are preg and just today another one! and yes, i fell into the 'darn! wish i was preg also' state. give it another couple of days and we'll be fine. unless you get news of another preg friend tomorrow.

I don't know. But I suffer from the same.

Thanks...glad to hear I am not alone in this...I need to finish my doctorate or at least coursework, I know it's not the right time but it's just hard sometimes.

You are not alone...

I feel the same way when I hear about my friends/relatives who are prego. It's a completely natural feeling...you want a baby and it hasn't happened yet...totally normal but when the time is right you will be blessed with a beautiful bundle of joy!

If it helps at all, my closest college friends did everything before me...got engaged, married...and i always felt 'behind' because those things hadn't happened yet for me. I was jealous that they seemed happy and things were really happening..however i think its true that good things come to those who wait b/c I met the greatest guy and when it finally happened I saw that all else around me wasn't as perfect as it seemed.

When you're ready for a baby it'll be the perfect time and perfect for you! Your feelings are natural though...I can definitely undestand :)
