[quote=Anonymous]Sorry but I agree with OP to some extent.  Many of these women deserve our senstivity and compassion but sometimes it's ridiculous.  When I got pregnant with my first child my SIL actually tried to talk me into an abortion when my pregnancy ran into complications early on.  She then gave my brother hell for visiting me in the hospital when DD was born and refused to come herself.  He said she was jealous that I got pregnant first and 'didn't think it was fair because I wasn't even tryng'.  Very childish.  What was supposed to be the happiest day of my life was marred by her selfish behavior.  She should've been happy that after all my health issues that she had a healthy niece.  Would she have felt better if my child were born with an illness, etc???   With her, I think it was a maturity issue but to be honest, a woman like that has no business having kids in the first place.  To this day, my brother and I don't speak and they are still childless.  I hate that he allowed her to be so controlling but I have to respect his decision re: distance to avoid drama.  I have two friends that had a m/c and difficulty ttc while we were trying for #2.  I was very sensitive to not bring it up to them.   I always cringe when someone asks a childless friend when they are going to start their family.  Whether somebody doesn't want kids or is having difficulty conceiving, that's a very personal question and IMO insensitive. At the same time, some women can become consumed and bitter.[/quote]
