[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, that's the worst thing about it. It *feels* selfish to have these feelings. It's not. It's normal.

That said, I think it's selfish to be put out about pregnant women in the elevator, when you're on the way to yet another transvaginal ultrasound for ayet another  IUI. I've caught myself feeling  that way, and that's selfish and entitled. They're doing you no harm![b] Their baby isn't taking away from the overall supplies of babies out there!

And neither is your friend's baby or happy news. But it is a very personal and visible reminder of what you don't have and may not get. And you can lose friendships over it, if someone tells you in a way that shows they have no regard for your feelings.

I had those thoughts, especially on the way to and from the OB for my miscarriage(s) follow ups. I always reminded myself that I don't know what those women went through to get pregnant, they very well might of had the same struggle I did. Now I know a   few "My husband just looks at me and I'm pregnant!" women that love to talk about it and I still want to strangle them even though I'm pregnant. Just stfu and keep it to yourself!
