[quote=Anonymous]I know part of my jealousy of pregnant women and new moms is that my pregnancy and post partum years were tough. Miserable while pregnant, then PPD, plus tons of upheaval in our lives (close family battling cancer, among other things). I know sometimes I just have to mourn not getting to have that be a gentle, happy time for our family. We still have lovely memories but also many challenging ones. My point is that sometimes the envy isn’t really what you think it is. I don’t actually want another baby, I’m very happy with my family as it is. But pregnant family and friends reminds me of a tough time. It usually means I just need to journal about it or talk to my therapist, and then the envy recedes and I can just be happy for them.[/quote]
