It doesn't suck for them, but it's still difficult for the rest of us. I can be genuinely happy for my cousin who had the same due date as me, for example, while still being really sad that I have now had two miscarriages. I was supposed to be eight months now. I'm not. Then I was supposed to be 9 weeks. I'm not. It is hard, particularly as I see pregnant women all around me and wonder if I will ever have another child. It's nice that you don't feel this way, but many people do. You should be thankful not to have to suffer this too.

yes, I am very thankful not to be a jealous person.

You may not be jealous but you sure are judgemental and lacking in empathy. Might want to climb down off that high horse before you fall on your arse.

Same boat. I was planning on announcing at Christmas but misscarried in November. My best friend announced at Christmas-- exact same due date as I would have had. Many, many other announcements, too.

It's not jealousy because no one begrudges these women their children or pregnancy. It's sadness for ourselves that we don't have that as well.

I have the same feelings as the OP, but I don't really consider it to be jealousy, just sadness at what might have been.

I am fortunate to not have had any miscarriages, but I have not been able to try for a baby for the last two years because of my own health problems. It is hard to see everyone around you pregnant or happy with their own children and feel like that is the only thing you want in the world. Especially when people feel the need to say stuff to you like "oh you are lucky you can do whatever you want, sleep/drink/travel etc". If they only knew.

Are you also thankful for being a nasty witch?

I'm happy for them but it just makes me more sad for my own situation.

You clearly don't or won't understand what the OP's trying to say. Move on.

So many! I'm in the same boat and it really sucks. Just trying to stay positive, though it's very hard. Sending you the best wishes for 2016!

I had a mc and d&c in December 2013. There were at least 8 FB announcements including from my brother and SIL. It was hard.

Everything will work out. Focus on your blessings.

Yes I've seen many announcements the last few days. As I type this I'm cramping. I'm scheduled to start Ivf in late January. So wishing I were pregnant now but after years of trying I highly doubt it. I did have some dizziness this month that made me wonder and I know we timed it right but what's the chance?
I try to remain thankful for many things in my life and have faith it will all work out in one way or another.

I was supposed to be 7 weeks today. Was going to tell my husband on xmas eve. When I started seeing all the Facebook and Instagram posts about cams wishes coming true I was happy for these mamas. But I'm not going to lie and say it doesn't hurt seeing them all be announced. Anyone else in this boat?
