Relieved: Sister's pg announcement

MegW21

I knew that my sister and her DH started TTC in May, and I was worried about how I'd feel when they were successful and announced their pg. Of course it only took them two months--she called last week and told me they're about 10 weeks. I am just so, so, relieved that I was happy for them and not jealous. I've been worried that I would have to fake happiness and it would ruin things between us. But when she told me, I just felt relieved that the waiting was over and so excited for my new nephew/niece! She knows about our IF and I think she was a little nervous about my response too.

On the other hand, it's kind of annoying how pg people always assume that people who have never been pregnant know NOTHING about it. I'm an obsessive researcher type, so I know a lot about what happens during pregnancy, etc. But when I asked if the morning sickness was bad, of course she told me all about how it's a misnomer to call it morning sickness, because it lasts the whole day, blah, blah, blah. I get that from a lot of pg people. Also I always get a dissertation on why they waited to tell people (higher chance of miscarriage in first tri) as tho they really think nobody else knows about that. Prob just too sensitive, tho.

 Sorry for the book!

I am glad to hear it went better than you expected. Announcements are always hard! And I know what you mean about pg people thinking that they are the only ones that know anything about it... frusterating!

I noticed from your siggy that we have very similar stories! Best of luck to you!!
