bitter sweet (preg. mentioned)

My sister called today to break the news that she is pregnant with her first baby, and I started crying.  I am happy for her, I really am, but I am having a hard time with the fact that it is not me.  I know I?m being very selfish.  I hope my jealousy and selfishness subside so I can be supportive during her pregnancy and embrace being a first time Aunt. Sorry I?m being a downer.

Don't feel guilty or selfish...I think we've all been in your shoes before whether it was a sister, SIL, or even just a close friend breaking the news. ((HUGS))

I'm so sorry. It's okay to have conflicting and not very socially acceptable feelings, but you are allowed to feel the way you feel. I hope that the happy feelings begin to eclipse the sad ones for you, and you are feeling better about things really soon.

Lots of hugs.

I am so sorry you are going through this!  I hope you know that is completely normal.

I could have written this post.  It has been three weeks since I found about my sister's pg and still am having a hard time.  I sent a card and texts, but that is about all I can handle right now.  I am thinking it will get better with time.  Good Luck!  Hugs!

I'm so sorry you're going through this.  These announcements always sting and even more so sometimes when they come from the ones we love the most.    I hope with a little time, it will be easier for you.  I'm sure you'll be a great aunt!

I'm so sorry hun, I can't that can't be easy. Your feelings are not wrong at all! Big Huggs headed your way!

...hugs...  that sounds like a perfectly reasonable reaction to me.  I know deep down you are happy and excited for her, but it makes sense that you'd be jealous.  I hope you get your BFP very soon and can be pregnant together.
