TTC after 35

jealous of my cat

Am I a lunatic?  I'm 41 and I have an 11 year old son and I'm dying for another baby.  I wanted my son to be able to experience pregnancy and birth, and it doesn't look like it's happening for me, so I allowed our cat to get pregnant.  She's getting wider every day, and everyone's getting excited for the new kittens.  But I'm suddenly feeling very depressed and worthless, and beating myself up for literally being jealous of my cat.  Can that possibly be normal?

  • The worst thing about it is the cat isn't too happy about being pregnant.  She seems to be really confused, and is not liking waddling around.  I look at her and want to yell at her to appreciate what's going on with her.  And then I fee

  • She is due somewhere around May 6th. I think I'm so thrown by this because it came out of left field. I can brace myself when I hear about someone else getting pregnant, but my cat flipping me out? This was a planned pregnancy - and I think there must

  • Thank you so much for your support.  I feel like it's a pipe dream at this point.  I waited too long.  My son is autistic, and I wanted to get him to a good place before I had another baby that would take up all my time.  I j
