Very grateful to be PG!

I just had lunch with a friend who had a m/c a few weeks ago. My heart breaks for her. She tried for almost a year and was on cloud nine. Sad

Makes me so grateful for being PG!

    Sad :(

    I feel the same way.  We had to do a lot to get pregnant and wasn't sure I ever would - every day I wake up so thankful. It really hurts sometimes to hear people constantly complain about being pg, etc. I just can't even imagine. Some people just don't realize how lucky they are.

    that is sad. My friend has been trying tfor awhile, and i actually felt bad telling her that i was. I can't imagine how hard it is to want something so bad and it just not work. Devastating. my heart goes out to those trying/or whom have lost

    I agree but complaining doesn't really bother me. Some people (my one sister) are just complainers! Its the people that I see at work that spit kids out left and right that 1) can't afford them 2) aren't willing to do crap for them and 3) could do with out having the 6th child from a different man. That gets me!

    I'm grateful as well.... but wasn't when I first found out, to be honest. I was crying hysterically for days because I didn't want to be pregnant. That's just the truth. I thought it would completely ruin my life, and I wasn't even sure I wanted to keep it. But when I thought about some of my family members who have spent thousands of dollars on trying to have a baby, and I, by accident, got this miracle... I couldn't see my life going any other way. Now, my FI and I are very excited and welcoming to this new life!

    I'm thankful and scared to death!  My SIL and BF both struggled for years to get pg, (fertility meds-the works), and it only took me 3 months off BC.  I am so nervous that I will be a terrible mother.  (My mother only saw me every other weekend and then completely abandoned me by the time I was 8.  I know what NOT to do, but I didn't get a good example of how to do it well!)

    I feel so lucky to be PG, too. We weren't even trying and sure, our timing could have been a little better financially. But if when we had begun trying, we had been unable, I would have been devastated. I am thrilled that our little one is healthy and on her way.

    I was actually just thinking this myself. One of my husbands employees and his wife just lost their baby last week, and they were due a few days after us. It makes me so sad for them, but at the same time so thankful our baby is doing well.

    I hear ya here...  complaining a little bit now and then is normal, but after what I've been through, to see these people pop out kids like it was a piece of cake and hop right into the next one when they can't support the one before, that's what gets me.

    I second (or third) Mrspink77. It's the people who truly have no business having kids that really get to me.

    I work in a hospital, and when I was TTC I needed to go to the nursery one day. There was a big bruiser of a baby that you couldn't help but notice. I asked the nurse about him, and she said "Well, he's been here about two weeks. He's still waiting for a family." Clearly his mother had either left him or had him taken away. It made me want to grab him and run.

    Complaining about symptoms is normal and reasonable, I think, as long as it's not overdone. People ask me how being pg has been and I say not bad, but I wouldn't recommend it just for the heck of it! Wink

    It is sad.  My BF has been trying for 4 years and I was actually scared to tell her I was pregnant because she knew we hadn't been trying for very long.  On top of that her other BF is pregnant too so I was even more scared to tell her.
