So I was reading my book last night (one of Nora Roberts' books, love her stories!) and anyway the main character in the book found out that she was pregnant....and I wanted to reach through the pages and smack her lol. Guess I'm still a little uppity, and just a bit jealous yet too! Please tell me this will go away!!

    ((Hugs)), I have been there, I hate when sitcoms we watch all of a sudden develop a pregnancy story line. I know it's not real but for some reason it still stings.

    I pretty much stopped watching TV this season because of all the pregnant and infertility story lines.  I use TV and reading to escape not be reminded of my sh!tty a$$ situation.

    I am on the fence about the Breaking Dawn movie now too.  I sooo loved the books and seen all the movies on the day they came out. Now I'm considering skipping it.  So nope you aren't pathetic unless I am too.

    I understand where you're coming from. When you want that baby so bad, even seeing fictional characters get pregnant can sting! It sucks, and it's hard not to let it get you down. You just gotta try and stay positive I guess.

    Still stings for me too! This fall was the worst for me with new TV shows. Seems like all of them had a pregnancy storyline and I was just a month post m/c. I havn't quit any though but it is tough. ((Hugs))

    I am the same way. I get upset when I see a pregnant person on TV or if I read it in a book. It's really hard and hopefully it will get easier with time.

    Yep!  I am still going to see Breaking Dawn, but some of the fun is gone now!  Sad but true.
