Anyone else get jealous ?

My sis in law just told us she is pregnant and due in September.  I am very happy for her, this will be her 2nd child too.  But whenever I find out someone else is pregnant I get a little bit jealous.  Do you ladies or am I just a lil weird? I hop to have a 3rd child eventually (like in 2 years) so it's not the end of being pregnant for me.  Just wanted to see if others felt the same!

Re: Anyone else get jealous ?

  • I was this way until DD came along.  I can't really comment now b/c I haven't had any new pregnancy news in or around me.  I can say I feel that way when I see a BF Mom now that we are done BF (complications).

  • Totally me.  And, I don't know if we are done having kids or not.  Growing up I always said I wanted four kids but then when I got pregnant with DD3 we said we were done.  We even talked about DH getting a vasectomy and I have talked to my doctor about our options (which one is better, me to have a tubal or DH to have the vasectomy).  But when DD3 came along, I can't help but think that our family is not complete.  DH thought the same way for a while, but with DD1 and DD2 getting involved in things, I think he's starting to feel more like we're done. 

    So, yes, I get jealous of the women who are pregnant.

  • Yes! I have baby fever again. Now that I have a baby (and kinda know what I'm doing), I know having a baby doesn't cure it; it makes it stronger.

  • This is me also! My SIL and friend are both pregnant ... Whenever I see FB updates like the baby is kicking like crazy I get sooo jealous. It has kind of died down a bit recently, but I feel this way even when I see a stranger who is pregnant. I think I need help.

  • Sort of.  I do NOT want to get pregnant again anytime soon but I do miss the excitement of being pregnant and the anticipation for his arrival.

  • Yes, absolutely. I will be shocked if my baby fever/jealousy ever went away. I've had it sooo long!!

  • YES! I agree with pp, I miss the excitement of being pg and everything else that went along with it. We will be waiting to TTC until we buy a house (hopefully this summer!), though.

    This does not give me hope, Elizabeth, knowing you have four beauties yourself.  I was hoping that if I were to have another child this feeling would go away.  I sometimes understand how the Duggar's have 19 Kids and Counting.

    This is how I feel.  I do miss all the kicks and anticipation.

  • I feel so jealous of my friends who are having baby girls.  We have 3 already and are pretty much done and I so wanted another daughter, though I love my baby boy and wouldn't trade him for a second.  When they tell me they're expecting, I secretly hope they'll have a boy like me...is that wrong?
