I find pg women obnoxious and smug. Especially when all they do is complain about symptoms. My BF is pg and I LOVE talking to her about her pg (she is 3 weeks behind what I would be) and it's weird that it doesn't bother me and I'm so genuinely happy for her. I'm even a little obsessed with her tiny bump. Other pople...not so much. I went and checked out the DD on the Dec 2012 board (which made me love you guys so much more for calling her out!!) and I couldn't even bring myself to lurk on any of the posts because all of the title just annoyed me. It left me with a bad taste. I think I'm a bit bitter today!! I would never admit these feelings to anyone, but I'm hoping you all understand!

I love my rainbow baby!
I can totally relate. I even hate the little "Hot Topic" links below from the other boards. While other women are complaining about the downsides of pregnancy, we're here banging our heads against a wall trying to get pregnant. They just seem so ungrateful.
Totally normal feelings. I'm very bitter and angry and basically hate all pg women. Some are worse than others though, my SIL for example. Just thinking about her and her being pg makes my blood boil.
I'm really glad that you are still close with your BFF and can be happy for her. I had a friend who was two weeks behind me and it hurt so much every time I saw her, it was just a constant reminder. Now that they have a 6 month old, it reminds me that I should too.

You are definitely not alone with this one! When I meet a pg woman now I can almost immedietly tell if she has suffered a loss before. The ones who have not complain about every little thing and the ones who have are overwhelmed with joy--even as they are hugging the porcelain god.

Yes, pregnant women are smug....
In fact, if you haven't already heard this song by Garfunkle and Oats. I laughed so hard the first time I saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJRzBpFjJS8
But seriously, when I lurk on 1st tri, my stomach starts to turn at all of the posts about registries and strollers etc.
When I was on 1st tri back in November prior to my 1st m/c in December, everyone was talking about wanting to do a big "reveal" during the holidays with their families. And there were a bunch of people all disappointed because they were afraid other family members would steal their thunder, or they were bummed when their family's world didn't screech to a halt the moment they announced their 4-week long pregnancy at the Thanksgiving table. Even before my loss, I was shaking my head and just thinking "what? are these women 12 years old?"
There is no good thing about my losses. But I believe that I have grown as a result of them. They have helped me remember what is important and what is just petty stupid nonsense.
I absolutely understand those feelings! It's been almost 5 months and I still have an extremely hard time seeing pregnant women. I know it's just jealously (for me at least) but I can't help it.
**HUGS** I hope that you are able to have a take home baby of your own soon!!
First of all.OMFG I peed my pants at that video! Love it, Thanks for sharing! Secondly, most of the time I also feel as though I have grown and it has made me feel so much more greatful for all of the good things in my life and I know I am lucky in other ways.
Reading everyone's responses made me smile today - thanks ladies!! I hate that I feel this way sometimes, but it's good to know it's "normal".
