Baby Envy!

in Babies on the Brain
So I have not told anyone in my family that I am TTC yet. But I found out that my younger male cousin, who just got engaged, accidentally got his fiance pregnant. They are happy about it, and I am trying to be happy for them, but I feel so jealous that they did not even have to try, and they will have a baby before Christmas! Has anyone found a way to get over the baby envy?

    If you have a facebook, hide them so you don't see all their pregnancy posts. I had to do that with a few people.

    Jealousy is a normal emotion but don't let it effect your relationships.

    Like GM said, their pregnancy didn't steal your baby. Do what you gotta do to get over it and then move on. If that means hide them from FB, go for it. Just so you know

    First I all, I completely understand your feelings.

    That being said, if you were to get upset about every family member, drug addict, deadbeat garbage DNA and 12 year old getting pregnant before you and obviously under worse circumstances, yo

    I completely understand. My husband and I have been TTC over a year now and I see people who are getting pregnant without trying and it makes me so sad. Just yesterday I saw about 6 women in the park who were pregnant. For me I don't think it ever goes

    Had that when we were thinking about getting married (friends, cousins etc got married before us) and as well with baby fever. Lots of friends and cousins getting pregnant before us and it's frustrating. You just have to focus on yourself.
