Is this normal?

Hi ladies,

I have posted here on occasion and always appreciate your advice. I am 8 weeks pregnant after suffering 2+ years with secondary If and two losses. So far the pregnancy is on track.

The other day I found out a lady I work with is pregnant with her second and I cried with jealousy. This makes little sense since I'm pregnant with my 2nd. Here is why I cried she is the THIRD person I "warned" about not waiting for number 2. three times ladies who told me they werent ready for their second I told them , hey it may take a while, look at me, blah,blah blah. they all then got pregnant before me. Two already had their babies, the last lady will deliver 5 months before me.

Why do I feel jealous? I know many others who had a longer struggle than mine. Will I get past the "struggle" I had to have my second child at some point? is this normal?

It's totally normal. I am (cautiously) expecting our third and it bothers me when I hear pregnancy announcements or when so and so pops out their third or fourth kid after a totally uncomplicated pregnancy and a 5 minute labor/delivery too. I'
