End of vent

Babies, child & pregnancy mentioned, not mine I feel your pain. I work at a school, 4 co workers pregnant, one just had a baby last week. My neighbors directly above me have a baby I have to see everyday, she's 42 years old. My DHs brothers girlfriend has a baby that my MIL talks about daily. The drug addict lady who lives across the street from me and doesn't have custody of her young child, guess what, preggo. Not to mention every time I go online I have to see some new celebrity that's pregnant or how cute Mila kunis is. I'm literally surrounded by pregnant people or people who have just had a baby. I hate to be the why not me type, but seriously IF is just not fair. I needed to vent also!

Ugh! I feel your pain.

- We have TWELVE pregnant teachers at my school. (There are only 35 of us)

-2 out of my 4 closest friends are pregnant both due this fall...one literally got pregnant the week she got married.

-SIL is pregnant with #4

- 3 pregnant cousins and one with newborn twins

- neighbors just had their 3rd little girl (stork in the yard and all)

And you're right the constant baby pictures/videos on FB along with women who post constant "bump updates" are enough to drive me batty!

You're not alone!

Oh my can I relate to this post. Everyone but me (and all of you) is pregnant! It's so infuriating! I think my husbands best friends wife is pregant too. That one is gonna kill me.... Glad I'm not alone in this

HUGS!

This is part of the reason I stopped looking at Facebook.

I'm so sorry, but it is AWESOME that you won the $80!! Perhaps treat yourself to something wonderful that a pregnant woman couldn't enjoy, like allover haircolor, a fancy sushi dinner, or a day at the amusement park?

@annaclaire256 Holy mackerel, what's in the water and where can I get me some??!!

Seriously girl! Your not kidding!! Four girls I work with are preggo and I have to see them almost every time I work...I feel your pain!

LindseyM2012 · July 2014

Oh my goodness, yes! I have "unfollowed" everyone I am friends with on FB who post pictures or statuses of their pregnancy or kids. I'm still friends with them, but their updates and posts just don't get thrown in my face. This includes my best friend of 22 years.

@AnnaClaire256, that percentage of pregnant teachers is just CRAZY! I don't know how you could make it through the day.

I feel like that so often. All of our friends that are married have kids that live locally. I am part of a team at school and it seems everyone or their spouse is pregnant or just had a baby. At the end of the school meeting everyone was joking about not drinking the water around there. If only I could find that fountain, it hurt a lot sitting there knowing we were getting no where with things.

@BunnyBerry‌ @LindseyM2012‌ @Rcvb22‌

It's insane. It feels like every faculty meeting has someone making a "special announcement"

We have three teachers due in one week. I found out today our school custodian is also pregnant. There are only TWO of us at the school who are married and don't have kids/aren't pregnant....and her husband is in Afghanistan.

Allllll these women want to talk about are their pregnancies or their babies' milestones nonstop. I feel so isolated. You'd think working with kids would be a trigger but no...it's the 13 baby showers I'll have to attend over the next 6 months!

AnnaClaire256 · July 2014

Yep @LLM100811‌ three of them are due the last week of September. Evidently they're all "New Years babies." What I wouldn't give to just have a wild night out with my husband and wind up pregnant. Must be nice....sigh.

theholmanherd · July 2014

Too many to list or even keep track of. It sucks!

dancerspose · July 2014

Wow! That is insane! I definitely feel your pain as well. My FB feed is covered in nothing but babies. I've actually been considering taking a break from FB as a result because it just seems to feul my feelings of inadequecy. The one that put me over the edge was when my husband's best friend's girlfriend got pregnant when they weren't even trying. She's also a few year's older than me (in her mid-30s). A few weeks later I found out my SIL is pregnant. This will be the first grandchild in my family so now everyone is looking to us to know when we're going to make an annoucement...I wish....

Aww man @RNCrystal! That is rough. I'm not dealing with as many preggos as you but it does seem that someone close to me is ALWAYS pregnant and I can't escape it! My closest friend at work is due in November. Another friend/coworker's wife is due in October. A long time family friend's wife is due in December. Ugh, so unfair!
