When my sister was carrying my nephew and she would get the morning sickness or couldn't get comfortable. I kept telling her to enjoy every second of it because for some they won't ever feel that. And I would tear up about it.
It's like I feel like i've givin up hope in a way to have a baby but than again not so. I just was jealous that she could feel that fetus in her and feel him move around. To feel life being and growing inside your belly. To me it's the most unbelievable amazing thing.
And I'm certainly jealous of it.
Have you ever felt that way to a friend or family member because they got pregnant and your still waiting?

I did felt the same way when all the friends whom I know of were getting pregnant and to think that I married earlier than them. But I did not lose hope because I know that God has a purpose for everything and indeed after four years of waiting I am now pregnant with our first baby.
The feeling was really so great, I never thought that it will also happen to me. I didn't have morning sickness although I do have foods that I don't like to eat and some scents that I don't want to smell.
Just keep on hoping that God will also grant you your baby. Keep on praying to Him because He is the life giver, baby dust to you dear!

Wow when I started reading your post That felt like us. We've been married for 7 years longer than most of our friends. And still no baby. But we've been trying and working on getting pregnant for about 4 months or so. Just was kind of hoping we'd get pregnant before I turn 30 in Sept. But maybe I'm giving myself to much pressure. It's weird I don't feel pressure to get pregnant I'm relaxed so not sure what's going on. Than again maybe worrying about it doesn't help. But thank you for giving me some dust :)

I'm sorry. Are there medical reasons why you've been unable to conceive? My ex and I were trying for over a year and still could not get pregnant. My sister already had a son and didn't have any problems getting pregnant. I finally was pregnant only to miscarry right away. Months passed and then I did get pregnant, but it was a high risk pregnancy and I had to take progesterone so I wouldn't miscarry, as well as take a long list of precautions. I was only pregnant for a couple of months when my sister announced that she too, was pregnant with her 2nd child and that she and her husband tried only once and poof, she's pregnant. I thought it was rude of her to rub it in my face that it only took her 1 try.

My doctor said when I was 26 would be the last year I'd have a easy time at conception because of my genes. And they said that to my sister as well and she got pregnant at 31. So I say anything is possible. And her pregnancy happened when shew as depressed and got drunk on her birthday. So... with unexpecting it just happened.
And yes I can see it being a bit rude of your sister to say that. But we all have different bodies and when it's time it's time. I wish you all the best :)

I don't think I've been jealous, but I've certainly wished hard for it to happen to me, too. It was hard to be trying and trying and have friends and relatives get pregnant so easily. (One friend has two children - both times, she got pregnant the same month they started trying).

Hmmm you are feeling jealous because you want a baby yet you are not yet pregnant. Try your best not to feel jealous, just be happy for her my friend. Do not feel that resentment, she is your sister and when that baby will come out, treat it as your own till you are blessed with one. Because if you will feel this resentment, the blessing might not come fast as you want it to be.
But honestly? That morning sickness IS NEVER GREAT NOR GOOD! I was pregnant thrice and i hated those times and would never want to feel that way again. In all honesty, i never really love my pregnancies..yes seeing the baby was a wonderful feeling and should be felt by all who want to be mothers too..but the pregnancy part really was not one i would love to have again. So three is enough for me.
Hope you will get pregnant soon and will have a baby in the future.

Thank you for your hopes.
And I know that it's a different feeling. But to just feel it no matter how bad it is. To me is a mircale. And my nephew is now 8 months and I love the time I get to spend with him. He lights up a room and is so precious.

Yes I have. I am having a very hard time keeping a baby past the first few months right now and it seems that I get very upset even mad at times that those around me who have kids don't apreciate them. They will ignore them it feels like at times and why should they have them and I none? I know it's a fleeting thought that just seems too creep up on you, but don't give up hope. I have not. I have a lot of medical issues too. I will have you in my prayers.

I completely understand what you mean. But I truly believe there's reasons for everything. So if it's not ment to be I'll have to learn to accept it. Thank you for keeping me in your prayers. I wish you all the luck in the world.
