Q: Anyone Else?

Do any of you other preggo ladies get jealous of other pregnant women that live near you, or that you're friends, or at least aquainted with?

I find myself getting soo jealous of other girls who are pregnant, too! I don't know why, it just drives me nuts! I'm like, "hello! I'm pregnant! My time to shine!" .Maybe it's just because i'm naturally a very jealous person.

Just wondering if anyone else felt like this.

Not so much jealous of other pregnant women, but I got soooo upset when family didn't call to congratulate me once they found out! My husband told his family, and they were kinda like "ok."

i mean, hello... I'm .P.R.E.G.N.A.N.T! Would it really kill them to sound a little enthused?

Lol..Yesss girl!! My brother in law had known this girl for like 3 months. At the time I was freshly pregnant. She lived in texas and he lived in new orleans. We finally met when she came into town and was adoring my belly and asking soo many questions, yadda yadda. Anyways..About 2 months later she's like ohh i'm pregnant!! Now they'd only known each other for about 4 1/2 months now and she's saying she's about a month pregnant.

At 1st I was excited for her because my daughter would have a cousin close in age to play with!! But then everyone was like "don't you think she's trying to steal the lime light away from you and your daughter?" like i'll have my baby and everyone will be all about us, then when she has her baby, me and my daughter will be forgotten about and pushed to the back! Well once someone got that into my head, I was soooo mad!!

I had my daughter and the girl is like 7 months pregnant, due in december. Her and my brother in law make a year on september 11th and she's already bookoo pregnant.
So now they're fighting because they really don't know each other well enough to have a child together. And to boot she goes to the same doctor I did just because I went to him!!!!! Grrr....But i'm over it now!! I can't wait to hold a new little baby!!

Well what i'm getting at is of course it's normal for you to be jealous of other women being pregnant. Whether they're "more" pregnant than you, or people notice them being pregnant and not you, just know that you'll get your time to shine girlfriend!!!!!!!!!
