If one more person.....

says their pregnant, I'm going to scream!!. It's bad enough that my baby fever won't go away but I have counted 3 co-workers, my best friend and 5 people on FB that are pregnant right now. 90% of those people just found out and are all around 6 weeks.

sorry I just had to get that out. I'm truely happy for them but at the same time i'm super jealous!

I completely understand how you feel (hugs).  Seriously though, who posts on FB that they're 6 weeks pregnant?  That's weird to me...

I have no idea. I waited until close to 12 weeks to be in the "safe zone". At least wait until your first ob appt at 8 weeks.

I am so sorry! I know the feeling! I think we have 7 people out on maternity leave right now, one just returned and 4 more will be leaving for maternity leave soon.

OMG, I know exactly how you feel. It's like, dammit, can I please catch up? My cousin that's 4 years younger than me just had her THIRD.

There's definitely something in the water! I just found out 2 of my co-workers are pregnant.  My department is 99% female so I feel like I'm attending a baby shower every day when I listen to their conversations about pregnancy and motherhood.  Ugh!

You can still miscarry after 12 weeks. There is no "magic time"  that will mean you won't miscarry.  I lost a baby at 19 weeks.

You are definitely not alone in this! I'm in the same boat. I currently have 3 co-workers that are all pregnant right now (out of a 5 person department no less). Not to mention all the FB people that are also having babies.

I know how you feel....it just is bothering you more b/c of where you are in your life.  It's how I feel...I feel like everyone around me is either getting engaged, getting married or having kids and I'm just sitting and watching   Hanging in there and try to not let it bother you.

You can lose a baby at any point including 40 weeks delivering still born but the majority of pregnancies miscarry before 12 weeks. Until you go to your first ob appt and hear a heartbeat then I really think people shouldn't be annoucing pregnancies. I ended up in preterm labor at 23 weeks so I know the risks.

Its super irritating right now but once all the fuss is overwith I'll be fine.

I feel like I'm one of the lucky ones...I don't have baby fever. I don't ever want children, and no I won't change my mind once I meet "the right man" because the "right man" in my mind is one who also doesn't want children.  I am however getting sick of everyone I know talk about their S/O and it seems like everyone I know is getting married/engaged/in a relationship.  I feel like a lonely lost soul sometimes...But I just smile and think about where my life is now and I don't worry so much.   Hang in there, it will all be okay
