How do you deal with pregnancy envy?

I am feeling down seeing posts and people around me that are of the same age with babies and toddlers, basically children of their own. Seeing posts of pregnancy and baby toys when I have been TTC for awhile now. I have no children and been having baby fever for quite sometime now. It has been really difficult juggling being happy for them but also wanting and desiring the same for myself. How do you manage your emotions if you have ever experienced something similar to this? #ttc #pregnancyenvy #Sadness #babyfever As I am in my 30s, there's always a worry at the back of my mind that I could never bare children or it'll be too late

Understand how you feel. I was in a very low period myself when people around me started announcing their own pregnancies. I have been married for 5 years and seriously trying for 3 years. It didn’t help that my cousin and sil both got pregnant one month after they both got married. That was the lowest for me I broke down in the shower everyday thinking how come it is so easy for ppl around me. I have decided that I shouldn’t just sit around and wait so I went for a fertility check with my hubby. My advise is to do so asap cuz usually it takes a long time to get an appointment (via subsidized route) and the wait can be very long because every fertility treatment is based on their available appointment dates and your cycle. My total wait from first appt at poly clinic to my 1st fertility treatment was around 7months in total. I’m happy to share that I successfully got pregnant on our 2nd SOIUI try and is currently 12 weeks now. Take action and book that appointment if you haven’t already done so, I regretted sitting on it for so long and wasted so many months. :) all the best to you and all other still TTC. 💕
