Valentine’s baby

Welcome visitor from to Getpregnantblog.com .

Get pregnant on Valentine’s? It sounds so romantic. Like all those stories of people who accidentally get pregnant in some serendipitous way. I have all but given up hope of getting pregnant without the aid of modern medicine invading the conception process.

I constantly live in fear of people announcing their pregnancies. I remember for Christmas noticing that one of my co-workers (whom am not very fond of) seemed fatter and had bigger boobs. I spent so much of that party wondering if she was pregnant, only to have her confide that she thought she might be but two pregnancy tests said no.

“But anyway, discovering she is pregnant is always a surprise to her because her cycles are irregular.” What a concept! I know like clockwork, when my period is due, when am ovulating, when I can expect PMS. It seems such a luxury to just be ignorant of the internal workings of your reproductive system. Its seems like such a miracle to just ‘discover’ completely unexpectedly that you are pregnant. I so wish that could be me.

I have to admit that one of the reasons I don’t like her is because she has had two babies in the time that I have been trying to have one. And she’s not the only one. My office is like a hot fertility zone – one woman is on her third pregnancy. It always feels like a personal slap in the face when I see a protruding stomach appear on one of them. I feel so inadequate and jealous and ashamed of that jealousy. I am constantly in fear of hearing someone announce a pregnancy.
