How can I stop feeling jealous? I recently went through a miscarriage after many years of trying to fall pregnant and having fertility treatments
Now a lot of my friends are announcing they are pregnant or having a baby and I’m just so jealous. I still congratulate them and I’m happy for them I just feel so bitter and jealous that I don’t have that :(
I don’t know if this is normal or I’m just a horrible person but I’d love some advice

This is normal, it’s grieving. It’s not jealousy. It’s natural because you want a baby so bad and it’s heartbreaking when it doesn’t happen, how you planned that it would. It’s a big thing and to struggle falling pregnant or having a miscarriage, is traumatic. Your feelings are normal and it would be so hard for you.
Sending out lots of positive vibes for you on this journey 🙏🏼
Very, very normal!
Be kind to yourself x
This is so very normal.
We tried to conceive for 6 years, with fertility meds and IVF and one missed miscarrage before we got our little miracle.
That whole time I cried at every fb pregnancy announcement. I was happy for them and I absolutely love all of those babies but I was devastated for myself and my husband.
