Sister had baby today

My sister had a baby today and we’re due to start ivf soon and I feel so bad for envying her. Feel like such mixed emotions one minute I’m happy then I feel like we’re missing such a big part of our lives x

Your feelings are only natural so don't be too hard on yourself. I felt exactly the same when my best friend had her baby and I'm sure others will relate too.

Try to keep your chin up, enjoy your niece/nephew and fingers crossed for your IVF cycle - hopefully you won't be too far behind your sister! x

I feel for you, my best friend is 2 weeks away from having a baby and my sister in law had her second 8 months ago. I really struggle with both. I agree with destiny I really wouldn’t wish this on anyone. Still doesn’t make it easier to deal with. My advice is visit for short periods of time, take your husband with you so you have support especially to start with xxx

I totally get how you’re feeling. My younger sister has a 3 yr old now and gets pregnant every time they try! Unfortunately they lost one but she’s currently 25weeks pregnant with number 2. I’ve just had IVF fail no.1 after 2.5 years of trying, I wanted to go out for an evening meal with her as my hubby is away on IVF failed confirmation day and she’s got no time for me at all. I’m sure it’s not that, but that’s how it feels!

My advice is to try to make the most of being an aunty. I have two nieces now, was so so jealous especially when first one was born, but I gritted my teeth and determined to be an awesome aunty. I now have a special place in a 5 and 3 year olds’ hearts, I get to have them for whole days at a time, and the 5 year old is super excited about me giving her a cousin in December.
