Hi Alex,

I just want to send you a big pinch of baby dust and hope for the best for you. I have 2 close friends (2 couples) who are long term TTC and it's tough for them to spend time with me sometimes with my watermelon. From the other side of the fence, I have to say that I find myself feeling guilty for being pregnant (which I know is stupid) when I have friends who would give anything to have a shot.

It's always the way that when you want something and can't/don't have it, you notice everyone else who has it, whether it be a nice car, blue eyes, happy marriage...whatever it might be it's just one of those sucky realities.

Let people around you know that it's not a topic you want to talk about and they WILL be more sensitive to you. Sometimes it's just that they don't realise or feel like if they act like nothing's going on that you'll feel 'normal' and not feel singled out.

It's hard I'm sure, and I wish you all the best.
