Focus on your Friend

Remember, your friend is extremely excited about her news. Plus, she is probably worried about you, especially if she knows you have been trying to become pregnant. If this is the case, be honest with her. You may be surprised just how much support your friend will be able to offer you.

It is important that you avoid being angry with your friend. Naturally, it is out of your friend’s control whether you get pregnant first or if she does. Because of this, make sure you spend time focusing your anger in other places, like physical exercise. Journaling your feelings is also a great way to get them out in the open so they don’t consume you.

 

Have Conversations

In most instances, you will have no idea what your friend went through to become pregnant in the first place. Talking about their journey could be something that helps you have a positive outlook on your own. Many women struggle for years before they are able to conceive. If your friend is in this situation, you may be able to connect more with her when you discuss both of your stories.

In addition to this, your friend may also be able to offer you some advice. With this advice, you could find the missing link between trying to conceive and succeeding. Having conversations with those who have announced their pregnancy can also help you deal with your emotions in a healthy way, which could also make it easier to conceive.

Take Some Time for Yourself

Finally, when you are feeling overwhelmed by all the pregnant women around you, don’t be afraid to take a moment to yourself. When you are trying to conceive, it is difficult to be around pregnancy discussions constantly. Instead, try to limit the number of events you attend where pregnancy will be a major topic of discussion.

However, the most important thing is that you have a great support system. Having someone that you can vent your frustrations to or complain to is helpful in a number of ways. This could come in the form of a significant other, a best friend or even a mother, but the important thing is to have someone to lean on when you are struggling to conceive.
