How do you deal with pregnancy envy?

I am feeling down seeing posts and people around me that are of the same age with babies and toddlers, basically children of their own. Seeing posts of pregnancy and baby toys when I have been TTC for awhile now. I have no children and been having baby fever for quite sometime now. It has been really difficult juggling being happy for them but also wanting and desiring the same for myself. How do you manage your emotions if you have ever experienced something similar to this? #ttc #pregnancyenvy #Sadness #babyfever As I am in my 30s, there's always a worry at the back of my mind that I could never bare children or it'll be too late

I didn't deal with my emotions well, I had a chemical pregnancy in 2021 which didn't made it to week 5. I was depressed and thinking why me? After the incident, I opened up my social media and kept seeing pregnancy announcements every now and then and I even had to mute their post and stories altogether. It took me months to accept that maybe it was not my time yet and before I could finally look at pregnancy posts and be happy for others. We tried for 1 year 9 months after the incident and was disappointed month after month when my period came. On the 1 year 9th month itself which was last year Sep, I was expecting to have my period but it didn't come. I tested super strong positive just 2 days of being late and I'm approaching 20 weeks next week. All I wanted to say is, it's ok to feel emotions all over the place when you're TTC-ing but don't worry your time will come too ok. The journey and the wait will be worth it, in the meantime enjoy your life stay safe and healthy! 🥰🥰
