No. Sometimes being a friend means putting your own pain & trauma aside to celebrate their wins in life. Our traumas are our own responsibility in those moments.

Yeaaaah, no. That’s just being a selfish, awful friend. I struggle with infertility and will never try to make my friends feel bad about being pregnant… such an odd take.

The comments on here are appalling …. It doesn’t take a lot to be kind and take other peoples feelings into account … if you know your announcement is going to hurt someone because of their struggles why on earth wouldn’t you want to ensure some of that pain is eased with a more private inform? Taking others pain into account doesn’t take away from your own happiness and the lack of empathy here really shows!

They’re not responsible for your struggles or triggers. Why should they spare your feelings when it’s THEIR moment to be happy.

As someone who miscarries and has yet to have a child, I’ve learned that it is not other people’s job to tiptoe around me. I know it’s hard, but people aren’t bragging, they’re sharing. That’s like saying I can’t tel my friend I went to lunch with my mom, because her mom has passed. Or that one of my friends can’t talk about being excited to be engaged, because I’ve been in an abusive relationship. The reality is, it’s yours to carry. Other people can lighten that burden, but it’s not theirs to handle.

No if you can’t celebrate your friends successes and achievements because of you’re own personal reasons then you aren’t a good friend.

I’m so sorry you feel this way and it’s your reality, but I’ll say this gently as a woman who went thru several rounds of fertility treatments to get pregnant with my first & at times felt I’d never be a mom… your friends shouldn’t need to add tip toe around you. It sucks hearing their news, but it’s your responsibility to process those feelings

Unspoken expectations are premeditated resentments. Your viewpoint is valid but unless you tell your friend how you feel, you can’t be upset. I would much rather be told in person. Everyone is SO different so just make sure to communicate before things happen!

while i can understand as someone who also is infertile (and my husband as well), this is the kind of take that isolates you/makes you difficult to be around. your loved one’s joy should also be your joy no matter what your personal hardships are

Nope! Being a friend sucking up your own feelings at time to support your friend

Friendship would be over immediately. Could never let my child around someone who hated them before they were born and had a jealous heart over their life.

To the people in the comments- this obviously doesn’t mean she won’t be happy for whoever’s pregnant but she needs time to process her own feelings before she can be happy for them. If you think you absolutely need to tell someone in person and can’t just send a text while you know it’s a sensitive topic for them YOURE the bad friend. It costs nothing to be considerate of someone else’s feelings.

oof this hits so hard, the way people dismiss your feelings bc it's 'their moment' 😭 like yeah you can be happy for them AND still be hurting inside, it's not mutually exclusive. i swear my body does this to me too sometimes, i track my cycle and symptoms in the Endora app, it helps me see how my PCOS affects my mood swings so i don't feel like i'm just making it up in my head...💝

This generation is fried. Don’t tell me good news to my face. Text it to me so I can only think about how it affects me. Why don’t I have any friends?? 🙄🙄

are you not planning to be involved in your friends life at all after she has the baby or does she need to tiptoe that too

As someone who has been in this position, it will do you more good to come to terms with the fact that this is a very selfish take. And I say that with all love. You expect your friends to be there through your journey- it’s expected for you to be there through theirs. Unfortunately it does suck, but it’s also the right thing to do. Your friends haven’t done anything to deserve tiptoeing around your emotions.

no I've lost 5 I will NEVER make someone tip toe around me. I'm going to holler full of excitement and cry with them tears of happiness and give them the biggest hug because it's so exciting for someone to find out they're pregnant! it's a happy exciting moment. and they deserve to enjoy that moment with friends and family. if I'm their friend I'm going to react as a friend. cause that huge blessing is their moment! . ✨ you're upset which is valid but that just proves how important pregnancy is for you, so imagine how just as important it was for her too.

I texted my friends and sister who I knew were unsuccessfully TTC that I’d be announcing it. It was an unplanned baby #5 for me and I knew it would sting. I’m holding space for you and sending you hugs dear.
