writes:Ok, so this is something I have been dealing with for the past few months. Since I got married, my partner and I have been ready for the next big step. A baby! Except, it hasn't happened as qucikly as we'd like, but we haven't been trying long enough for doctors to be concerned. 7 months, 8 if you include the 1st month I came off b/c. My problem lies more with the fact that I am INSANELY jealous of pregnant women. I feel that childish tantrum feeling of "ITS NOT FAIR!" coming on everytime I see someone pregnant. For example, the other day, as I was leaving work I was casually announced of a co- workers pregnancy, and I had to try really hard to make it back to my car before the tears started. I am ashamed of the person I am turning into, and my husband doesn't like it either. It's stopping me being happy for people, I've even recently refused to go to a cousins baby shower recently.Of course I know I'm not really angry at these pregnant women, I'm just angry at the fact it isn't happening for me, but this jealousy and anger is turning me into a bitter person who I don't want to be. I also know that this would annoy some women, as they've had to try much longer than me and would feel I am being impatient, but that's why I really want to control my jealousy and pull myself together, because I know at times it is irrational. I need to get a grip! If anyone has any advice on dealing with intense jealousy, I'd really appreciate hearing from you:) x

I don't mean plan everything, but all of the things you'd need for the first 6 months, research on costs, how to get babies to sleep, go on a baby first aid course, etc. Find other ways to be outlets instead of jealousy. You're young you have plenty of time to be a mum, but not to be young and free :)
