YANBU, we took 3 years to conceive DS, were told it was unlikely we would conceive naturally and I was due to start IVF, when 3 weeks before I found out I was already pregnant. In that time so many people seemed to be pregnant, it just felt like a slap in the face tbh. Especially when I had a friend who used to bang on about how she got pregnant straight away, she had no problems, she didn't really want a second as quickly as she did etc. Then I had DS and when he was 3 months, my teenage cousin and his GF had an 'accident'. Things like that do get to me a bit.

YANBU to feel this way. It can be really hard. I go through periods of time when it feels really unfair, and then others when I am more accepting of it. Have been TTC for #2 for over 5 years now, so know my chances are now very limited.

Of course, the only response in such circumstamnces is to congratulate the pregnant woman, and to rejoice in her happiness and excitement throughout the pregnancy and beyond.

But it is hard and it doesn't stop you from feeling gutted at times.

YANBU at all. It's a natural reaction.
Regarding people "protecting themselves" That's not neccessarily true. It's hard to strike the right note when someone is going through a difficult time.
