Would i be stealing friends thunder?

[Lizzie09]

This probably sounds ridiculous but i would just like some honest opinions on this. Me and my partner decided to start trying for baby no.2 around March time. I fell pregnant with my first pretty quickly after coming of the pill.
My friend recently just told me she is pregnant and i'm over the moon for her! Now i'm worried that if i start trying to get pregnant in march and i fall pregnant quickly like i did the first time she would think i was stealing her thunder, i know this sounds ridiculous and childish but i did actually used to have a friend that stopped speaking to me when i announced my first pregnancy. She had already had her baby and said i only got pregnant because she did and i stole her thunder! That friend was always pretty childish and competitive mind.

What do you think? Am i over thinking this? I hope she would be happy for me unlike my old friend. She isn't like her and we're very close and she's a wonderful friend, but given that past experience with my other friend i don't know. I just don't want to upset anyone, but i do want to start trying too. Sorry i know it was long!

Gosh how silly of the other person! I’m sure your friend now will think how lovely it would be to be off on mat leave together and for the little ones to go up close in age, if you fall quickly again. I fell very quick with my first, but unfortunately it’s taking a bit longer now with my second.

It is ridiculous
Your life
Your baby
Your decision
If they become ex friends so be it.
A goid friend wouod be happy to share stages with you

How odd- nobody has exclusivity over pregnancy. Did your former friend have the maternity ward to herself ?? I suspect not. Did she expect all her potentially fertile friends to abstain so not to take the attention off her? How ridiculous.

Your friend is pregnant already you’re going to start trying in March, there’s no guarantee you will conceive straightaway and even if you do there’s going to be at least a couple of months between you maybe more as you don’t say how many weeks your friend is.
If she gets upset at you like your former friend then it’s totally her problem.

If it suits you to ttc in March then go ahead and see what happens.

I'd be well happy if my good friend was pregnant at the same time. It's so nice to have people going through similar things with you

If my friend was pregnant at the same time as me I’d be extatic! Go for it op it’s about you not her

New friend sounds lovely and nothing like old friend. I'm sure she would be over the moon for you x
