This girl just always seems to jump ahead of me with everything. SOunds dumb I know but its how I feel. I got engaged and planned a date for my wedding then she planned hers to be a month ahead. I know she doesnt do any of this to me mean she just always seems to steal my thunder.

Just think, when you do have a baby, it will always be younger, smaller and cuter than hers!

Pretend that you are happy too! Don't let on that you aren't truly happy, or you will get some awful bad feedback. It's natural for everyone to be excited. It's also natural for you to feel jealous. Deal with your feelings privately or talk to someone who isn't friends with your pregnant friend. Try to be happy and supportive of her, treat her like you would like her to treat you when you become pregnant. Use this as a time to become closer to your friend and learn from her experiences. Just think, when you have a child, you will be able to go to her with your questions, because she has all ready been there and will have good advice!

I know it's hard, I just lost my baby at 20 weeks pregnant and my best friend who is due the same time as me is still going strong, I'm happy for her but sad too. The real thing to see is that it's natural to have these feelings but at the same time you need to see that everything happens for a reason, your time will come when you are ready.
I lost my baby and the next day I see Brittany spears due as the same time as me and then Anna Nicole smith and I wonder why god took my baby, as if I was more deserving
You just can't live like that just realize and be happy

You act like a good friend, and try to be genuinely happy for her. After all, she probably didn't get pregnant to spite you. She's happy with the new little life inside of her, and you should try to be happy for her.
With that said, I completely understand how you feel. My little sister got pregnant at the age of eighteen, and had her baby just before I got married. Everyone was ga-ga over her daughter (me included), but I couldn't help feeling jealous. I was the older sister, I was supposed to have kids first, right? Well, I talked myself through it, and now I couldn't be happier for her and her little daughter. Things rarely work out just how we plan them, but a baby is a joy, not a reason for tears. Try to be happy knowing that your friend is happy, and in time the hurt will heal. Things will work out just how they're supposed to.
Until then, Good Luck!

I tried for quite some time - over a year - to get pregnant & had to watch my friends all have babies, go to baby showers, etc. You know what, though? It just made me enjoy my pregnancy so much more! I had waited so long it was like a little kid at Christmas! I had 9 months of Christmas and every morning when my baby wakes up, it's like Christmas all over again. It's worth the wait. Don't be jealous, be happy for her & smile knowing you wont have to share the limelight when it's YOUR turn!

If you want to get pay back then try and get pregnant a week before her due date and then like right after her baby is born be like "I'm Pregnant". Or you could go to her baby shower and be like "I'm Pregnant" You well get all the attention. Also you could point out all the bad things like stretch marks, sleepless nights etc and get her all worried. Or you could do what i would do and just congratulate her and be happy and think hahaha if she screws up i will know what not to do lol

You should pray about it. Ask God to take that jealosy out of your heart and replace it with happiness. Im sure you want to be happy for your friend. Just think of it like this...Since she is pregnant first, you will get all of her maternatity clothes and baby stuff she wont need anymore. You'll save a ton of money! Im sure when you get pregnant everyone, including her, will be happy and excited for you!

Get over it...if you are trying to have a baby you will get pregnant when it is right...I went through that as I lost two and wanted one so bad and everyone I knew around me was getting pregnant...there is nothing you can do but be happy for that person and just hope that it happens to you soon!

Remember that your lucky child will always be younger than their friend.
My not appreciate it now, but when they reach 50 years old, they will be bragging. So don't be jealous. Look at the bright side.

I know how that feels cause I miscarried and my friend called me on my birthday to tell me she was pregnant. Just keep trying and try to be happy for your friend
