Hi I.M's just a little background, I live with my partner of 5 years and we have two beautiful daughters, A 2.5yo and 13weeks. Recently a close friend, who I grew up with but we now live in separate states, told me she is pregnant with her fourth baby, I am so happy and excited for her, however, since the day she told me I have felt somewhat upset and sad about this, I even cried while I was at my gym working out and had to leave. I am having so much trouble understanding why I feel this way and why it is getting to me? Does anyone have any ideas or advice? I love her and she is a very dear friend, do you think it is jealousy? I am not usually a jealous person at all.please help!

Do you think maybe its just your hormones still 'playing up' since bub is only 13wks old?
I don't think it would be jealously unless you felt some sort of resentment?
Tricky one.
But can I just say, good on you for being so active to being going to the gym when bub is 13wks! My youngest are twins and they are almost 4months. Don't sleep through the night yet and some days I wonder how i do the school run let alone get out of bed! I take my hat off to you!
I forgot to mention I do suffer from depression but I don't think this is related to pnd... Isn't pnd much more severe with also feelings of disconnection and harm towards your baby? Also my partner has said one more bub and that's it where as I'd love a big family...
