Such joy is infectious?
Posted on August 6, 2007
That is talking about news about having a baby.
Then..men should be able to have them, eh? Imagine, no wars would start because everyone is too busy having a baby or trying to make one.
But seriously, what are the consequences? Truth be told, people are not only joyous..but I think sometimes secretly envious. Like me….when I was trying to get pregnant, news about other friends being pregnant or already having the average 2.3 kids made me quite envious. I’d wished so badly it was that easy to get preggie.
Would men have the same feelings? It’s kind of a race to the finish line, no? And men are quite competitive, no? Imagine them trying to outdo each other by having as many kids as they can…us women can really really relax then. No worries about our fat tummies, or legs..what a relief.
I sometimes don’t know if I should share the news to ppl who are trying to get pregnant..because I’m sure it feels like being stabbed in the heart with a knife..like how can she? She’s already got 2 kids. Why should she need another one more? Why can’t it be me?
Sigh… I don’t know. A thin line to cross here. I wish I could tell them sometimes, being pregnant is not the answer to everything. Like it doesn’t resolve any marital issues you might have. It might not bring you the cinematic joy and wonder, one (read:single people) normally associates with having a baby. It’s really not all happy happy joy joy. It’s got puke, blood, gut-wrenching pain and multiple headaches…and I’m not talking about being pregnant…I’m talking about having KIDS, period.
Oh…. just rambling on and on and on… trying to get my mind off the explosive feeling I’m feeling in my womb. I wonder why that happens.

Yeah. I wish the guys can get pregnant. I have one kid and production closed liao. I was so sick for 6 months, but got lots of pmaperings. hehehe…
At least for the past 15 years, it was worth the pain and suffering. Hope dun get kek sei by the daughter-in-law! hahaha….
yeah..i understand how you’re feeling. I asked Big C, you want baby? He say wan…then I asked him come la…he say I tired. Apala..better go to the store to buy.
Just don’t think too much. People are sometimes sad not because they are not happy for you. They’re just not happy for themselves.
Guys getting pregnant eh…. I wonder will rape cases as rampant.
I sense dangerous territory
I guess silence is golden, eh 
why is there a little timer in my comment?
Maybe NOT envious…maybe just confused? Okay, maybe confused tooo strong a word.
Like me ar… I told myself two kids enough for me. But when I hear ppl getting pregnant for baby No.3 or more, I kinda have this funny “samm lor-lor liun” like if I am doing the right thing by stopping at 2. I ask questions like “will I regret when older?? ” Blah blah blah…
Know what I mean?/
Haha
Mott, going through some roller coaster?
Mott, u got good news to share with me ar?
:???:
I know the part about trying to get pregnant and no news and seeing everybody around you getting pregnant kind of feeling.
I know also the part about getting pregnant wanting to share the joy with people you care and only finding the people you care very envious of you and think you shouldn’t share the news with them because they have been trying to get pregnant without sucesss.
Aigh.. but then.. I think I can handle ppl being pregnant but I’d not been successfull, and I hope the ones who are trying will also be able to handle it like I do.
What am I talking here? Anyway.. Happy for you..
