I need to vent, ladies. I've been ttc for 6 months now on 1st child, and my sister was only kind of starting to try last month and got pg on her first attempt! Now I don't even know if I want to get pregnant right now, because I'm afraid my sister will turn our pregnancies into a competition along with the entire lives of the children. She is one year older than me and was like this our entire lives. Her always having to one up me. Does anyone else feel this way??? Why does everyone else seem to be getting pregnant and not me?

Hi, my sister-in-law is due with her first baby next month and is 5 years older than me and everything is a competition with her. She loves attention and ensured to tell me that she was glad she waited till she was in her 30's to get pregnant as I am only 27. Lone behold she only met her husband when she was 29.....gee I don't think it was a matter of waiting till you were 30, she just didn't find the right man till then. I don't think she is very happy that we are planning to try right away as she fears we would have the first girl i am sure. your sister isn't out of the woods yet, i hope all goes well but she shouldn't get overly excited. baby dust for you!

It took me 40 month to conceive, and in that time my friends had not only one but two babies. Quite honestly, if you are worried about competing with your sister, then you should wait a few years to have child. You'll never stop comparing your two children as they grow and develop.

hi everyone,well it never ceases to amaze me how spiteful some people ca be .in all honesty i think the majority of people usually say "we werent even trying" and in alot of the cases it's true.but when you know that someone always tries to "one up" you.i'd bet money they were trying and kept it secret.because it hurts a whole lot more to the other person when they are told "we werent even trying".don't fall for that crap.yeah she may have gotton lucky sooner but honey your baby will be the most precious person in the world to you.don't ever for one second think she could compete with that.because the fact that your baby is yours will always win.as far as postponing having a child because she is,that's insane live your life to the fullest to hell what her or anyone else thinks .you do what makes you happy.have you tried to track your fertility?maybe some ovulation test strips might help you alot.i wish you the best of luck.i know my sister always tried to one up me,it killed her when i didn't care what she did or said.they love the attention.don't give her none.good luck all ttc...

Thanks everyone for the support! I know that it will happen when it's supposed to, but that doesn't mean I still can't bitch about it, right??:) Well the good thing is we will probably move to Europe in the next 2-3 years (my husband is from there) and I won't be near my sister for too long to compete with:). I will keep trying, and if she does try to turn it into a competition I will try to just ignore her. I haven't been tracking my fertility. I'm not trying that hard, although I may have to start.:) I was just leisurely trying before, but I might have to kick it up a notch. Baby dust to all...
