When a woman encounters problems in getting pregnant, finding out about the pregnancy of a friend, family member, co-worker or simply an acquaintance is quite difficult to manage, especially if the pregnant woman is someone close to her.
The woman experiences an internal conflict because she feels that she should be happy for her pregnant friend, but she also feels frustration, anger and, to a certain extent, envy.
Therefore, the woman may wonder if she is a bad person for this or if what she has felt is wrong, but it is a normal mixture of feelings. Moreover, she does not wish the pregnant person ill, but it is a completely normal reaction generated by the feeling of loss and the grief of not getting pregnant.
In any case, if learning about someone else's pregnancy is affecting the woman with fertility problems too much, she should seek the help of a psychologist to deal with the situation in a healthier way.
