My best friend is pregnant - why am I sad?!

So mine and my partners best friends told us they’re pregnant. We’re thrilled for them! Although I feel so sad because i would love a family, although I know it isn’t really the right ‘time’ in studying still. And my partner wants to move back towards his home town before we do. He says we have no support here (my parents live close by but are pretty busy, although I know they’d help out if we had a baby) but he doesn’t see that.

How do I cope with these feelings? They feel so overwhelming!

@SW-User I think staying at home with your baby or babies is nice and if you do go out, you can take them with you. I don't go out drinking or anything like that though. I always have their baby bags ready so it's never a rush to go anywhere. As for sex, you can have that when your children are asleep. I have a boy aged 3, girl aged 14 months, and am 6 months pregnant with my third baby.

I guess looking after teenagers does look difficult, but babies are adorable and not hard. It's so easy to take care of them and keep them safe...how do you do that with teenagers? Sigh, I just hope mine won't be influenced by peer pressure and so on. If I was qualified to teach, I'd just home school my children lol

@SW-User you crap yourself every time they leave the house and breath a sigh of relief when they return lol but I'd still rather that than do the baby thing again. I guess my experience was flawed though, mine (I have three boys) are all adopted so had a lot of trauma and attachment issues. My youngest was born with foetal alcohol syndrome and his birth mum was an addict so essentially he was in withdrawal as a baby and I felt like I had a terminal illness, I was so sleep deprived.

@SW-User that's so horrible for the poor baby. I'm glad you were there to love him and help him grow...
