Re: Feeling of being pressured by family and friends :(
Probably tell them that you're all planning for the baby's arrival and just surprise them when you're already expecting! That way they won't think that you're all desperately focused on that having a baby alone. Call me a little b*tchy but hey, there's no harm in telling that white lie for you to avoid getting hurt by their negative comments girl. Cheer up! As the saying goes... "B*tch me once then I'll b*tch you twice!" They shouldn't be treating your TTC period as a circus! Respect!!! And when I say "They" I'm referring to people not even related or important to you who have the guts to comment tactlessly. Ew.
Re: Feeling of being pressured by family and friends :(
Thank you dear ladies for all of those suggestions! I know it's better said than done. I know what I should be doing or how I should be reacting but sometimes when I get caught off-guard, I feel a sense of embarrassment or "lacking" when the matters about pregnancy are talked about, especially at work... I think I should be fixing myself first, what I think of or how I perceive myself too, so I'd be able to deal with them properly. Again, my warm thanks to all!

You're so right Fanny. Change the way you think of yourself first and it will exude! God has a plan for you and just think that these TTC moments are a part of it. Cheer up hun!
Re: Feeling of being pressured by family and friends :(
@ Adalira- a big DITTO!
@ Fanny- Cheer up! The mere fact that you have your hubby who loves you so much is already a good thing. Don't dwell on negative thoughts. I hope you and your hubby will soon have a baby this year!
Re: Feeling of being pressured by family and friends :(
Oh Fanny, please don't concentrate on those negative stuff. Of course, do your best in trying to get pregnant but I think it's much better if you and our hubby will take this time to enjoy your time together. Try to travel and do the things you both love to do. It's also the best time to save up for your family. Also the right time to purchase whatever you want (but better to always keep some for your emergency fund! ) as you might stretch your budget when the baby's on the way.
Re: Feeling of being pressured by family and friends :(
Oh dear if only we could make you feel better. I suggest please don't be too impatient on having a baby. Remember that "Man proposes and God disposes." I am not saying that you won't have a baby, considering the fact that you don't have any problems at all and it's just hitting the right time to DTD. But please bear in mind that you cannot force something as soon as you want to. Take your time. Try to get pregnant but please don't make it your life. There are other things in life to be thankful for. If it happens, it happens but don't tire yourself of it making you not enjoy the gift of life you now have. Good luck dear.

You are very right here Fanny... I know it's hard to do the things that you know must do... Things are always easier said than done... But do not worry, the right time will come.
