Is anyone else jealous of Meghan Markle getting pregnant so quickly?!

[Blueflower]

I shouldn't be as I have my 2 beautiful boys, but it was a long long struggle with lots of compromises & I just couldn't help feeling a stab when I heard! Lucky thing!

Personally don't think she only started trying after the wedding.
Would mean it only took her 2 cycles to fall pregnant if she did wait after being married so think they would have started TTC a couple of months before the wedding.

It is very possible to conceive first try... it’s happened to me the three times we have tried to concieve we were successful each time (2 resulting in MC), some people are just very lucky - sometimes it’s a combination of the man and the women together being a very good match, in my case I think it’s actually my partner who is the more fertile one - this pregnancy we only did it once the whole month, Some couples take one or two cycles, some take ten, some longer, Megan and Harry are probably just very lucky and a good match with each other, it’s heartbreaking that it’s not like that for every couple x

 

[chattychar1990]

Of course it is possible that’s jut my personal opinion

It would have been interesting if she had given birth within 7 or 8 months of the wedding. I assume they were sleeping together before the wedding but it would be the first time the British monarch would have to face up to it. But then they are trying to be more progressive.

Also slightly jel of how absolutely amazing she looked in that white dress!

There’s certain behaviours and values expected from members of the royal family and getting pregnant before your wedding definitely isn’t in line with those behaviours! no other royal has ever done it, I doubt it would have been permitted, Megan will have signed all kinds of agreements to even date harry, they could have had a helping hand though for all we know, they will have both had some kind of fertility MOT done, with Megan being 37 they could have had a bit of assistance like an IUI or something which is pretty non invasive and boosts your chances quite a lot, or they could have just done it the old fashioned way and got lucky who knows!

Royals or not, i think anyone who is ttc would feel a slight bit of jealously when you find out someone is pregnant - i think its quite a natural thing to feel. I know i did, as well as being happy for that person. Thankfully i was also VERY lucky for falling very quick but having said that, you also dont know if she struggled, highly unlikely due to what nightowl said, but you never know.

I still get jealous when I find out people are pregnant now, even though I’m pregnant myself! Crazy

 

[liz85]

Yes I felt the same even tho I’m due in two weeks. I was thinking lucky girl. I’d been trying over 2.5 years. But it’s lovely news aswell x

Ah I never thought of that! I know loads of people who started trying as soon as they got engaged as they were ready or a bit older, makes sense. And if the baby came a bit earlier people would just say "go Harry!"

Hi! Great thanks! The boys are so cute, they are a handful and I am sleep deprived but they are such fun and it's amazing to see them develop. How are you? Xx

I’m great thankyou back here now our wee girl turned a big 3 last week! Finally got over the shock that we have a daughter and ready to try again! Xxx

 

[Princess81]

Me! I am jealous lol. Also just married, also 37 but definitely not pregnant yet and we started ttc the month before our wedding.

 

[Lollypop79]

I cried when it came on. Plus I can’t stajd any coverage about it. I should have been 12 weeks coming up next week so I was gonna do a Halloween themed announcement (also my birthday on Halloween) I miscarried not long a go. I’m jealous and sad. It’s nice news for them but I feel like it’s gonna be a constant reminder when she’s due etc xx

 

[MoominGirl]

I actually felt myself rolling my eyes when I heard the announcement on the radio. A pregnancy is always happy news but I couldn't help thinking 'of course she is' the minute I heard it. It took us 3 years to fall and even though I'm due in 4 weeks I will never forget everything we went through. I think the fact Meghan is 37 yet all we hear about is how infertile we become after we hit 35 Yet for the reasons night owl gave, I seriously doubt they were trying for long. Oh and to announce to the rest of the family at someone else's wedding just really got my back up. Yes it's happy news but there's a time and a place.

 

[Abi88]

I do wonder whether she 'announced' it to family at the wedding or just got caught chucking her champagne in a plant pot!

 

[teachermummy]

I wasn't jealous per se, I was very upset that they chose to announce their baby on Baby Loss Awareness Day.
It's only been 2 weeks since we lost ours so it's still so fresh and painful.

It's totally possible to conceive that quickly, we did straight after our wedding. Sadly we lost again and again, so my first thought for Meghan was 'please don't lose it after announcing it so early' We never got to the announcement stage, had it all planned though and we were going to do it last week, with a sister shark t-shirt for my girls and a baby shark baby gro for my tummy.

This was pregnancy number 9 for me, I have two girls and 7 gone. I really didn't think I would lose this one, all my other losses have been early on at 6 weeks max. This came as such a shock, we had 3 scans showing healthy progress and then one scan, no heartbeat.

So my long term fertility issue I guess isn't not being able to conceive quickly, it's not being able to keep my babies

 

[WinterWolf]

^ I doubt they had any idea about infant loss awareness day.

Megan might be older than average first time mum, but she was an actress. She's had to keep her body in top physical shape so she's probably likely to conceive faster than the average 37 year old (obviously general health isn't the only factor but it does help a lot!). She's a lot fitter than most women her age. I think it's great for them. So many people were already talking about when they'd have a baby, imagine if they had fertility issues! At least now everyone can leave her alone.

So sorry to hear this Lollypop.
