I would have thought after losing two babies that I wouldn't want to be around pregnant people, but for some reason I'm obsessed with them. I look at the pregnant celebs online, I look at my friends pregnant bellies and pictures of their babies on facebook daily, I read pregnancy books and I search the web on pregnancy all the time. It's like I am enjoying punishing myself. I even invite all my friends over who are all moms now and two of them had their babies when I was due. I don't get it. Does anyone else do this?

I honestly think it can go both ways -- wanting to avoid pregnant women or wanting to live vicariously through them. I wouldn't worry! It is all probably normal.

I am the same way...and i work in a portrait studio where i spend all day creating memories for families when i lost mine...sometimes it can be hard and i dont want to be around friends and their babies and other days, it gives me peace to hold them and see what i will have someday...

You shouldn't feel bad for doing this. For me, I usually try to avoid seeing pregnant women because the pain is unbearable. But at the same time, I can't help but look through my friends' myspace pictures of their growing bellies.
It hurts to see it but for some strange reason I always do it. Part of me is curious about how I would have looked if I had gotten that far along and another part of me just feels sorry for myself and looking through those pics is like a pitty party. So I know what you mean. I think its normal to be curious about pregnancy especially when we've been through all of this.
