And then they say, I'm pregnant :( (Possible trigger warning)

Being pregnant is a most wonderful thing and is something that unless tech and medicine gets better I'll never be able to experience this for myself, the best way I can experience this is to do it with a women and HER have the baby, well, unless I'm unable too even do that. (I wouldn't know..) but that's no fun for me nor is it fair to me. I want so badly to be able to get pregnant and to have my own kids and I can't. :( This is something I dislike thinking about or dwelling on and typically don't (Though sometimes if I see kids, especially with their moms, I'll think on it and get depressed) but the one thing that keeps happening to me is, when I speak to a women she says "I'm pregnant." Did I forget to mention all those women knew I am transgender? Did I forget to mention this was my Doc, my Psychologist (Which didn't work out even though I wish it had and in her case she'd recently given birth so she wasn't pregnant but you get what I mean here..) and as of yesterday, now even my neighbor has told me she's pregnant. :( (Yes in this order) While I'm happy for them, and I don't "think" they're rubbing it in my face or mean anything by it other than simply stating facts and sharing the news, I still can't help but be sad by this and get depressed and to a lesser extent, even feel some jealousy because, I'll never be able to have kids of my own like they can.  :'( I wish I really could cry so I could feel better but can't and am left with just depression. :( I just, sometimes wish they wouldn't share this with me and would be more sensitive of my circumstances. (My neighbor I can understand sharing it with me, not the other two..)

Hang in there, it is a hard truth to not be able to carry your own children (yet).  It would be a dream come true to have children from your body, but remember that being a mother is more than giving birth.  You may decide later to adopt or marry into a family, and I am sure you will have other opportunities to express your motherly instincts.  It sounds like you are a born mom, and I can see you finding your way to that role, even if today, it seems impossibly far away.
