I have a coworker who has been trying to conceive for 8yrs. She never did any medication but was told that she does not ovulate... ok i feel for her.. and we talk a bit about my struggle...

she recently found out she is expecting.. I am overjoyed for her.. BUT I am so angry when I see her drinking, and smoking at a company event .

I mean i understand it is her body but seriously you don't really want to be pregnant... I feel so much anger because I would give anything to be in her shoes and be pregnant.. and to see her do this knowing she is just eats me up inside... I have to totally not even be near her because I want to scream..this is when I ask myself WHY WHY WHY>>

people like her get this gift and here we all struggle and fight for it.. It just pisses me off beyond words.. anyway had to get that out and off my chest....

What the hell is wrong with that woman? How you haven't told her off, I have no idea. I am just dumbfounded. I'm surprised no one in your HR Department has said anything to her. I really don't know what else to say beyond WTF???

I'm sorry you have such a thoughtless coworker. Hopefully karma will give her a kick in the ass sooner than later.

Ugh, drinking and smoking? It's hard enough to be around plain old pregnant women, but one who obviously has little regard for her child's health? Barf. I hope you can avoid her. I would certainly have a hard time not making snide comments at her and I'm a pretty mild mannered person.

OK, this has got to be a first! TTC for 8 YEARS and now risking it all with drinks and smokes?! She needs help, in whatever form will be most effective. I hope her partner or someone else close to her will step up, scare her straight, and support her in kicking these dependencies while she's pregnant.

Makes me wonder what is going on with her mentally that would promp this. No one can possibly claim ignorance in this day and age. So sorry you've had to witness such careless behavior and that it has upset you (rightly so).
