Experiencing jealousy of pregnancy announcements

My partner and I are both on fence sitters. Him more so than me, but living in the US in this moment and being middle class makes me apprehensive to hav a child for the next few years. Seeing many of my friends get pregnant makes me think I’m overthinking it and should just pull the plug. I have waves of baby fever, waves of thinking it will never be the right call. But hearing announcements makes me jealous they pulled the plug and made a decision. And for what it’s worth, people who have made a decision to not have kids- similar envy in their decision too.
