Everytime I get into a good place someone close falls pregna
Re: Everytime I get into a good place someone close falls pr
I literally signed up tonight to say this same thing! I had my ep in July and since then it seems like everyone is pg - including my ex who wasn't planning a baby and his fiance is due the same day I would have been I'm gutted as my wee girl is so excited about being a big sister.
I can understand you not wanting your friend to feel guilty, it's a tough situation that I've been in myself. But it could be that she's feeling awkward too and not wanting you to feel bad. It depends how close you are but could you maybe talk to her? If it doesn't go well then at least you know and you can go back to the way things are just now.
I think we place a lot of emphasis on what other people think (or sometimes what we think they're thinking!) but you have to take your time and heal at your own pace. Be kind to yourself and remember you are not alone. Much love x

I hope you don't remind me replying to you both in the same post but you seem to be experiencing very similar emotions at the moment.
We hear from many women who struggle with news about pregnancy from their friends and families. This is very normal and I was the same after my loss. Soon after my ectopic pregnancy I attended two christenings and one of my friends was heavily pregnant. I spent the whole day and evening avoiding her as I found it too hard to be near her. It's what I needed to do to get through the day and have some space. Please protect your heart in whatever way you need. This does not make us "bad" people and it is possible to be happy for those around us while grieving for our own loss. Pregnancies and babies can be a very stark reminder of what could have been and it can be painful. Please do be gentle with yourself and you can use the forums for as long as you need.
Sending much love,
Karen x
