Advice needed to help friend

My very good friend has just had her 2nd miscarriage. She suffers with endometriosis and due to some other gynaecological probs she has been told to expect to have a hysterectomy by the age of 30. She is 26 now and recently married. Her dh is 32 and they are both SO desperate to be parents. They have been trying for a few years but as her cycles range between 20days and 60days it very hard for her to work out when she should be ovulating. She had the 1st m/c last year and the 2nd yesterday. She is being so brave even though I can tell she is crumbling inside.

I am 22+5 weeks and I am sure seeing me and my bump must be hard for her. She says she is okay and will get over it but I just wish there was something I could do to help.

My reason for posting was to ask for advice, what can I do/say to show how how sorry I am for her loss and give her the support she needs. I don't want to talk about my pregnancy as I feel this might 'rub her nose in it'.

Sorry for the long message.
