Hi all,
Have had a couple of threads over past few weeks. Had a MMC at 11 weeks and an ERPC on Wednesday. My BF visited last night and told me that a mutual friend and colleague announced she was 12 weeks pregnant this week - with twins - the week of my EDD. I'm heartbroken. I feel a total bitch thinking 'how can she be expecting 2 children when I couldn't even carry the 1?' I'm supposed to be seeing her in less than 5 hours - myself, her and another friend all had our first DC's within 4 months of each other and it's my other friend's DS's 2nd birthday party. I can't not go, it'll devastate my friend (the "party" is really just a play date with the 3 of them and some cake!). Not sure what to do. Do I go and bite the bullet and hope I don't have a nervous breakdown? Or do I hide away? I'm returning to work Weds anyway so I'll have to see her everyday then.
Up until now I haven't really cried, have been able to hold it together quite well but I think this has triggered the grief. Ive got a bit of a reputation for "getting on with it" - my father past away whilst 2 years ago and i only had the day of the funeral off from work - friends and family expect me to be resilient but this is killing me. Has anyone got any words of wisdom to help me through? Tried talking to my DH last night but he said something like this was bound to happen sooner than later (a lot of my friends are trying - we're in our 30's and "that age"!!) so just to be strong and get on with it.
Sorry for the ramble!
