I am having a m/c at the moment (at 8weeks preg). I seem to veer between being OK and suddenly grief-stricken, but I suppose this is normal...I am worried because this is my second m/c, so am worried that there might be problems. I do, though, have an 18-month old DS who is the absolute light of my life .
A very good friend of mine is 8 weeks pregnant now. We were very excited about being preg together, planning shopping trips and looking forward to baby swims etc...
I think i will be OK seeing her pregnancy develop, and of course hope that everything goes as well as possible for her and her bump. I am just worried a)that she will start to worry for her own pregnancy, as I think I would if the situations were reversed, and b) that she will find it difficult expressing her happiness at being preg/giving birth around me. I really want to be a part of her new babied-up life as none of my other close friends has children yet.
I'm also worried, i suppose, that seeing her bloom will trigger feelings of grief for me.
It is so hard. Does anyone else have experience of this? how did you cope?
