I had a m/c on 31st May, my first. The pregnancy was very much wanted and planned as a sibling for DD now 17mo. Thankfully the m/c was straightforward and fairly early (nearly 8 weeks) but it was still devastating.
I have several very close and dear friends who have just had or are about to have new babies and I wondered if anyone has any advice on how to handle the conflicting emotions that I am feeling?
I am so happy for my friends but so sad for DH, DD and me at the same time. I have burst into tears each time I get the news of another new baby and I even feel jealous which is selfish and horrible of me.
I need to go shopping for lovely baby presesnts - usually something I enjoy but I am dreading it this time around. And don't get me started on the first visits to see the babies...
It would be great to hear how you have all dealt with this and whether these feelings subside with time.
Thank you in advance.
