My best friend has just announced to me that she is pregnant. Wasnt actually planning to start trying until this month but she has PCOS and was expecting it to take a while. She wasnt being careful and 'accidently' fell pregnant and is 7 weeks already.
For the past 2 and a half years she has been my rock of support along my TTC journey and now I can barely face texting her let alone seeing her.
She told me the news on Tuesday evening and didnt even bring up the fact that I am having trouble. Was expecting her to say 'I know it's hard when you hear news that other people are pregnant' or 'I hope you're not far behind me'. But she said nothing at all, didnt give me a second thought. She just spent the hour and a half telling me all about how she had no idea she was pregnant/what her early symptoms have been/whether she wants a girl or a boy........
Am I being unreasonable to feel hurt and upset by all of this? I went home Tuesday evening and cried all night. I dont know how I am going to cope over the next 7 months of her pregnancy. I think I will be avoiding her as much as possible.
Do I tell her I was upset that she didnt even mention the effect it might have on me? She is my best friend and we were bridemsaids for each other but right now I feel like she is just another one of those people announcing their pregnancy news that I am jealous of.
Anyone else been through this? How did you cope?
