NC as could be outing.

Non pregnant friend who has had recent loss, fertility issues etc. checks in with newly pregnant friend to check all is well with pregnancy. Pregnant friend replies with the ultrasound photo.

AIBU to think the unsolicited visual is unnecessary and quite insensitive under the circumstances? (Note pregnant friend knows all the details of non pregnant friend’s history)

and

Anyone else find ultrasound photos particularly triggering?

so the none pregnant friend checked in on the pregnant friend to see how they were doing and the pregnant friend sent a picture of the ultra-sound?

sounds perfectly normal and reasonable to me. the none pregnant friend opened the communication by asking, and i believe a normal response would be to send an ultra-sound?

yes you are being unreasonable...

Pregnant friend was breathtakingly insensitive and thoughtless.

I’d advise non pregnant friend to take a big step back.

I do wish people wouldn’t - I don’t want to see anyone’s insides.

But I am guessing she forgot in the excitement of the moment. I can see it could be upsetting, but calling it triggering is pushing it isn’t it? - there are babies and baby stuff everywhere

I hope things come good for you soon

You checked in on your pregnant friend. Of course she is going to share her exciting (to her) stuff with a friend who is asking.

I’m sorry it upset you, but you are the one being unreasonable.

I hope you said something nice to your friend like congratulations or “I’m glad the pregnancy is going well,” rather than blank the poor woman.
