to think my friend may be right?

For those of you who don't know, I gave birth to gorgeous twin girls (Grace and Poppy), in August, and they were premature.

Since then, it has been very much a rollercoaster ride, they've both had their setbacks and are still in hospital, but we're hoping things will be fine.

The thing is, today I was talking to my friend whose DS was also premature last year, and she has been incredibly supportive, except for today when she suggested that maybe Grace and Poppy were so ill because of me. She said that she had done everything 'right' during pregnancy which is why her DS improved really quickly, but my DDs aren't doing so well so it was probably down to how I 'behaved' when I was pregnant with them.

I feel utterly awful. I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was around 5 months gone, so I had been drinking occasionally, hadn't taken folic acid, eaten seafood etc. AIBU to think that maybe it IS my fault? :(

She is a shit friend and needs deleting/shredding NOW.

What you did in pregnancy is NOT why your LO's are in the position they are in now. What a complete cow.

sallysparrow just out of curiosity how many years medical training did your job require?

Just wondering if janes "friend" had done anywhere near the same.

I wish Grace and Poppy a swift journey to their fighting weight OP so you can get them safely home. Good luck and tell that stupid bitch to fuck the fuck off would you.
