Was I insensitive?

I have just upset my friend and didn’t mean to. She has just had a miscarriage about a week ago. I have tried to be as supportive as possible texting every day etc. and offering to cook for her.
My DD has just had her birthday and I posted a few pics of her on Facebook (as my family who live away like to see pics of kids etc) including a pic of her as a baby - I do this on the kids birthdays every year.
She’s just messaged me saying how insensitive I am and how could I not think about her feelings/ how she is feeling.
I genuinely didn’t do it to upset her- I did it because it’s my kids birthday and that is what I am thinking about and I do it every year.
I would never consciously try to upset her.
Aibu to feel upset about it? I didn’t do it on purpose!

I too have miscarried, and it is a very difficult time, we all handle our emotions differently.
Post as many pics of your children/babies, as you like, life goes on.
Maybe for now, your friend would be better off limiting her viewing.
Don't appologise, I don't think you should, but I would go round and see her, let her know that you're not going to abandon her, when she's confused and hurting so much. These flowers💐, are for your friend.

I wouldn't apologise for posting them, you're entitled to be proud and chuffed as a parent.
Possibly acknowledge why she's hurt by them and leave it at that,.
