to think that my friend is being an arsehole

with her reaction to my news.She has just thrown a wobbly that I didn't tell her I was pregnant sooner. I'm only 6 weeks!!!!! DH and I weren't going to tell anyone as we had a mc in January and we didn't want to tempt fate.

Anyway, I was supposed to be doing a midnight charity walk with my friend and I've pulled out as I'm soooo worried about mc'ing again. I've told my freind the reason why I can't do the walk and she said 'I'm upset you didn't tell me sooner'. I'm pissed off to say the least as she is now making me feel guilty. She is currently ttc with a sperm donor so I can imagine that she may be feeling a little down that I succeded when she hasn't but does that really excuse her attitude?

Am I over reacting due to my hormones?

How much earlier could you have told her? Straight after your dh's climax?!

YANBU

I would give her some space for a bit.

Is she annoyed that you didn't tell her sooner so she could find someone else to walk with?

No not an over reaction, she is overreacting but possibly because of the situation she finds herself in. Difficult situation for you, hope she calms down and realises what she has said was unreasonable

Many congratulations btw

She's TTC, she's a nutter. To be honest, I think it's hard to TTC and not be a nutter. Not your problem though, 6 weeks is early enough to tell her, and you have a very good reason to pull out of the walk.

Thank you - praying this one sticks!

There are some other ladies doing the walk that she knows to say hello to so she could still do the walk if she wanted to.

Nickytwotimes - may be I should have called her during DH's climax to let her know there was a 50/50 chance that I might be pregnant!!!

YANBU!!

pmsl princess!

YANBU, she is being really silly.

My best friend didn't tell me about her pregnancy until she was 14 weeks along - because she had had 2 previous mcs and was so anxious about it that she didn't want to even admit to herself that she was having a baby until she was certain.

I completely understood and sympathised with her reasons for doing this - as any good friend would imo.

Congratulations and look after yourself .

YANBU - As someone who spent 5 years ttc and bursting into tears every time one of my friends announced their pregnancy I can tell you that it wouldn't have mattered when you'd have told her, she still would have been annoyed/upset.

Congratulations and remember,

a pregnant womens place is on the sofa, with a pile of magazines and a box of chocs.

Congratulations on your pg!
Your friend sounds very self-centred tbh. Could be the insanity that goes with ttc but all the same....
