tadjennyp just to add my comments into the mix, as I feel like I've sort of been in your friends shoes (or at least relate to how she is reacting). I was pg last year before my mc and found out very early on one of my good friends was pg and only 3 weeks ahead of me - it was so exciting as I thought we would be able to do everything together - maybe even be in hospital together at the birth.
Then I mc. I found it really hard to talk to her, infact, I used to cry alot and just get upset that she was OK but I was suffering and how unfair it was (silly I know). I couldn't actually see her for several months as seeing her pg upset me, and I found it hard to ask her about things pg related as I would feel I might cry. To be honest, that continued a bit (although getting a bit beter) until I was pg again. She's now due in a month, and I can now feel 'normal' again chatting to her, so I think your friend just needs time, she might feel too upset at her problems to be able to share your joy, it'll be nothing personal that she isn't pleased for you, I'm sure. If you friend is anything like me, it would help her for you to tell her how you are thinking of her and how sorry you were about her situation and that you won't shove this pg in her face (she might be concerned you'll talk to her about it all the time which might upset her) etc. Hope that helps
grannyapple you're near me I think...I live near Orpington
professorlayton thanks for that - makes me feel a bit better. Thing is, my logic is that lots of people don't have it start until 8 weeks....so that must be a 'peak' of difficulty??? It might get worse and worse until then Mine started (allbeit mildly a first) days before my period was due!
Feels like I'm getting an ear infection AGAIN not a good start to the day. I also have a feeling I need to eat something different to get more nutrients (maybe lack of nutrition making me worse??) but I can't stomach anything. I've been living the past few days on baked potato, bfast cereal (although the ones I buy arn't fortified as I have to have a special diet) and toast. Sure I need more protein, but can't stomach anything other than sometimes a bit of cheese, and milk in cereal. Not sure what else I can try as I have a really restricted diet anyway (I'm gluten free not through choice, but for medical reasons, and I'm also veggie. I have to avoid quite a few foods (like lentils and beans) as they give me very painful bloating and wind with IBS - it just isn't worth the pain). I've been trying peanut butter with toast, and some pumpkin seeds in cereal - any other ideas as I'm sure I might feel better if I could stomach something different. Oh, I have been taking iron medicine for some of my RDA to help me
