3rd loss. Best friend pregnant.

[thirdloss]

I've just had my 3rd baby loss.

My best friend is 12 weeks pregnant, no issues.

How do I be happy for her?

You don’t have to be happy for her. Its totally natural to find this hard. Are you good enough friends for her to understand? So sorry for your loss

So sorry for your loss, I am currently going through my third loss and my best friend is due to have her baby any day now. My first baby would be due four weeks later and now instead I will be miscarrying.

Life is cruel.

You will manage to be there for her in time but it is okay to step back for now.

DH's friend was having their 1st baby at the same time as our 2nd was due. Only ours was stillborn at 26 weeks. I think they just were so caught up in their own bubble that they chattered incessantly about the baby and they rang us at 4am to say the baby had been born..... I cried for days.

What I should have done was back right off. It's ok not to share someone else's joy when you're going through the worst imaginable misery. If she's a good friend, she'll understand.

I'm so sorry for your losses life can be unbelievably cruel at times.
