Just wanted to vent. So me and my best friend planned to get pregnant at the same time and we fell pregnant together at the same time the next month. Anyway, unfortunately i had a missed miscarriage just before xmas and i'm broken. She announced she was pregnant yesterday and i feel so empty and flat. I'm so happy and excited for her, but i can't help but feel gutted and slightly jealous of her. I haven't been able to speak to her for the past 2 weeks purely because if we spoke about anything baby related it would trigger me. I messaged her yesterday to say i'm still here for her but im just struggling. I should of been announcing im pregnant too :( I'm just so upset and don't know how to cope with this

It must be very difficult to have the comparison of your friend. I would confide in her about what you’ve gone through and explain that you just need a little space right now.

If it’s any consolation, I had a mmc at 8 weeks, discovered at 10 weeks. I got pregnant with my now 4 year old a month later. It’s so heartbreaking, miscarriages are very common unfortunately, but I hope you all the best with the future.

Thank you. I have told her how it's been for me and she understands! It's just hard you know. Bless you so sorry you've been through the same. it's great to hear you conceived quick! we are trying again now but i still haven't had my first period. Did you conceive before you got your first period. I'm worried about getting pregnant before my period and then having no idea where i am in my pregnancy xx
