Pregnancy seems to be all around after my loss

I had a MMC a couple of months ago I have taken two months off work to get my head round things, since being off I have discovered my colleague is pregnant and the baby will be due the same time as mine should have been, and that another colleagues partner is expecting, also a new team member who has joined has a small baby, I’ve worked there for 6 years and in that time no babies have been born but all of a sudden after my loss I am going to be surrounded with babies / pregnancy in work where I spend most of my time, I know I will be ok but I think it will be a constant reminder of what I am missing, any advice on how to deal with this is welcome, this was my first pregnancy very much wanted and I am heart broken with the loss 💔

Sorry for your loss, and what cruel luck all these announcements just when you need them the least. I suffered a miscarriage last week at 11 weeks (been trying for over 2 years), our close friends have just announced their pregnancy so our dates would have been almost identical, it's going to be hard seeing them over the next 6 months and meeting the baby etc. but I'm trying to be optimistic about things.
With my first pregnancy, there was a lady in my team who had recently suffered multiple losses and I know it was difficult for her at the time. She's now gone on to have 2 children when we've struggled to conceive again.
I guess what I'm saying is, we're all on our own journey with TTC, the chances of conceiving after a miscarriage are high. There's always going to be announcements, but try and be happy and supportive for others, knowing your time will come. I know it's so hard but look after yourself and try to stay positive. X
