HI Guys,

Guess I'm on the other side of the fence and hoping that you might be able to tell me what I should / shouldn't be doing.

We have some close friends of ours that have been TTC for about 18 months with no luck. DH and I started almost a year after them and are now 9 weeks away from expecting our bubs. I know they're happy for us and all that. but I can't help feeling a bit bad and try not to have too much baby talk around them. We're all sharing a house, so we're pretty much always together, and as much as I would love for her to be experiencing things with me and making a point of getting her to feel when the baby kicks, sharing little tit bits with her etc, I also feel like it might make her feel sad. (hope this is making sense), so I don't really fuss too much about the pregnancy at all - not that I ever want to become one of those women that can only talk about babies now, but I purposely do make an effort to probably avoid talking about it heaps so as not to upset them.

But, I also want to be able to help them and offer advice and support through their TTC but I find it hard to ask questions again for the same reason.

This is a complete babble I'm sure, but hope this makes sense, and hope someone can offer advice as to what you'd be wanting your pregnant friends to be doing or acting to help you.

Jules
