I lost my baby about 1.5 weeks ago, I was 8.5 weeks pregnant. I thought I was coping ok, I can now get to sleep without crying every night & I can look at my ultrasound pics & not burst in to tears.

Don't get me wrong I am still sad but I have a toddler to look after & she helps make me smile.

The reason I am writing this is that I wanted to get advice on coping with friends that are pregnant. I currently have 3 who are all due around April & I feel I am ok with that but I have just found out a friend is 6 weeks pregnant. I am very happy for her but at the same time am upset because I will see her throughout the pregnancy & she will be due only weeks after I would have been. I just feel like it will be a constant reminder of what I have lost. Its a horrible thing to say but I am a little jealous of her too because she'd only be trying a short time & we are going through IVF (does this make me a bad person?)

I think I am also overwhelmed at the moment too because I keep getting bills from when I had the D&C & thats not helping!

I don't want to avoid my friends, I want to join them in their excitement. Maybe it'll just take time...
