... the pregnancy announcements and pregnant friends? Especially those with similar EDDs?
A good friend of mine, who I will see frequently in the next six months, is pregnant. Her EDD is four days before what mine was. I knew that before I miscarried. I knew it would be, will be, tough seeing her for the next six months and watching her belly grow. I haven't quite worked out how to deal with it but she at least knows that I've lost a baby and will treat it, and me, respectfully.
But now another friend of mine, who I will see infrequently but who I still consider a friend, has just announced her pregnancy - due May. Another one. Another one in May. I'm so happy for her - but at the same time I'm dreading seeing her get a big belly and I'm already dreading meeting her new baby.
Am I over-analysing? Stressing myself out over what might be nothing?
