That's great that you two are going to have a get together.

I'm going out with one of my best friends today who is 10 weeks pregnant and I'm only 3 weeks behind her and will tell her today. She's going to be totally over the moon as we'd been talking for the last year about how it would be awesome to be pregnant together.

Then there's a little bit of me that worries about how our friendship could be affected if one or the other of us has a miscariange and has to see the other one continue with their pregnany. I think we're strong friends and can weather a storm like that but it would put a pretty awful strain on our relationship.

I have a friend with a 2 year old who was pregnant at the same time as her best friend and then the friend miscarried at 20 weeks, since then, they've not been able to talk and the friendship has fallen into the 'aquaintance' catagory. I'd hate for that to happen with Anna and I but I know I can't be scared of that and I should believe that when it comes down to it, we're stronger than that.

I've also started to become friendly with a mum of a a child at our school who is adopted. She and I are still getting to know each other and I think we could make good friends but I'm not looking forward to being huge pregnant in front of her because I've seen the sad look she has when other mums come in with their huge bellies or their tiny newborns. I guess I'll have to crosss that bridge when I come to it.

Good luck with your gettogether!
