My friend, who's been trying to fall pregnant for 18 months, is currently in hospital giving birth to her 22 week old baby.

She was the first person I found IRL who truly understood LTTTC, as she and her husband were also living it. I was so ecstatic when she told me she was pregnant, only to lose her first at 10 weeks. I tried hard to distract her when she got to 10 weeks this time, and we both sighed with relief as the milestone passed uneventfully.

I saw her just a couple of weeks ago, and she was rubbing her belly and being kicked, and so excited. 2 days ago she went into hard and fast labour, and the doctors managed to stop it, putting her on complete bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy, which was supposed to last a hell of a lot longer than 2 days.

*VENT*

Isn't it enough that we have to go through so much just to GET pregnant?! She should've been able to feel safe! She'll never be able to enjoy a pregnancy now! I would give ANYTHING to save her baby, I can't stand to know she's in so much pain.

....I don't know what else to say, I'm sobbing at the moment. I have to go to work but I'm gonna be crying all day. I'd go to the hospital but she has closer friends there - we're only friends through our TTC journey. I have so much emotion running through me, I feel like I'll explode
