I agree with Willow - you have to say something. I found one of the hardest things to cope with when I lost my angels was everybody else's reluctance to acknowledge their existence. It made me so angry. I know (now) that it was more a case of people not knowing what to say, but even a simple "I am so sorry you lost your baby" would have done wonders rather than people ignoring the subject completely and pretending like my pregnancies had never happened. I also know how it is to lose a baby and yet be surrounded by pregnant women - its really tough. You are in a difficult situation - you should rejoice in your own pregnancy and be allowed to do that, but you need to try to keep it in check with them. You may find that given time to heal, they will want to be more involved in your pregnancy, which is great. Just be prepared for them not to want to know about it too - after all, they'll be watching you and your DH go through a pregnancy knowing they should be going through the same experiences and emotions. Good luck.
