Hi leigh,
I hope your friend is doing ok. I was sort of in a similar situation, I found out I was pregnant only 4 months after meeting my now DH. We were shocked (and only 19) and soooo scared. It didnt go down so great with the family at first but we all stuck together and supported eachother and now we cant imagine life any other way.
Last year my two sisters found out they were pregnant, one is 21 and the other almost 23. One sister decided after 8 weeks that she would keep her baby, she is in a relationship with a great guy who is 30 and although they had only been seeing eachother for a couple of months, they worked it out and are now happier than ever. My other sister decided it was just not possible to have a baby and she had an abortion. I also found out I was pregnant at this time, so my poor mum had 3 daughters pregnant, each with different feelings about it and each ending with a different outcome, 1 birth, 1 abortion and 1 m/c. Crazy time. Although it was hard to imagine someone not wanting their baby, I understood that this was the best thing for her. And watching my other sister go on to have a smooth pregnancy was a little hard, but meeting my nephew has been amazing and I love him so much. I guess no matter what happens, you just have to surround yourself with supportive people, listen to eachother and trust that what you feel you need to do is the right thing.
I really hope your friend is ok and has supportive people around her, she is lucky to have you, you sound like a very supportive and understanding friend, even though you are having a difficult time yourself.
And I hope you are ok, even when I didnt feel so jealous about certain people who announced their pregnancies, it can still be hard to see someone in a position (pg)that you wish so much you were in.
