I'm a little older, I got married last in most of my friend circles, so my friends having babies is nothing new.
Having a miscarriage while your friends are having babies can be devastating, I get it.
Not Fair 1:
The day my HCG numbers confirmed the pregnancy wasn't viable my good friend from high school sent a picture of an unexpected positive pregnancy test. Happy for her, sad for me.
Not Fair 2:
The day I started spotting, my good friend from school sent us a message sharing she was pregnant. Happy for her sad for me.
Both of these friends were due a couple of weeks before my anticipated due date of May 26th. Talk about rough! I prepared myself to watch their bellies grow and hear about their pregnancy, knowing I should be experiencing the same. I felt like I couldn't share with these friends because I didn't want to be the Debbie Downer, I didn't want them to feel bad for me, or make them feel awkward. So I decided I wouldn't say anything...I'm glad I changed that decision down the road.
