Thank  Ladies. It's My Third Pregnancy And I Worry About Making Her Feel Worse When I Have An Appointment Or Ultrasound. I Know She Is Excited For Me And I Wish Her A Rainbow Baby When She Decides To Try Again.

I have a family friend who was due a week after me and we were so excited! Its my first baby and she already has 3 daughters. At around 10 weeks she miscarried and I felt so guilty everytime I had an ultrasound or shared belly pics with my friends and family. But its not your fault she had a miscarriage..it happens. You still have to enjoy and cherish your pregnancy.

I already knew my daughter was a girl when one of my best friends miscarried. I felt so helpless and almost selfish. I was wrapped up in happiness about my daughter. That's all I talked about and pretty much all I put on Facebook. We weren't as close for a while, mainly because I didn't know what to say or how to make her feel better.
She needs time to mourn. That's all I can figure. This friend I've referenced just had her first baby last month and she's doing okay now. Obviously she wishes that somehow she could have not miscarried but we're close again.
It's okay to be excited about your pregnancy. Your friend understands. It just hurts right now. You could tone down the excitement a bit in front of her but don't pretend you aren't happy and excited. That's a slap in the face because she was happy and lost her baby. If you pretend you aren't happy it could really hurt get.
Good luck mama. Pregnancy is hard anyway but it's really hard with a situation like this! You'll get through it.
