Dealing with pregnancy announcement same week as miscarriage

introduction post

I don’t know why I’m posting here other than the comfort of knowing that someone else is going through the same thing. I had a miscarriage on Monday and am still bleeding heavily and in pain, about 9.5 weeks pregnant. We have struggled with fertility for years and whilst I know statistics about miscarriage the actual physical and mental pain has come as a shock.

Today my best friend told me that she was pregnant though it’s early days. I want so badly to be happy for her as she has always been so supportive of me, but at the same time I can’t stop crying since she told me. I managed to hold it together as much as I can when she was with me but it’s knocked me sideways, especially as she got pregnant first time even trying when we struggled for ages. I want so badly to be happy for her like she has been with me, but the selfish part of me feels like why is she telling me about her new baby when mine is still passing out my body. Feeling like a crap friend and just needed to get it off my chest.
