Everyone I know pregnant

Rant/Vent

Hi,

I’m struggling with some feelings. I had an early loss almost a year ago. It was an unplanned pregnancy, but it was still very traumatizing. My feelings about it were mixed. On one hand, I felt a bit relieved. However, I also felt feelings of sadness. I was guilty, like I wasn’t grieving “right.”

Well, now it seems like everyone I know is either pregnant or has a newborn baby. It can be hard, regardless that I’m happy for them. My best friend just had her baby. I’ve been very supportive. She asked me to come see her in the hospital and I did. The visit went well. I don’t quite know how to act around her and her child though. I just try to be myself, but it’s so alien. It’s been just me and her for years. My other friend is pregnant and I try to keep in contact with her and show an interest in her life.

Idk though, it just feels so foreign. Simultaneously, I also feel fomo. Any advice??
