Supporting friend
TW: Miscarriage
Hi all. I’m currently pregnant (~19 weeks) after a TFMR at 23+5 last year. I have a dear friend who was such a rock during this time.
She recently told me she was pregnant (FTM) and I watched her puppy while she and her husband went to an early reassurance scan. Unfortunately it was not the news anyone wants and looks like a MMC.
I want to be there in the way she was for me but I know it can be triggering to be around pregnant friends as well. For me I wasn’t jealous but just felt an ache for what could have been when I was with pregnant friends or newborns.
I really would appreciate any advice on how I might be able to support in the way that she was there for me. Any ideas of things that really helped from friends would be amazing. Thank you ❤️
