I’m pregnant and a coworker has had multiple losses this year

I’m currently pregnant and haven’t told many people due to a coworker who has had a few losses this year.

we aren’t very close, but our offices are next door to each other and we got engaged and married around the same time. I knew she was going to start trying right away. while I was going to wait a while to start.

I’ve been wanting to announce soon as I’m in my second trimester and have coworkers on social media. but I wanted her to know from me first instead of finding out through other people where she wouldn’t be able to process or if she was around other people

I finally told her yesterday end of day and on a long weekend. I was so nervous, my voice was shaking and said it really fast. she said congratulations and she was happy for me but I could tell she was devastated.

I feel awful and awkward and mean. I know she was crying after. I’m so nervous to see her again. any advice welcome
