Late Term and Child Loss

Reached out to my pg friend finally

I have a friend who is due about a month after I was. I've only seen her once since my loss and it was really hard. She has been in touch but I can tell she's holding back a bit since she probably feels awkward.

She sent me a birthday card this week so I took her cue. I just texted her & said thanks for the card, I miss her & I hope all is well. Then I said I hope everything is going okay w/ the pregnancy and that I wish I could check in on her more but it is hard. I mentioned that my due date is approaching and it's hard to not think of what could have been, but that I genuinely hope everything is going well for her & the baby. I said that I hope she can forgive me if I am being a bad friend.

I feel like I swallowed a big girl pill! Kind of proud of myself. I hope it is received well.

  • That is great that you were able to do that!

    My sister (who I am very close with) is pregnant and due about a month after my EDD as well.  It is hard and I know that come July when she has her baby, I will be happy for her, but sad at the same time.  It just stinks!!

  • I am so proud of you! That was a huge step.  Be proud of yourself and if she is half as good a friend as you are she doesn't think you are being a bad friend.  I am sure she understands.
