feeling guilty... any advice?
Hello, and love to my fellow November moms! I'm a first timer. Calculating my due date at 11/05, feeling excited but scared... not sure if my nausea is morning sickness or nerves, haha. I'm also feeling guilty and need some advice.
My friend "Sara" and her husband started TTC about 1 year ago. My husband and I joined her about 5 months ago, and we talked about how much fun it would be to be pregnant and raise babies together. Sara has conceived twice in a year, but had two miscarriages, the most recent in January. And then I got pregnant in February. Should I have put off TTC out of respect for my friend? On the one hand, I hate that my pregnancy may cause her pain. I recognize and honor her pain and frustration, and would never want to make it harder. On the other hand, my medical history makes it harder to conceive, so I feel extremely lucky that I conceived after 5 months. If I had waited, who knows? It could have taken years. Maybe this was my one shot.
I haven't told her my news yet. And I'm not asking anyone to absolve my guilt. But if you've been in a similar situation (on either side), how did it make you feel? How did you handle it?
