Is it normal to feel happy for my friend, but so sad as she is pregnant?

Question

My friend has just announced that she is pregnant. She is 14 weeks she shared her first scan photos on facebook. She also shared a bump photo also announcing her due date. 
I have had a chemical pregnancy last December and I had also had a miscarriage at 7 weeks pregnant in May. 
I havent yet announced these pregnancy to anyone as I was going to wait for my first scan.
I felt so triggered when I saw her post, I sent my congratulations to her as I am really happy for her and she will be a great mom.
I just feel like a failure as I never made it to even have a scan photo or a bump photo. I have been feeling so down since I saw the post and I just wish I was pregnant too :(

Answer

You’re human love, it’s normal and don’t beat yourself up. You congratulated her as long as you aren’t weird towards her for being pregnant you having feelings of being sad cause you want to be pregnant as well is just normal human emotions and is Valid!

Answer

You get to feel what you feel! It's totally normal to be happy or sad or both!
I had to delete all my social media because I couldn't handle seeing everyone else happy and announcing pregnancies. It was affecting my mental health and I've been so much better off now that I've done it. I'm lucky enough to be pregnant again after 3 losses but I'm happy I'm not posting on social media so that I'm personally not adding to others possible hurt feelings. 
It's a complicated situation, and you're right no matter how you're feeling!

Answer

Yes absolutely and you’re still a good friend and person for being happy for her. My husband and I have been trying over a year to have a second child and my best fell pregnant with her second by accident and not trying, I of course was happy and planned the baby shower and all that but the day she told me I got home and cried for hours. You’re not alone in feeling both happy and jealous/sad

Answer

I had a miscarriage in May at just over 6 weeks, a few weeks after my sister gave birth to her third baby. I felt so upset for a few days, it’s heartbreaking when all you want is a baby but you have to watch someone have that happiness

Answer

I get it 100000%. I went to a family event this weekend and one of my husband's cousins is 18 weeks pregnant. I lost a baby in April, and im now 9 weeks pregnant again. Everyone was so excited for her and it made me really sad even though I'm pregnant now and they don't know about it. My angel baby would have been due at the beginning of November so its hard to see others so excited. I have a hard time with the people who were pregnant around the same time I was, as there babies will be here soon and I lost mine. It's really hard. 
You're not alone. ❤
