Fingers crossed for your friend, lets hope everything ends up being oksay for her.
Scan tomorrow - oh my, oh my, oh my. I can't tell if my nausea has increased, or I'm just super nervous. It will be nice to have a definate date aswell because me and mid-wife are a week out.
Ladies, can I have some advice please about telling a friend - and I apologise for the essay, but its worrying me.
She was my Chief Bridesmaid at our wedding in July, and in normal circumstances would have been the only person outside of close family I'd have told before twelve weeks. However, after four years togther - three of which they were engaged, her OH left her in October. She's understnadably still very upset about it all, and is flat out refusing to move on. She's still fixated on how to get him back, and constantly going into herself.
In Nov she phoned another close friend of ours saying she was walking over to the train station to jump infront of a train, the past couple of months has been full of text/phones calls late at night. She's been lashing out at all of her friends - and while I really can try to understand it - I've spent a lot of time crying over worrying about her the last few months. I wish I could make it all better for her, but no matter if we're pandering to her feelings, telling her straight, refusing to talk about it, or anything else, we're doing it wrong - and she's happy to tell us we're bad friends right now.
SO....through this, me and hubby have grown incredibaly close to two of the friends we met through her and him, that before we were getting closer to, but not like this.
They are two people, other than me, that have taken the bulk of the abuse, and who she is not very happy with. They know about the pregnancy because we needed someone to speak to.
I would have loved to tell my best friend, but she tells me how jelous she is that we got married (even though in three years she didn't start organising her own), and that all she wants is to go back, get married and have his kids. She's so fragile, and I've been so scared of telling her. So scared of how she is going to react.
I've invited her for a coffee tomorrow after the scan, because I want her to be the first person I show the scan to. BUT, I think she knows. I don't knwo if she's picked up on comments (or my bloat!) but she outright asked if I have an announcment last night. Now, in your opinion do you ladies think I should tell her the others know? I know its such a small thing in real terms, but I don't want to **** everything up. I feel guilty for telling them and not her, but she's not made it easy either.
I've lost I don't know how many hours sleep over this, and its just msking me feel like even more of a bag of nerves right now.... I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place. I genuinly think I'm going to lose my best friend tomorrow because she's so hurt, so angry and so bitter right now she's going to hate me for having something else that she won't at the moment..
