My Coworker and BFF is pg, but at 4 & 5 weeks her OB has only seen a gestational sac. she's been having some spotting and cramping. 2 or more episodes since Sat. She left work 2day for some cramping and spotting. each time she goes to the Dr she's they can't find any spotting on vag exam. Her doc told her today that it could be nothing or it could be a blighted ovum at which point there's nothing he can do.
The catch to this is that I'm going on 10 weeks soon and my pg after my pg loss last fall is going well, and DH and I's baby is developing and growing good. And she's seen my u/s pics, prior to her finding out she was pg. She's seen all of them up to 9 weeks. I turn 10 on Monday. She also, knows that at my 5 week scan we saw a tiny baby, but at her 4 & 5 week scan they've seen only the sac and no teeny weeny baby.
I don't know how to react, as if this is a pg loss for her and her DH. I don't know what to think. i JUST know I'll feel weird around her. And I don't want to alienate her, because she was there for me when i lost Dot last year.
But is there a possiblity that it's just to early or i this a bo for her? If it is how should I be with her being that I'm pg with a baby bump now and she may be losing her pg? Help!!!!

it could be too early for your friend, and it could just be the ultrasound technique or equipment. i say it's never over until it's over!

It could just be too early to tell. My doctor says you really can't see anything to around week 6-7. My best friend lost her baby a couple of months ago. it was hard because i'm doing well. but now i've just decided that this child is a miracle child and were sharing it so to speak. lol i think all you can do is be there for her. god bless

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
