A friend of mine recently found out that her baby has no heartbeat. She had an early scan due to one previous ectopic & one miscarriage & everything was fine but they couldn't find the heartbeat at the 12 week scan. I'm so devastated for them. We'd all figured that it was going to be ok this time because they'd found the heartbeat early on! I've never had to go through it myself so I've no idea what to say to her. I know there's nothing I can do/say to make it any better but I don't want to just act like nothing's happened!
It makes it harder that I'm 30 weeks pregnant. I just don't know what to do for the best. I feel like I shouldn't be around her because I don't want my pregnancy to upset her but I really don't want her to feel like I've abandoned her.
Someone tell me what to do?! I'm useless at all this sensitive stuff & pretty much always either do the wrong thing or over-think it to the point where I don't do anything & end up feeling like people think I just don't care!
