I'm Currently Feeling:  | friends...
This weekend, me and my OH decided to tell a couple of our best friends who we trust with everything that we're expecting. But their reaction wasnt really what i was expecting. They kinda seemed to think we were ruening our lives. No congratulations or nothing, just asked where we were gunna live and what i was gunna do about uni!.
Its really wierd becuase they were so great about the miscarriage.
Was a bit of a bummer! left us feeling a bit low!
And now my OH is working away for a week, and i'm all alone here, no-one to talk to, and im hugely emotional and feeling so low!.
I just want to cry all the time!

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Oh, I am so sorry lovely. Your friends maybe concerned as you had your loss before.
Dont take it too much to heart. They may have just been surprised by your news.
As long as you and your OH are happy, that is all that counts.
Sending you a hug  | | | | Status: Offline

| why would they think you are ruining your life! if anything, they should be jealous imho! dont let negativity creep in to your life, just brush it off and surround yourself with people who make you happy! life is too short to worry with others opinions sweetie!

CONGRATS TO YOU AND OH! | I think the whole "ruening our lives thing" is becuase im in my first year at uni and im only 19. Just bummed me out is all! I thought i'd atleast get a hug, rather than constantly being asked if im sure i want this.
Thank you! and congrats to you two too! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Wow! I am sorry to hear their comments about your wonderful news. Could be that they are jealous. Or it could be that they are not people who want children. Embrace your expectancy and don't let others comments bother you. | | | | Status: Online

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Don't take it to heart. You know what's best for you and I am sure your uni has creches and things (you should find out about your options). Your friends will probably come around in time.

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Although i got a good response from all my family and friends about me being pregnant, one of my closest friends was rather blunt and vague, didn't seem to really care. she was like "are you joking" i said "no course not, why?" and she said "just a bit shocked thats all" .
I was really peeved off about it. Haven't really bothered with her since. As long as i have my OH, family and friends (that are happy for me) around me, i don't really care what she thinks my baby and family are the most important thing in the world to me! | | | | Status: Offline
