Working with a pregnant woman after a loss

[fatmama]

I lost my twins 10 weeks ago now and mostly can deal with it ok on a day-to-day basis.

But in a week I start a new job and will be working with 1 pregnant woman while filling the position of a woman on maternity leave. Obviously in a professional setting there won't be a huge amount of baby talk, but it just breaks my heart that I'll have to be so reminded of what I've lost. I would have been giving birth in the next month or so if I hadn't had the FDIU (foetal death in utereo).

Guess I will just have to grit my teeth and get through it and hope to be pregnant again soon.

Oh hunny I'm so very sorry to learn of precious little angel twins. I don't have any words of advice but would like to give you a

Oh honey, I am so sorry for your loss.

After I lost Noah, I started a course for my job where I was in another office. In that office the receptionist was as pregnant as I should have been. It was soooooooooo hard for me seeing her belly every day I was there and eventually meeting her little girl. I honestly don't know how I go through it. I think I got by because after the inital shock of seeing her pregnant, I realised it was her pregnancy and not mine. I actually worried about her at times and hoped so much her baby would be healthy. After a short while I looked forward to meeting her little girl.

I hope you don't find it too difficult... I really do understand your apprehension though. Please know I am thinking about you
