Soo here we go.... My husband's best friend and his wife are expecting she got pregnant on first try despite the fact she got the morning after pill.. Long story short, she has no friends here, no family, nobody... She is now in the hospital just been induced and I'm her second birth partner... I said yes because the guy is like my brother and he asked me to... Im not ready to do that, don't know how i will feel but he is like family and i can't let them down... Send some positive vibes my way i hope this experience won't bring the anxiety and sadness back but will make me stronger... Have a lovely evening everyone 😍😍😍😍😍

I couldn't say no. Im worried but i can do that and i will! We should never leave people in need isn't it? ❀❀❀❀xxxx

Wow. Well done to you. Hopefully by being there supporting your friend your body will get the message of what it's meant to do.

Hats off to you most definitely. It is a tough situation and one that many would not be able to cope with. Xxx

That's really kind of you. Sometimes the second birthing partner just ends up being a spare part to get drinks and essentials etc.

And you'll probably end up having a very special relationship with the baby! Surely that's gotta be good for baby dust lol.

Good luck :)

Ended up not going in which was a good thing tbh. This year was full of babies hahaha at one point i thought i will get mad. Ny BF had a baby a month ago and im her God mother.. Since this baby came I've totally changed my point of view and stopped getting so upset and anxious. Xxxx

Well done for doing this, she is very lucky to have you as a friend. Despite our tough journey, life with infertility is still life and sometimes we need to be there for our friends. The couple chose you to share one of their special moments, you must feel very proud that you are loved and appreciated. Try to see it in a positive way. You will be a mother one way or another, you just don’t know when. Good luck and very well done xx.

You still did what was good for you and you were there for them at the same time. If they are good friends of yours I’m sure they will understand and be very happy that you found an alternative way to support them. Very best of luck, you deserve the same happiness xx.
