[quote=Anonymous]OP, you're a nice person and I think a lot of the posters here are being pretty harsh, even if I agree with their advice. I had a stillbirth myself - and I can't even imagine losing one's 5 month old to SIDS, how terrible - and with my subsequent pregnancy I frankly didn't want to think about being pregnant/having a baby AT ALL until I was at least past the date of loss. I especially didn't want to interact with friends about it, even though I know how loving and well-meaning they all are (as you are). I did not want a baby shower and I am still so grateful my friends, family, and colleagues respected that. The ideas to do something for your friend as a person, rather than as a mother, are good ones in my opinion. I wouldn't tie it in any way to her pregnancy, honestly. Just being there for her, going out and having a good time at movies, lunch/dinner, mani-pedis, all that seems the way to go to me, for what it's worth.[/quote]
