Advice?

I had an old friend message me after seeing my post about my ectopic pregnancy and she responded with oh it will happen one day, you will be a mother one day. And I couldn’t help myself but blow up on her. She had a chemical miscarriage within her first 2 weeks. Which I understand miscarriages are also hard to handle. But she compared my adnexal ectopic pregnancy to her chemical pregnancy and was acting like I wasn’t a mother. Am I in the wrong for blowing up on her and educating her the difference between the two? I was actively bleeding out and the baby had a heart beat of 130bmp and the doctors told me I would have died within a week if I continued to carry.

I have seen people compare the ectopic with a miscarriage, it’s really not the same. However I do believe she was trying to be supportive and maybe you were a little emotional. It’s okay and understandable.I do believe people haven’t heard of an ectopic and do not understand it at all. Just apologise if you feel that’s right and be there for her if you can xxx
