Today, a pregnant friend who is due in 2 weeks posted a picture of a baby on Facebook. I commented congratulations. She's still pregnant. It was a picture of her baby who died 3 years ago. FML

Today, I bumped into an old school friend. I'd heard she was pregnant so the first thing I did was congratulate her. Not only was she not pregnant, but the reason she managed to get so fat was because of comfort eating due to her miscarriage last month. FML

Today, I found out my mom had a miscarriage before I was born. I had no idea about this, and the reason I found out was that she posted it on Facebook, where I'm friends with her. She feels fine posting about this to complete strangers but not talking to me about it? FML

Today, I received several texts congratulating me on my pregnancy. It turns out that my husband announced he is going to be a father on Facebook, which I don't use. I'm not pregnant. FML

Today, I found out that I'm pregnant and sent a picture of the positive test to my boyfriend. Before I got a text back from him, I saw his newly updated Facebook status, which read, "This has got to be the most depressing day of my life." FML

Today, my good friend who just had a baby girl sent her newborn's pictures to me via picture message. To reply, instead of writing "Awwwwww" I wrote "Ewwwwww" by mistake. FML

Today, my family attended the funeral of an old family friend's baby, who died in childbirth. Afterwards, my husband went around snickering and quietly telling dead baby jokes to the other attendees. FML

Today, my friend was showing me pictures of her and her family. I told her to stop at one of the pictures. I started laughing my back off and said that she looked grotesque. She asked me if I was serious, I swore that I was. It was actually a picture of her sister, who died 1 year ago. FML

Today, at work, we were gathered to be told some bad news. One of our colleagues would be taking indefinite leave because his wife had dropped their newborn baby. I accidentally laughed at the image. FML

Similarly, I have a friend who posted an entire album onto Facebook of his Great Uncle's Funeral - I can imagine, "I'm really gonna miss him. But anyway let's take some photos for Facebook". Back to the point though, it's really not your fault, how were you supposed to know (that is, unless she clarified it in the caption, in which case YDI).

Lets be realistic. Your friend is an idiot for posting a picture of a dead baby days before a new one comes out. You should feel bad, not because you congratulated her for the wrong thing, but because your friend lacks mental acuity

Oh dear, i bet you must have felt sorry. Cheer up OP. It's not your fault.

Although I think losing a child is extremely tragic, I think posting a picture of a stillborn is a little insensitive. I have a "Facebook friend" who recently did this; I'm almost 8 months pregnant and this really bothered me. It definitely has added to my anxiety.
