This happened a week ago and I'm finally thinking about this without cursing myself.
So, about a week ago my new neighbour called me because we were supposed to go to a colony meeting together.
About an hour before we were supposed to leave she calls me to tell me that she won't be able to come. I said okay then asked if everything is okay. She said, "Yeah. I did a pregnancy test this morning and it was positive-"
And this is where I went "congratulations!!!!" before letting her complete her sentence.
She went, "Yeah...no. I actually had a miscarriage few hours later."
My brain froze in horror and guilt. I have lost count the number of times I said sorry to hear that day.
She says it's not a big deal, but everytime I put myself in her shoes I feel worse.
It's been over a week and this still makes me wince.
TL;DR Congratulaed neighbour on conceiving before letting her finish that she had instead suffered a miscarriage.
