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 mother posted a video of me giving birth, on Facebook. FML
Today, my sister announced her pregnancy at my husband's funeral. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I can see how she would want to show respect and remembrance for the baby she lost, but it's easy to mistake that as her showing her new baby, especially if you n

*never knew. I bet there were others who made the very same mistake.

I really understand that she wants to remember that baby, especially at this point, but she could've said something with the picture. I hope that you make things up with her, OP.

Not your fault OP, it was an honest mistake. There are babies that are born two weeks early, and you didn't know. It's ok.

agree with everyone saying. its not your fault. she shouldn't have put it up. two weeks before she was due. I'm sure she will understand if you talk to her about it. if she truly is your friend.

Who the **** posts a picture of their dead baby when their due??? Not your fault, OP!!!

As you couldn't know that, I think that a simple apology would be enough. If she wasn't pregnant (and, therefore, likely to have her judgement being a bit impaired), even an apology won't be necessary.

Reminds me, I was once at a party/gathering and making polite chitchat with a pregnant lady there. I asked if this was her first child (which is a very common question) only to hear her break down and cry about how she has had several miscarriages including having to go through the birthing process of a stillborn. Holy hell! I will never ask anyone that question again!

Right up there with "When's the baby due" to a woman who's never been pregnant.

Ok for one all the people saying who posts pics of their dead baby, well you never know it could be the anniversary of their baby's death, my sister died and my mom does that and two if your their friend did you not know they had a kid that died and don't you think that she would've said something like "just had my baby"

But don't you think se would have said something along the lines of always in my heart or rip or SOMETHING for the dead baby as well? It is just very misleading to post a picture of a baby so close to a due date with no caption. If it was the anniversary of the death then some words would also have accompanied the picture most of the time.

Not your fault at all. I would have made the same mistake. She should have clarified the picture.

How could you know that? Most women don't tell people "Oh, I had a baby that died." Because it hurts to think or talk about it! I know from personal experience! Not your fault!
