So im asking for a friend here, so recently she found out she was pregnant, but early on before it was confirmed, she was scared and paranoid that there was an embryo and it had died without her knowledge. So she looked up “is it possible for a baby to be killed in less than two weeks” or something like that, and she got her answer that it was impossible but she had felt horrible for wording her search that way. She just wanted to make sure that it was impossible for it to die early on but her search made it seem like she had malicious intentions. I tried telling her that it was impossible for that to be a sin, since she did not have any malicious intent at heart, but she feels horrible about it, and would want more Catholics to confirm whether it would be a sin or not. Shes also going to confession an a few weeks so yeah.

This is so far from a sin that I wonder if maybe your friend has some scrupulous tendencies. Maybe suggest she discuss her anxiety with a priest.

Yeah, potentially. Priests deal with a lot of scrupulous types and presumably are pretty good at figuring out whether someone is just confused about what constitutes sin or whether they just have a mental disorder.
 
Thank you everyone for your answers! I showed them too her and she has felt put at ease now! And to everyone who thinks she has scrups, she does and is currently fighting back. God bless you all! Shes says thank you for all the congrats!

I don’t see how that is a sin if she was just looking for information about early pregnancy complications.
 
She was worried about her wording being wrong and referring to something malicious 😓
 
She needs to talk to her Confessor about her scrupulosity, and seek help with that. It is very important.
 
I apologise if I am prying OP, but I recall you making this post earlier except it was you and not a friend.

If you are the one struggling, please talk to your Priest as soon as possible. Your worries aren’t going to lessen until you speak to someone offline who is able to give you specific support.

Again, I’m sorry if I’m wrong. If I am, please tell the above to your friend.
 
It was my friend using the account earlier! She wanted me to ask for her because she felt awkward in asking her self she deleted it.
 
Okay, I apologise for questioning otherwise. I was concerned if it was you struggling but you didn’t feel comfortable asking for yourself.

I hope she seeks help and feels better soon.
 
no worries! Actually there was a point of time in which i was like that, but talking with a priest did help! I will give my friend your advice! Thank you!
