Mj mummy-
Feeling down when approaching due date of your baby is totally normal. These dates are significant. You will never get over it as you relatives suggest. The experiences you have had will change you.(stronger , more compassion for other people greiving) I have just yesterday remembered my little Noah it was one year since I gave birth to him. The M/C I had in sept 05, I was almost insane with grief as the due date approached similiar to you had a good friend that was due around the same time she had her baby. All I could do was cry and scream. I just wanted what she had. Family who are insensitive. Oh what a shame you can't p*ss them off for good. But you cant do that with family. 2nd anniversary of my 05 M/C on the 17 th September. It is easier now that I have a new baby, concieved 5 week after Noah, so he wouldn't be here If I ddin't have Noah when I did. I think my grief was compounded by our fertility problems (difficulty concieving) and being unsure if I could have more children. I also had a few so called friends who avoided me because they couldn't deal with the unfairness of life. Gee thanks, that made it worse. But I realized they were the weak ones and not true friends anyway so nothing lost really.
Continue to hope and trust in your body and I hope you get that much awaited baby in your arms soon, luv smiley
