need your thoughts and prayers

i lost my little one back in feb when i was 10 weeks so would have been due at the end of september. I booked a holiday a year ago with my best friend, her husband, her child and my husband.

We leave on saturday for a week to france. Thing is, my best friend announced she was pg! she is due in october, roughly 2 weeks after I would have been due.

I dont know how i am going to get through this holiday, she has a bump and her 18 month old boy will be there too.

I am so sad just now and not looking forward to this holiday

Hi Franky, did not want to just read and run, my friend is pregnant, she got pregnant 2 weeks after we lost our baby, she says it was unplanned, not really excited about it and it is really really hard to be in her company, but, I do spend time with her, I just tell myself, my time will come again and for now I try and just take each day as it comes, she is still my friend after all and its not her fault my baby was only with me for a short time and I never got to take him home. Try and remember why you are friends and how you felt when you planned and booked this holiday.. I am sure she is as anxious and worried about the holiday as you are, it is hard on you all but you can get through the holiday and you never know, it may well be the time away from it all that you need...

hugs

Oh Franky

Don't really have much advice hun, but I wanted to send you tonnes of

It is difficult being around children and babies, but you get through, after I lost Seb I dreaded seeing my friend and her young daughter, and now I love it, while my heart it heavy with grief from losing my boy, I do get to escape for a while from my sadness to play with my friends daughter...

I hope it goes as well as it can hun x

I know it is tough. My sister in law gave birth to hers just after we lost ours, and the other sister in law is due 2 months before I was.
I dreaded seeing the new baby, but I've actually found it really therapeutic. I know I can't blame anyone for what happened to our baby, and I have been able to enjoy other peoples babies (while still desperately hoping for one of my own)
I hope your friend is a sensitive girl who makes this as easy as possible. And hey, you're going to France- it is gorgeous there, and you'll hopefully enjoy the location, if nothing else!
