AIBU to not want to hear about the duchess of cambridges impending birth?

[milkyman]

I had a mc at 6 weeks back in august. Im ok about it but every time I here that their baby is due mid april i feel sick as our baby would be due then. Ive had friends give birth this year and not had this feeling?

I think you are being a bit unreasonable. It's not her fault she's got the same due date but I can understand you not wanting babies thrust in your face all the time.

It's hard to avoid but unless you stay home with all devices switched off you can't avoid this baby or any others.

Sorry you are still feeling so raw.

I know how you feel, I felt like that with her last one. It's unbearable to read about isn't it? Seeing pregnant women used to cause me actual physical pain. When someone had a similar due date to me it was even worse.

It will get easier, it takes time, as clichéd as that sounds. I hope things start getting easier for you soon.

Sorry to hear that.

It will be pretty hard to avoid, practically speaking.

I left the country for the wedding to try to avoid the blanket coverage (because I find it all so tedious and slebby, not for such upsetting reasons as you have now). Didn't work

I don't think you are being unreasonable. If something upsets and hurts, particularly after miscarriage then it just does.

I imagine it's difficult in part because it will be blanket press coverage and no getting away. It's only a small thing, but do you have a project or something to occupy your time so you can avoid the worst of the media?

It's ok to feel how you do, feelings aren't always logical.

YANBU. I sobbed when Prince George was born as I'd just been diagnosed as infertile and referred for IVF. Now she's pregnant again and I've had a miscarriage and a failed IVF. I try to avoid the press, but when the baby is born it will be impossible.

My colleague was pregnant at the same time as me and her due date was 9 days after mine would have been. Last year was bloody awful.

Certainly not unreasonable. My DD was born around the same time as Prince George and, even knowing that I was finally pregnant and going to get my baby, I still couldn't bear it. And i certainly don't want to know anything about it this time, since she can have more babies that I want and I can't have (unless we try ICSI again).

(Yes, I know it's not rational, but unfortunately this coping with infertility doesn't make you rational.)

Another good reason for press to stop blithering on about such a non topic.

And the irony is the Cambridges don't seem to want all this reporting either.

I think the news has been fairly quiet about it actually, not the same interest as with Prince George.

Not sure how you'll avoid it totally tbh.

"pregnant woman will give birth"

wow, that's news, that is! YANBU!

(I can see that some may like to know when it's happened - NOT me - but no reason to hear about it before or during)

Sorry for your loss, I know that feeling but it my own DD that causes me to get a little upset. She was a twin but I MC her twin at 7 weeks. Given birth was a bitter sweet.

YANBU

I was struggling with TTC around the time PG was born, and was so sick of all the fuss every time the news came on, for a bout a week before the birth, all the bloody way through the birth and then for another week afterwards.

I had my much struggled for baby last year, so in a happier place now, but i thought only this morning of all the people out there that this next media production birth will cause upset to.

(hopefully it will be less this time, this is the spare and not the heir)

YANBU

And it's one of the reasons why there is a Royal Family topic.

milky I totally understand what you mean I was due at the same time as her the last time and lost my DS at 16 weeks. The due date time is tough enough without all the media coverage of an impending royal birth.
I stopped listening to the radio, avoided watching the news and didn't even glance at the newspapers and magazines. Eventually the media moves onto something new.
