This will sound horrible but here goes...

I have two friends who are pregnant due within a month of me and another who has just announced she is pregnant due 5 months after me. (I am due in Nov).

I say friends but truth is two of these people I don't like much.

The two due within a month of me - one is a very good friend of mine and I am thrilled I will get to see a lot of her. The other due then is a mutual friend of both of us but truth is we are not really friends. We used to be but lots of things happened including her coming onto my husband (though he turned her down) and her being rude to me lots and generally a pain in the butt. You might ask why are still friends if she did any of this but we are part of a wider circle and it was easier to stay friendly without being good friends than it was not to see her at all.

The one due 5 months after me is someone I know through work and we really have little to say but when she told me she was pregnant she said 'isn't it great we can hang out together now with the babies?' - thing is, I don't want to. I think with her by the time her baby is born I will have made friends with kids locally and that is less likely. So I guess the main thing I am worried about is how much will I have to hang out with the friend due near me who I don't like? We live about half an hour from each other or a short drive (though neither of us have cars).

Just read this through - I sound like a complete bitch!

No you don't. You sound very nice to even be polite to that bitch. Coming on to your husband, seriously, what a cow.

I'd just constantly make polite excuses. She'll soon take the not so subtle hint. Comments like "I don't think my husband would be comfortable with you coming around to the house, you know with the history".. remind her you haven't forgotten. Maybe I sound like a bitch :P
