Ok, so I'm putting a brave face on but I'm struggling today. I've begun my monthly, it's my 39th birthday on Friday this week and my due date is next week - feels like a whole lot to get through.
Had a convo with the husband last week as realised what was coming up could be heavy going and that 6 months had passed since my missed mc and op.
On the up side, our son would still like a sibling and has asked if we can buy one (lots of lol's to this we had); if only it was that easy :-/
Sooo want a 2nd child but trying best to think of other things.
Not sure if advice is what I need, just wanted to share. So tired of struggling with me, myself and I.
The good days have been for longer periods of time though, so another positive there.
Hugs to all of use struggling and trying to work through day to day :-)

Sorry you are struggling, if it helps I was in a horrible mood till I read what you wrote about trying to think of better things, well think of this - your son has put a smile on one crabby old crows face with his 'can we buy one' theory so you have an awesome wee boy there who wants the same as you do. if only it was that simple eh. Flowers and Winefor your birthday though.

Hand holding.
My 39th is next week. 2 mc this year and I still am reeling.
I was hoping to avoid everyone for my birthday but I'm off to a wedding then a family party that weekend now Confused I also know that my aunt will be announcing her DD's pregnancy at the party.
Here's Wine to us getting through and thanks for sharing. I had got stuck in a noone would get this place.
I don't know what to suggest. One day at a time is all I've got (that and cake)

Thank you for your comments, they made me smile.
Randomly I've decided this month to start swimming and doing other bits of exercise as a way of filling my time, and making time for myself.
The last 6 months since the MC have been a blur (what with looking at things through the tears most of the time!!).
I know I won't always be ok, and the sadness is still there. My husband feels my pain and we are hoping to try again, though I am terrified if I'm honest, and I did say that to him.
Thanks to us all in the limbo that we find ourselves in
