Hello.
I found Mumsnet while browsing for ways to cope with the anniversary of a miscarriage, and am so glad I did! It has been such a help to me to read all of your thoughts and experiences.
I found out for certain that I was pg a year ago today. Hadn't been planning on having a baby yet, but I adjusted quickly and was loving the idea of being a mum, though a bit scared, as I was not married, and my family is very traditional about such things, as was my boyfriend's. Before I got to tell him, though, he told me we needed to end our relationship because he thought he might be gay. He knew there was a possibility that I was pg, but he didn't want to lie to me, which I respect. I couldn't tell him then and have him stay with me only for the baby. Just as soon as he left the cramps started and I began passing tissue. I really thought I was going to die.
It's been a year, and I'm doing a bit better, although it's been really difficult and lonely because I cannot tell my family or many of my friends. I have more good days than bad now; time really does help.
It's been harder the past two weeks... the anniversary of my mc / breakup will be 3. May, and I'm going through a bit of depression and anger... feels like starting the grieving process all over again.
Does anyone know of any resources for coping without the support of a DH or family? How have you handled due dates and anniversaries? Just looking for ways o stay sane...
