Today would have been my due date

Ah spider I'm so sorry for your loss.

Mine was Saturday just gone (from my first IVF treatment) so I know some of what you're feeling.

I've been so sad for the past 6 months. On Saturday, DH, DD and I went to a significant place and released white balloons. I'm not usually so airy-fairy but I felt I needed to mark the day somehow and it really helped me. I said some words to my lost baby whilst doing it and it has given me some solace.

I'm also 7.5 weeks pregnant now and I think that helped me get through the day.

I hope you find some way of making today easier for you and your partner.

Significant dates are hard, particularly the ones nobody else recognises, the "would have been" dates rather than anniversaries.

for you. I promise it gets a bit easier each year.

Thanks guys. Just had some unrelated awful news, so bloody good cry definitely in order :( I have to go and cheer DS on at his first sports day after lunch though. Will have to pretend to have hayfever.

So sorry x

[spiderlight]

Thank you all.

DH forgot :(

[HorryIsUpduffed]

Did you remind him? DH never knows my EDD until I'm at least twenty weeks before which time he is oblivious.

It doesn't mean he doesn't care, it's just genuinely not something that has stuck in his brain, is my guess.
