Getting rid of maternity clothes

It's 3!years today since my baby girls funeral.

I'm now 47 and have come to accept I will not be having any more children.

I got a
Charity bag through door today and I've decided enough is enough.
I have no idea really why I was hanging onto my maternity clothes other than they hardly got any wear really since I found out she had a chromosome disability. She was 15 weeks when I terminated. I had no support and was 45 . Couldn't see me successfully bringing up a disabled dd alone at that age . Partner didn't want a disabled child. I'd have been going it alone. Too many unknowns to risk it

Don't know why I'm posting really.

Just feels like a big deal letting go of my maternity clothes.

Thank you all so much- mn is a fabulous place and the support means such a lot .

The charity bag was for breast cancer and they even popped a little thank you card which I thought was lovely.

Onward and upward and now to find the good things about child free middle age and try to make the best of things.

WineThanks thanks all xxx
