I felt like this when it happened to me {{{hugs}}}

definately - I cried buckets on the day that my baby would have been due. I still have moments when i catch myself thinking ...they would have been x today so they would have been smiling/crawling/walking by now etc. It is fine to grieve. {{{{hugs}}}}

I was really down on my baby's due date and it took a while to work out why. Sorry for your loss.

Hi lovelylou - I am so sorry to hear what you are going through. My baba would have been born in Oct 3 yrs ago. It will get better and one day you will be holding a little bundle of joy as i am now

I felt the same.
hope you get through today ok

Lovelylou - hope you got through the day ok. Take time to grieve and remember the date as you would the birthday of anyone you have loved.

There's a little angel somewhere looking down on you, glad that they haven't been forgotten.

Take care

i felt the same i still remember my baby on the dd 8 yrs on. It does get better though. So sorry 4 yr loss. Dont ever let anyone tell u it morbid or not ok because it is ok, its natural and good to remember and grieve

I felt the same after my each of my miscarriages. People kept saying to me I should be grateful for the child I had which of course I was but children are not replaceable or interchangable even those that do not reach full term - so just let yourself feel the way you do. It did get better for me but that does not mean it goes away. I have had two children since but I will never forget the ones I lost even if I keep it to myself. I'm glad you shared your feelings because I did think that I was being morbid but I think it is natural to feel the way you do.

i agree

lovelylou · 09/10/2007 11:45

Feeling really sorry for myself. Everyone seems to be pregnant. My pregnancy was molar so not even allowed to try yet and i am so broody. Is awful cos i work with babies and it really isnt helping at the minute

I am feeling a bit as I should be coming up to the 20 weeks scan and finding out the sex.

It isn't bloody fair, all people say is "well at least you have 2 already" but as someone said it doesn't make it any easier.

So sorry for you when can you ttc again, maybe this time next year you will have a baby or feel one inside you x

This is the first time I have ever posted a message. Really sorry about your mc Spooky Kitty. I had mc in the summer and would be coming up to 20 week scan too. I feel rotten today. I have a ds but am desperate to give him a brother or sister. I feel so guilty that I can't face talking to my good friends who are either pregnant or have new borns-also feel that I should be grateful for what I already have but can't get rid of the sense of loss and pain and resentment. Is this selfish of me? Can anyone else relate to this?

splishsplosh · 09/10/2007 14:55

I should have had my 12 week scan around now, as would have been 13 wks + 2 today, and am feeling very sad about that. I'm sure it'll be worse next April when it would have been due. Butterflygirl, have you checked out the thread on the conception topic, about mc / ttc / loves cakes. It's full of people who have had similar experience. Lots of us do already have a child/children, but although it helps a little, it can't stop you grieving for the baby you lost

lovelylou · 10/10/2007 11:49

We are aloud to ttc after xmas. Feels so far away
