Due date came & went...

[MrsHelsBels74]

I had a mc last year & luckily currently am 22 weeks pregnant. My due date was last Tuesday & I didn't think about it really & was then really proud of myself for not falling apart. But yesterday as I was driving to work & taking my son to nursery I was suddenly in floods of tears. I had an anti natal appointment first thing & managed to pull myself together but the same thing happened on the way home. I still feel a little flat & it's even worse as my son has gone to his grandparents for the weekend (which I was looking forward to but now I want him here!).

Is this a normal reaction to a due date that never was?

I still think about my 3 lost mc babies on their due date birthdays and they all have names - I keep this all to myself in case people think i'm a bit weird.(they were all between 7 and 10 weeks so obviously i didnt know the sex but in my head it was 2 boys and 1 girl)) I was in the same situation as you are although its a long time ago for my 1st lost one but if I hadn't lost him - I wouldnt have conceived his liveborn sister. I was emotional on due date too made worse by the fact i was on bed rest due to threatened miscarriage so i say its ok to grieve for your loss but also remember to celebrate for the new life yet to come! Good luck!

I lost 2. First between 8 and 9 weeks, junior who I believe was a little girl, the second, littley who I believe was a boy at 8weeks 6days, I then had my son bump.

I still think about them, dream of what they would be like, miss them.

Tuesday is 6 years to the day since I found out I was expecting junior, on 28th it will be 6 years since I found she had passed on. Littley it will be 4 years in august. I think of them and love them everyday.

i miss my baby too. i feel so sad, and like there is someone missing from the world.
