How do you cope when a lost baby's due date approaches?

I am very, very lucky to be 15 weeks pregnant, but the baby I lost earlier this year was due on November 9th. I was due to have a c section, so he/she would have been born last week of October.

I can't get out of my head the fact that I 'should' be 36 weeks pregnant now. I feel so sad at times and it just makes my anxiety about this pregnancy so much worse.

My sons due date is approaching too, it's next Tuesday, and I lost him in May for me it's been a roller coaster I went back to work in August but now I'm feeling more sadness as the due date approached. I've had a small grave stone made for him so I plan to pick it up and put it on his lair with fresh flowers that day. Nice for other people to acknowledge it but it's hard as the rally of support I got when it all happened has faded away and for me that's the most difficult bit when you feel like everyone has forgotten xxxx

Yesterday was my due date for my first pregnancy. Hard to think that 9 months ago my soon to be ex husband and I were so happy and now we can't stand each other. I spent the day trying to keep my mind off of it until a little after 1 pm I was sitting in bed with my boyfriend and just started crying. He didn't really know what to do but just sat there and held me. I'm trying to think of some way to do a memorial for her(my ex and I agreed we both thought the baby was going to be a girl). Honestly its the worst pain I've ever gone through but hopefully one day it won't hurt as bad.
