Today is what would have been the due date for the first baby I lost. I had two missed miscarriages last year, one in June and one in September. Both identified at a 9 week scan....no symptoms at all.
It was an incredibly traumatic experience and I feel like I've been reliving it this week as the due date approaches. Two of my friends are due to have babies this week, which has been so so hard for me. But I'm dreading getting a baby announcement today. I feel awful about it, but I can't help it.
I feel like it's such a significant day, but I don't think anyone else really realises. I did have a lot of support early on but I think people just expect you to get over it over time, and you just don't.
Anyway, sorry for the rambling post! Just wanted to get my thoughts out there.
