Hi everyone.
Tomorrow is my due date before I had a miscarriage. I'm struggling and can't stop crying. I'm dreading tomorrow and just want to keep myself busy. How did you all cope when it came to your due date?
Thanks in advance for your replies

Hi choclatelover. Thinking of you today and hope you are doing OK. Today is a sad day but remember how much you love your wee baby (probably even more now than even if that's possible). Is there something you feel drawn to do? Plant a rose, or go for a walk to remember. Make sure you cry if you need to, laugh if that helps and see someone you love for a big well deserved hug. And be kind to yourself. It's a day none of us want to go through, you aren't alone. I hope you are OK.

I would love to hear any advice from the group as well, I'm ages away from my due date - like April - and already dreading it (it's also the anniversary of my beloved dogs death, it's going to be a shit week). And the Royal baby due at the same time is going to be hard to avoid. X

@choolatelover9 I've read this a few times and I love it, I hope you like it too. It's because you love so much that you remember and still grieve. (hope it's not too weird, just been thinking about you xx)

The world may never notice
If a rosebud doesn't bloom:
Or even pause to wonder if the petals fall too soon.

But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be
Touches the World in some small way
For all eternity.

The little ones we longed for
Were swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.

And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do
Every beating of my heart says
"I Remember You"

Thank you so much for your replies means a lot.

It's been a hard day but I've kept myself busy and not thought of it as much.

That little verse was lovely, 😊 thank you for sending it to me xx
