Pregnancy announcements 😔

I had an ectopic pregnancy in august. I’ve been ok but I’ve just realised it’s announcement time for everyone who is due when I would have been due (March). So many people sharing their lovely news but when I see their due in March it’s like someone turning the a knife in my side 💔
I can only imagine how painful March will be ☹️ anyone else?

Hi,

Unfortunately I’m in the same club as you.

I had a late miscarriage at 17 weeks with my baby girl. The same day I was at the hospital planning her funeral was the same day one of my closest friends was getting her 12 week scan.

the pain you feel is hard to translate into words and I’m so sorry you have to go through this too. Sadly I do not have the answers and I guess time will slowly heal what we’re feeling but I wanted you to know you’re not the only one feeling this way.

im so sorry for your loss 💐

Me too, my ectopic was treated by methotrexate in August and I thought I was getting better until the announcements started. I am sorry you are also going through this.

I'm so sorry, it's so hard. My sister in law is pregnant, 4 weeks ahead of where we should have been. The day we had the scan saying it was a potential missed miscarriage was the same day they had a healthy 13 week scan 😢 you just have to try to separate your life from others, much easier said than done I know x

@Lostlawyer26 @moosey89 im so sorry for both of your losses too. ☹️🧡

I feel fine within myself and I’ve come to terms with what’s happened but it’s when other people share their news it’s really hard.

I also had methotrexate but as I ‘miscarried’ in July and then it was a long time watching the bloods rise again and scans to confirm the ectopic so I didn’t actually have the MTX until august. The three month wait doesn’t help either. Can’t believe how people have straightforward pregnancies, don’t realise how fortunate they are 😔

hugs to you all xxx

I'm so sorry for your loss. I was in the same position this time last year, March 10th would have been my due date. Three friends announced their pregnancies one after the other. I struggled to feel happy for them, it really stung and l was in a dark place for a while, the pain felt so raw. Over time it lost its intensity and I came to accept it but I will never forget how low and cheated I felt. Sending you strength Flowers

Everyone has their own journey, and this is yours. I'm sorry it is so hard and shitty.

I can completely sympathise with everything you have said. I lost my daughter at 25 weeks last year, then had a miscarriage in June in July this year.

It is so so so tough, and I have been very angry about it all recently. I just try and think that I have no idea what they may have had to go through to get to where they are now x
