My baby would have been due on the 2nd of December. Unfortunately I suffered from a molar pregnancy which was severely traumatic. However, I’m looking for advice on how to celebrate my baby’s day on the 2nd of December. I’m currently 6 weeks pregnant and I feel it’s a sign from my angel that life will get better. Sorry for babbling on, I just want it to be a day of remembering my baby rather than grieving🥹👼🏻

Sorry for your loss. I think it's really lovely to want to celebrate your baby and what could have been.
I think it's quite a personal decision, but some ideas for you:
Planting something in your garden, that you can tend to throughout the year.

Writing a letter to your baby, maybe thanking them for your new pregnancy. It might be nice to have this to look back on in the future.

Treating it as a "self care" day, acknowledging what you are grateful for and an emphasis on your resilience and being well, despite terrible times. PJ's, films, long bath etc. This could also be something you continue in the future, and maybe even share with future DC one day.

Making a donation to your hospital/charity.

Taking a walk at your favourite place and taking a little extra time to pause and take it in.

I tried to think outside the box a little.
Hope it helps, and wishing you all the best for your pregnancy 💐

@Bellzy Thank you so much for the ideas! Me and my partner have decided to go donate some clothes to put local hospital as they are always calling out for baby clothes and hats and things. But I think we’re also going to take a nice drive and take in some nice scenery x
