I was due today

bohemianbeauty7

I should be having a beautiful, healthy, LIVE baby today. But I'm not. And I'm so destroyed.

What's worse is that my mom is totally insensitive and emailed me a picture of a family friend's new baby that was born a few days ago TODAY. As if I needed to see that. Why are people so clueless? My mom has been pushing me to "get over it" and to accept other people's babies to the point where I feel like she's pushing me to love them.  Sending me all kinds of photos and information about newborns...and I hate to be a terrible person, but I couldn't care less about other people's babies right now. It hurts WAY TOO MUCH.

Just had to get that out.

{{hugs}}  I'm sorry your mom is making this so much harder on you.  You're in my thoughts and prayers today for strength and peace.  Take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry.  I hate that your mother is not being supportive when you most need her to be.  Please feel free to vent here.  That is what we are here for.

I'm so sorry to hear your news. I understand how you are feeling. We just lost our little girl last week at 22 weeks are are completely devastated. It has helped me to read this board and find others where I can connect with people who understand what we have gone through. Hopefully you can find others to connect with who understand too.

I am sorry for your due date and your mom. You don't "get over it" and people should never say things like that.

I'm sorry you have to deal with that on top of this tough milestone.  Your mom probably never suffered a loss of her own or she was know how devastating it is & that you never "get over" the loss of a child.  I'm terrified of getting closer to our due date & know it will be an extremely hard day to get through.

I'm so sorry for your loss, and that you had such a horrible reminder on your due date.  Some people just don't know how to deal with other's grief and can't understand what it feels like to be one of us.  It does make it worse that it's your mom, and I'm sorry that you are dealing with that pressure on top of dealing with your heartache.

I'm glad you got it out here though, we're here to listen and support.  I know the ladies here have helped me a lot in the past week, just by sharing and supporting and being kind.

Thanks guys for all of your support. I'm so glad that there are women out there who understand (although on the other hand I wish ya'll didn't bc it means you have been through it)  It's been a very hard couple of weeks.  A friend also announced her pregnancy the day after my due date...I'm happy for her, but I am having a hard time dealing.
