first day back at work and...

Oct08bridge

I'm sad. Not even because I'm not with DD but because the last time I was here I was pregnant and SO happy. I literally was here one day and the next day my water broke at 33 weeks and I haven't been back since. It feels weird because I LOOOOVE DD (goes without saying) but I never got to get to the point where I was unhappy. I had a great pregnancy until exactly 33 weeks. Anyone else feel similar?

I feel the same way. I still cry when I see pregnant women with big bellies because i never got that.  I feel like i was robbed of my pregnancy.

I feel the EXACT same way.  I really feel like I missed out on a great part of my pregnancy.  And that desire in the last couple weeks to just meet your baby.  Don't get me wrong, I love having DD here with me, but I feel like I missed out on something too...  Hoping it gets easier with time.

I agree...It's very emotional for me, and I find myself longing for that normal experience (baby shower, big belly photos, etc)  I ony have ONE photo of myself pregnant!  Being at work is hard, too, because people want to talk about your situation, but I just don't feel like it all of the time.

I feel the same way.  I still have resentment/anger issues over losing the last part of my pregnancy. 

Going back to work was even harder for me.  I was prepping for a huge trial to start on Friday, went home on Wednesday at just almost 32 weeks pregnant, and ended up in the hospital that night.  Needless to say, my boss had to fill in on the trial, the court knew what happened, all the attorneys I frequently see knew what happened.  Going back to work the first day was hard in dealing with the office, but going back into court the first time was worse because everyone was asking me about it. 

I am told it will get better with time, (i am hoping it is the case, I still have tough days)

I feel the same way. I am dreading going back to work because when I left I was 27 weeks pregnant and the my water broke and baby arrived at 29 weeks. I think my biggest concern is what questions are my coworkers going to ask me.
