Late Term and Child Loss

Due date

Today was Carter's due date. I never expected to make it this far, so I didn't think the day would be *that* hard. But, I woke up crying at 5:00 this morning and haven't been able to stop since.

 

This afternoon I meet with a hematologist. Maybe he will have some answers for me.

Re: Due date

  • Due date is such a hard day. Big hugs. And good luck at hematologist.

  • Caleb's due date was just Monday 11/7/11.  I thought I would be ok, but as I sat at work EVERYTHING set me off.  The fact that I was there, and not in the hospital ( I had this innate feeling I was supposed to be at the Hosp all day ) -- My cousin gave birth to her second at the Hosp I was supposed to deliver at the day before ( and she was 6 days late ) I kept thinking how cool Caleb would have shared a close birthday or we would have been roommates.  *sigh*

    I cried alot, and then the day passed.  I know that he is with me everyday. But If you need to take that day for yourself I advise you do.  The grief came on so strong so quick for me.  I'm glad to have had better days this week. Hang in there !
