I have been dreading this day now for months and here it is....the day my angel baby was due. Hard to believe I could have been a mom to a take home baby. I am currently 8wk2. I Am in the process of mc a twin. I am bleeding so heavy like last mc that i am very scared that the whole pregnancy will be loss. This is irony at its cruelest.nbsp;nbsp;How have you coped with baby due date? It just doesn't seem real.nbsp;
For the first DD day, I do everything in my power to forget about it and distract myself. Maybe is sounds cold-hearted, but for my own sanity it was necessary. I found myself getting far too depressed about something I could never change. Subsequent years I would think about them, but even then, after I had my 27 wk loss I barely think about the other losses in the same light. I think about my little Jackson that would have been the same age as my niece and best friend's daughter. So seeing them around bring up a lot of emotion sometimes. His DD was 25/01/07, and my most recent loss (yesterday) had and EDD of 08/01/14. So having them so close together will probably be a lot harder than before. But I try to stay optimistic. I'm a fake-it-til-you-make-it kind of person, and I think it helps.
A lot of people plant trees or make craft or something to commemorate the loss. But it's up to you what helps you feel at peace.
Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.
I'm so sorry you're hurting today. And I'm also so sorry for what you are going through now. I'm sending you good thoughts and prayers for your current pregnancy. {{{HUGS}}}}
