Going to be a hard year...

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

I was at a staff meeting this morning.... my friend was standing across from me. She's pregnant, and due a week after I was due. I was admiring her scarf, and then looked down. Her belly has popped, and she has a baby bump. I was SO close to having that. Another week or so, and I would have been less bloat, more baby. I couldn't take my eyes off it, but it hurt so much to see. I cried all day, every time my students went out for recess. TOTAL breakdown at lunch. I can't even look at my friend. And now I get to watch her progress, almost EXACTLY where I should be each day. Ugh.

    I am going through the same thing you are. I was 9 wks when I miscarried and my friend at work is due 4wks before my original due date. She has really popped this week and wearing clothes now to show it off. I think the hardest part is that when we were both trying we talked about babies all the time...now I can't even bring myself to eat lunch with them because I can't figure out yet how to handle all the compliments she is getting without crying myself. Also I just learned at the beginning of this week my sister is 9 wks pregnant...she is due 2 weeks after my original due date. If you can figure out any tricks to deal I am all ears. Right now I am trying to listen to calming music at work to take my mind off things and bought a book of "Daily Meditations for Women" to help me to think positively. I am sorry for your loss and hope that each day gets easier because I know thats what I am hoping for as well.
