TTC After a Loss

My due date is coming up & I don't know what to do

November 27th I went into labor and gave birth to my 28 week old son, Jamison Maxwell. April 1st would have been my due date and I don't know how to handle it/what to do. Normally I would solve it by drinking my pain away for at least the moment. But this past week i've been experiencing nausea and fatigue. I'm worried that it might be possible that I am pregnant due to not getting my 2nd depo provera shot at the end of February but had my period the first weekend of March. I took a test and it was negative but the symptoms are all there.
So I neither know the chances of being pregnant or how others have handled this day....help?

Re: My due date is coming up & I don't know what to do
First, definitely see your Dr about the possibility of being pg again.
Second, I'm really sorry you are going through this. I think everyone handles the day differently, but my suggestion is to do something nice for yourself and be around those who always make you happy.

♥♡♥ PAL/PGAL welcome♥♡♥I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a child at that stage of a pregnancy is heartbreaking.
If you took a test and it was negative, chances are you're not pregnant. Wait a few days and test again, or wait for AF to show up. Our hormones can play tricks on our bodies and make us believe we're pregnant when we're really not. For example, I have been "nauseous" all week, and after peeing on lots of tests, I know that I'm not pregnant. The symptoms of PMS and pregnancy are very, very similiar.
As for the EDD, may I ask if you had your son buried? If so, I think visiting his grave would help give you some peace that day.
We chose to have our son's remains cremated, so on our EDD I wrote a letter to him, cried my eyes out, looked at his pictures, and spent the day with my husband. I felt significantly better once we passed that milestone.
HUGS.

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
not sure if you already looked at the blob but BFP stands for big fat positive on an at-home pregnancy test, an acronym since we talk about them a lot.
PGAL is another board for pregnant after a loss, since we aren;t pregnant we are not your best resource for pregnancy advice.
the intro can be anything, just hi, and your baby story. hugs.

The other ladies covered it with reading the blog and checking with the doctor. I agree with them. Just a heads up that generally on this board it's smart to lurk for awhile before jumping in. Everyone is really helpful and caring but we're also protective of each other and someone coming in and saying they may be pregnant can get some defensive.
As far as your due date, find what it is that makes you feel good. Whether that is letters and crying, ice cream on the couch, planting a tree, or just staying in bed, it's a very personal thing and you should do whatever is best for you.
