Pregnant after a Loss

EDD was supposed to be today...

I am surprised I am as sad today as I am because I thought that since I am pregnant again and it seems to be going well- that it wouldn't be as hard. I am trying to focus on my new pregnancy that seems to be going great but these tears keep sneaking up on me. Can I blame hormones? :)  How was your EDD for you?

Re: EDD was supposed to be today...

  • ((hugs to you))...My EDD is coming up on the 18th. I too wonder how I will react. I know I'll be sad...but a part of me has a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that I should almost have a newborn. :(

  • Ha I have those feelings too! Like it actually went by quicker then I felt like it would.
  • (((Hugs))) Mine for my second loss was yesterday.  It was way harder than my first loss EDD and I have no idea why.  Maybe it was because yesterday was also DH birthday.  You can totally blame hormones!  I pray that next year, when we all have our take home babies, our EDD anniversaries will be easier.

  • Mine was on the 24th and it was difficult, but I made it through.  Like a lot of the ladies on here told me, you should allow yourself to grieve and feel the feelings you're feeling.  Big hugs!
  • ((Big Hugs!!)) My EDD is coming up on Wednesday (the 4th). To be honest, I don't know how I'll feel. I thought the same as you tho- that since I'm pg again, I may not be as sad? I guess we'll see... 

    T&Ps to you today, though!!!

  • My EDD was last Thursday and it was a tough day for me too.  It's sad to think that we could have our babies in our arms right now.  But I guess what made me feel better is that there has to be some reason why the baby I'm carrying right now is the one that's supposed to be in my life.  Hang in there and just think about your baby that will be here soon:)
  • My EDD was December 10th until my doctor changed my due date to December 29th because she measured behind but instead of recognizing there was something wrong he just told me I didn't know when I conceived and changed it. I had several moments of saddness throughout the month but no one day was worse for me. I think July 30th the day I gave birth will always be "the date" for me. I did see several babies when we took the other kids to see Santa this year that were newborns. That would have been me :( Now that we're expecting again I try to tell myself that she was meant to be my angel and this baby is meant to be my angel on earth :) Here's to healthy babies in 2012!!

  • Our EDD was in June and since our pregnancy was pretty much a secret the first time nobody really knows it...I usually mourn to myself each year and I too thought this year would be different with LO on the way, but I realized quickly it never gets easier.  Neither does the anniversary of our lost and the confirmation of our lost.. as we share that day with DH & I's anniversary :(

    I will say a little pray for your angel LO tonight in honor of his/her EDD.  I wish you a H&H 9-months.

  • My EDD was 12/21, a few days after DH turned 30. It was tough, but not as bad as I imagined. I remembered my lost LO but also focused on my baby girl growing inside. It's definitely bittersweet and I think if I wasn't pregnant again it would be extremely difficult. Hugs to you today!
