PGaL anxiety! Vent

in December 2013 Moms
I hate to bring up my previous loss but I am having some serious anxiety over my rapidly approaching EDD for my last pregnancy. I was due on September 4th and as that date gets closer I just feel so anxious. I feel paralyzed when it comes to doing anything for LO. I just fill my day with chasing DD and frivolously cleaning. We haven't done anything to prepare for this baby yet. I hope once I pass that date I will be able to focus my time and energy on this LO. I am so grateful to be having her and feel selfish for not thinking of her needs after birth. Sorry for the rant but I needed to release some of this and DH hates when I talk about it.

    I feel the same way. My old due date was September 9th. I'm sorry you are also dealing with this.

    Thanks so much for saying that and replying! It helps to hear it isn't completely abnormal!

    I'm sorry for your loss and I can't really relate to that part but I do understand having nothing prepared. I am so focused on DS and just getting through a normal day that I haven't even begun to prepare for him to be here. There is still plenty of time though.

    I completely understand too. I found out I was pregnant again on April 9th. And my EDD for my lost pregnancy was April 25th, my 29th birthday. It seemed to get easier after passing that date, and then passing the 9 week mark when I lost my last pregnancy. I was terrified of miscarriage in the beginning and my husband was also hesitant to be so excited at first. But now we are able to concentrate on this LO and how happy we are to be expecting. Good luck to you!

    We didn't have a PGAL check-in this week.

    I think those dates are always hard. Our last lost baby was due April 24th. I was already pregnant and knew, but it was still difficult. Also had a couple of people I knew have babies around then.
    Allow yourself to grieve.... And remember you are pregnant today!
    Hugs.

    That's totally normal and understandable. And don't worry, you have plenty of time to prepare. I'm so sorry for your loss, but hope the knowledge that this baby will help you through it!

    Thank you, all of you, for sharing! It really does help to know this is normal to feel. A good friend of mine is due September 9 and it is sometimes hard to see her as well. Even though I really am thrilled for her. It is really complex to be feeling so many things at once. I am happy to be pregnant, I am excited to meet this baby but I am sad for my last LO, I am sad I never met her and I am nervous that will happen again. I don't know a lot about PGaL on the bump. I didn't even know there was support here until I was already pregnant again. But thank you all for listening and helping me. @mamagrillo I love the expression about remembering that today you are pregnant. It will help keep me in the moment!
