Due date;(

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
well today was my official due date from my Oct Mmc. I've almost made it thru the day. Not without thinking about all that should be and should have been. I still question what I did wrong or could have done different to save my baby. I just wanted to write that while we don't feel like we will ever get thru the day it continues on even if we don't feel like it.  
On a side note how much folic acid were you taking during pregnancy? I was 36 and my ob had me taking 2000mcg due to age and I still wonder if it was too much.

    So sorry for your loss. I hope you're doing ok. I have no clue about folic acid. I just take regular PNVs

    Hi, I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish I could give you a hug. I'm sitting here wondering if I did something wrong, like if the seat warmers I used did it, or the heating pad on my back, or did my blood sugars cause it? (I'm type 1). 

    Regarding folic acid, I have heard people take up to 5000 mcg if they have a history of neural tube defects. I was taking 1200. Rest easy that your 2000 was probably just fine <3

    I know we dont believe it or feel better from it but usually its nothing we did. Most the time its a chromosomal issue. I just found out i had a partial molar pregnancy. I dont know if its better knowing or not. I still think stress caused my 2nd mc. We just all have to try to think positive, yeah i know,  its easier said than done. Im sorry, i know today wasnt easy. Thoughts and prayers your way.

    Thank you all, this whole journey is just unlike I've ever been thru. I lost my only sister 11 years ago to cancer at the age of 30 and thought it couldn't get worse than that. But it can:( I'm very sorry for all your losses and we can get thru tomorrow if we stick together. Bless you all!
