I don't post much here, but right now I need a place to cry, and I know you guys will understand.
Jan DDC just had their first baby. That was my DDC. I've been lurking there daily since my loss, and I knew today would be coming. I figured by now I'd bre pregnant again, and over my early loss. I was wrong about both.
Of course, I'm so happy for that mama and sweet baby, but it could have been me!
Almost 9 months have past, and I thought I was fine, but now I feel like I lost my baby again. The wounds feel so raw and fresh today. There's a lump in my throat that won't go away.
Ugh, my tears just won't stop.

I am so sorry. The same thing happen to me after my first loss. I would have been due March 2007. I ended up getting pregnant with my daughter that month. So after a long stressfull month of watching these babies being born I found out I was expecting again... I hope this can happen for you.

im so sorry for the pain you are feeling right now  i was like the first or second person in my DDC and know i could have been one of the first to have my baby and im so afraid of how badly its going to hurt when it gets to that time... i cant even fully imagine how much it really hurts. get some ice cream and a big spoon!oh and chocolate sauce, it really does help

^^I second the ice cream. Because it is likely going to hurt each and every time a baby is born in that DDC. I still lurk in Feb 2011...and feel like it is going to be really painful when the LO's start rolling in. I would be there...instead of here with still no baby growing in there.
Hang in there. We all know how hard this is and how much it sucks. Cry, scream, punch a pillow, eat junk...whatever will help you through it. Because that is all you can do.

((HUGS)). I was thinking about that too, I was in the January DDC with you when I lost my baby at 8 weeks. I would be 35 1/2 weeks along now. It is just so hard.
Thinking of you.

Anna  that is such torture.... I never lurked on those boards unless I was checking up on a fellow TTCAL lady who had graduated. It's not a good place for us to go. I do know how you're feeling tho, all the ladies from all my DDC's have had their babies and some are pregnant again  (nice stab to the heart) It just sucks sweetie and wish it didn't hurt that bad for you... avoid that place like the plague! It's horrible to be reminded of the little one you've lost over and over and over again like that and to see ever stage, aspect of what you have lost... Anna  I really am sorry.
Now I forbid you from ever going back there, EVER again! I'll personally will come hunt you down and kick your buttocks left right up and down

Im sorry hun, I did the same thing with my Sept ddc. It was hard but for me, it was something I had to do. I dont lurk the playroom at all. It ended with the last little one being born, and as sad as it still makes me, I think that I needed that.
Do whatever you need to do, to get through this. Hugs, we will be here for you.

Just stopping in as a PAL grad. I am sooo sorry you are feeling so bad. It was very hard for me to visit my DDC after my loss. I was even jealous of their WORST pg symptoms. The reality of "it could have/should have been me" is really hard. A teacher at my sons' school had a due date that was only a week after mine. When she left for maternity leave, it kind of opened the wound again. Our little angel has been gone for two years. I still miss the little baby that I am not seeing grow up. And, there are times that I still cry. But, you are in the right place with these ladies. I don't know what I would have without TTCAL ( and then PAL). They are not only a shoulder to cry on. They'll cry with you. I won't say to stay away from your former DDC. If you want to continue to lurk or visit (or even post), that's up to you. You'll know if it's the right place to be. And, your baby will come. You've got angels in heaven looking over you. I'm so sorry for you loss. And, I hope your healthy PG comes FAST. Sorry for the long post from a past TTCAL member, but, I remember it to well and I want you to know that you're in my thoughts and prayers. I hope to see you in PAL soon! BIG hugs...

I am like Celena, I could not go back to either of my DDC's. It is too painful and every-time I did lurk it just opened the wound up again. ((Hugs))
