Due date today (m/c mentioned)

Jen71 · #1 October 18th, 2011, 11:07 AM

Today was supposed to be my due date. My husband forgot. I don't really expect anyone else to remember. It's my burden, my memory. I've blown the morning looking for some elusive, but heartfelt quote to put as my status on fb, just something to mark the day, if only for myself and my angel. Something that says today was supposed to be important, and that I'm grieving. I SO WISH I could just write that I miss my baby and I grieve the loss of what my world was supposed to be like today!!! I know I could just do it. I don't want to, realistically, let "everyone" know.

It stings all the much more that I'm not pregnant yet, my hope is fading, and at times I feel like my desire to get pg is being squashed by the heartache of unsuccessfully trying. *sigh*. I know this too will pass. In time I'll understand and be able to see what lessons life had for me in this.

I knew you all would "get it".

I doubt DH will remember ours. It just stinks, this should not be our burden alone. It's too much to ask of one person. Hang in there. I hope you get your sticky BFP soon

Agreed.

Thank you

This is what I finally came up with:
"an entire lifetime of love can be squeezed into a few brief
miraculous moments when necessary�."

Even worse, my 19 year old niece announced she's pregnant. She's not married, just finished high school, doesn't have her drivers license yet. AND AF came yesterday (I expected it, as we didn't try this month).

I am sure that your due date would be a hard day to get through. I have a few months for that, but even now, I know that it's going to be difficult emotionally. I am so sorry that you haven't gotten your BFP yet. I really hope you get there soon! I hope we all do. Best of luck, and hugs!!

Hugs...

One of the crappiest parts of pregnancy loss is the fact that most people don't realize what a loss it really is... I say do whatever and say whatever you need to to mark the day.

Thoughts and prayers for you and your angel...

I am so sorry!

I know how emotional this day must be for you. My BF didn't remember my due date either. It is definitely something all of us totally understand. Your quote is beautiful!! I love it and it truly says it all. I know things are tough right now, but it will get better and you will get your rainbow baby!
