Deanna, I'm so sorry! Chat Icon I did just pass one on June 6, I don't know what tell you, it was hard for me, partially b/c of the date and partially b/c a very good friend had a baby about the same time I was due, so there was a lot going on at the time, I was also dealing with the loss of my 3rd pregnancy as well. I just find that keeping myself busy helped me pass the time and deal with it. As I approach November 4, I am having a harder time than the last one. I will be in Florida for that date with my BFF, so it will be a huge distraction.

Chat Icon Chat Icon for you! it will be better, I promise.

I passed mine last year, November, and it was very difficult for me. Especially because the week I was due, my "friend" was texting me updates about HER pregnancy. We are no longer friends.

I do think it helped in the closure department, although it's still difficult.

It's weird to think that next month, i'd have a one year old.Chat Icon

Mine was Saturday. To be honest, I didn't think about it too much on the day - but I don't really feel any differently about it now than I did before it. Chat Icon Good friends of ours just had a baby this weekend and both our brothers and their wives are expecting babies within a couple of weeks. There just seem to be babies all around.

But, I'm currently in the 2ww, which I think is helping me to focus on something else.

That is so weird because I just passed mine on Sunday and I am in my 2ww as well. I tried to not think about it and just kept myself busy the whole day. I have also lost another pregnancy in July.

Deanna, don't feel pressure yourself to be "over it". How you feel about losing this baby will resolve itself in time, in your time. Chat Icon

When I passed mine in Sept. 07, what made it harder was that 2 of my cousins were pg around same time as me and both went on to beautiful babies. So that just was the extra zinger I guess.

Not yet. October 23rd. But, I've been thinking about it a lot lately because I had my son 4 weeks early.

I am starting a new IVF cycle so I'm hoping that it will help me get through this month. I have a plan and I just pray it works this time. I don't know how much more of this I can go through.Chat Icon

I passed it in July and thought I would feel better, but I seem to have a really hard time with the anniversaries of his birth....

Mine would have been Sunday. I keep trying to tell myself not to think about it. I know I have no right to mourn because I am so fortunate to be pregnant again. Unfortunately, it still hurts. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

YEah I passed mine. It was really tough. But I guess I felt some closure. But, honestly you never forget. Even now that I am pg again.. I was so sad on the anniversary of the day I got my BFP and they day I m/c'ed... I was a little insane that day.

It gets easeir but, it forever changed me and I find that I can't relax this pregnancy at all.

mine was december 14th..of last year but on that day i released 2 balloons..one pink and one blue ( i didnt know the sex). I took the day off work, it was a tough day. I promise tho..it gets easier...i still think about my little ones in heaven but i just take it as God's plan. It hurts but you learn ways to cope..it took me a long time. I will tell you tho..if you're sad..be sad..don't deny your feelingsChat Icon Chat Icon

With this last pg I lost in April, I would have been due 10/18. But I know I would have delivered at 37 weeks and should have had 2 under 2 at home right now. I thought about it so much the 2 weeks before I would have delivered but really, was so busy the day I probably would have had my c/s that I didn't get to think about it.

I think in time the thought of I should have a baby this old will always be with you. I think that I should have 3 now at home. Our son CJ should be here and 3 years old, Victoria 15 months and a newborn. My EDD was also my BFF's wedding anniversary, so I'll always remember for that reason.
