Sorry if this doesn't belong here but looking for some ideas

I know there are a lot of sensitive issues going on here on this board and I don't mean to barge in but I figured some of you might be able to help me out if you have been in a similar situation.

I m/c in November and my EDD is coming up. DH wanted to wait before we TTC again and I desperately wanted to right away. It was my first pregnancy and I was thrilled. But that feeling was taken from me and now he decided he's not ready. I had hoped that I would be pregnant again before the EDD but obviously I won't be.

For those of you who m/c and were not pregnant again before the EDD, did you do anything that day? How did you handle that time? I was thinking of releasing pink balloons or something (I found out it was a girl). I just don't know how I will even get through the next few weeks. Chat Icon

I kept myself very busy.

It's my coping mechanism. I didn't want to commemorate it at all, I just wanted the day to pass.

Please don't release balloons. They can choke and kill wildlife.

I was concentrating on getting pregnant again when my EDD came and went...and dealing with newly-discovered IF issues. So, I didn't pay much attention to that date. You have to let it go and look forward. If DH isn't ready, perhaps plan something to celebrate the "twoness" of you....

I know what you are going through. My EDD is approaching also. Chat Icon Basically I am going to get through the day as best as I can, I will probably even shed a few tears.

Although me and my DH arent ones to dwell on the past, this day will be one that we will never forget.

Thank you everyone for your understanding and responses. I am working that day so that will be good but I definately need to do something to keep busy I guess. I knew you wonderful ladies would understand this pain.

My best friend is planting a small orchard on her property for the same reason. (She does have a lot more property because she's upstate.) There might be something on a smaller scale you can do here.
