Due date.

Today is (was, would have been) my due date, and I'm pretty sad. I didn't think it would hit me this hard, but here it is, and it has.

My best friend has had 2 miscarriages over the past 2 years and she was very very weepy on both due dates. Again, I am sorry for your loss.

Sending you good thoughts, Alice.

My due date would have been November 22. I'm sorry for your loss.

August 25,2003 was my due date and I still remember it each year. I believe that the baby I miscarried is my girls guardian angel.It's ok to be sad and to remember the date.

Mine is coming up in January. I'm stockpiling chocolate in anticipation.

I feel bad for not knowing that you miscarried. Not like I'm family or anything... I wish you much support during this time and best of luck in achieving whatever your dreams for your family may be.

I lost track of my lost due date, but the anniversary of my miscarriage was so much harder than I had imagined. It fell right at the one-month birthday of my beautiful baby boy, and I felt guilty that I was mourning the loss of one baby while holding another, knowing they couldn't have both been born... For a long time I felt the only way to deal was to disown that lost baby, to concentrate on the ones in my arms, but I am starting to feel that little spirit settle around us, into our family. Hold on, hang in there, and much, much love to you.

Aw, man. :( I had two miscarriages last year, so I know what a party it isn't. Both were weird and early and I never had official due dates, but the frist would have been December and the second in February.

I am now 14 weeks, and things are fine, but I walk around chanting, "full-term preganancy, healthy baby" all the time. We're cautiously optimisic. I hope you have the chance to experience such tempered joy very, very soon. xoxo
