how did you cope with your due date??

hedgewitch · Aug 5th, 2009, 06:19 AM

well i should have been in the hospital now having my pre med for my c-section tomorrow, i am at a loss as to what to do. i went bed last night feeling really strong and then i've got up this morning a total wreck again, all i can think is that i should be at the hospital getting ready to welcome my little piglet into the world and instead i,m sitting here having dreams of what will never be. if this is what it feels like today what is it going to be like tomorrow when she should have been born?
how did you all cope with your due date and did you do anything special? or did you just hide in the bottom of the wardrobe? i prefer the latter at the moment. my kids are doing their own stuff and DH is working away so its just me and my mind, not a good combination at the minute!!
i am going the beach this weekend and i'm going to build my little angel a sandcastle and decorate it for her and take a pic for her memory book.
how do i get through this?

No advice but tons of hugs...

I am sorry that mine is a bit different.

I passed my Due Date while I was pregnant again but this didnt change things as I kept on thinking about my angel. I felt as if I was sick. There was completely nothing that could made me feel happy. I spent the day at home with DH.

Try going out or visit a friend that will make the day shorter although it cant change the way you feel. All the best and HUGS!!!!

Im sorry your having a hard day today. Milestone dates are the hardest and remind us of our losses each time they come round, year after year. Maybe you could write Lilly a letter about how your feeling and put it in her keep sake box. I find it helps alot to write my feelings down and I look back in weeks / months to see how well i have coped and move forward.
Sorry im not much help but massive

for you and kisses to heaven for Lilly xxx

I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. It was a bit different for me, Alex died 1 day before his EDD and had his post mortem on his EDD

we was still numb and crying all the time and was in touch with the police regarding his PM so it kind of passed as a blurr for me. What you said sounds like a lovely idea, to make her a sandcastle

you could always write her name in the sand with the date and take a picture, and maybe release a balloon. I release balloons for Alex but only on special occasions

will be thinking of you tomorrow xxx

Yesterday was my due date...I wish I had words of advice. All I can offer is support.

I spent the whole day crying. At the end of it I felt better. I also wrote "Holly" a letter. I think that helped too.

I truly wish you peace even though I know that it will be hard for the next few days.
