How did you cope with your EDD

Mrs Doddy · Oct 24th, 2009, 03:13 AM

Mine is at the end of Jan and seems to be fast approaching. I don't know how to deal with it, its a Sunday so glad I won't be at work but know that I will be upset for a while after, I have gone from not really thinking about it all for weeks to crying my eyes out every day again.

Would you take a few days off work or go in. I know that if I do go in although I will be busy I will be thinking about everything and not be myself

Did you do anything to mark the day or did you not want to think about it. I don't know what I am supposed to do.

Don't know how I will cope. It was so early for me but my friend is now due just 2 weeks after so I keep comparing that to what I would have had...makes it hard to take my mind off it. Mine will be on a Thursday...suppose I dont know how I will actually feel until the day. Hugs to you x

Mine is not till April so a little while away yet but really not looking forward to it. Will probably mark it in some positive way, like have a day out with my husband.

Have a friend who is 3 weeks ahead of where I was and I have to face seeing her every day. Difficult to see her where I should have been too. Think it will be very hard when April comes, then again when she has her baby in May.

My husband just doesn't get...

I had set up the baby development thing on askbaby.com. Logged on there yesterday and felt a huge pain as I saw where my baby should have been

Word of advice - don't do it!

I'm not sure what I will do. I believe I will have a quiet day at the park or maybe go out of town for the day. I think I will feel very emotional but I suppose it depends on what happens between now and then.

I know what you mean about the baby development. I would now be 17 weeks and I opened one of the e-mails the other day that showed what my babies would look like and it was so very hard. I don't recommend doing it either!

^^ I have tried to stop them/change them back to ttc, but they are still coming through

Hey hun. Despite my best efforts, my original EDD (3 Feb 10) still comes into my mind. Partly because it's the day before my birthday

When I got my latest

I thought it would be okay because I'd be pregnant with this one, but as you know, that wasn't to be either. I think for me, the only thing that could make it more bearable would be to be pregnant again.
