Approaching due date for a pregnancy that ended in miscarriage

[Anonymous]

I had a miscarriage in October and my due date was April 16th 2014. My birthday is April 19th so I was so excited when I found out I was going to have a baby so close to my birthday but now I see it getting closer to the due date and all I can think about is how Im not going to be having my baby and just seeing other people around me having their baby or getting pregnant just gets me so depressed because Im not having my baby. It is crazy how much you can love someone without ever meeting them. It truly gets way harder the closer it gets to my due date.

OP, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Tomorrow is my due date for a child I lost in September. Interestingly enough I have been searching for ways to connect with people in DC who are dealing with miscarriage (I actually started a meetup group if anyone is interested), yet I came across this thread a different way. Hope everyone is finding some peace in their own way, and that I'll find mine as well. ~Beth [e-mail]

I'm having an anatomy scan right next to my due date of a pervious loss. I am hoping the scan can help me get more excited about this pregnancy and feel more at peace about the loss. But I'm terrified as the scan date approaches that it will be another mmc and it will be the week from hell and I will have another loss at the due date. Trying to stay positive though. Sorry for your loss, and sending you strength.

I felt just miserable on my "due date" OP, and it almost broke me, but I had to get through it.

So I tried to tell myself the baby probably was genetically not healthy and that is most likely the reason I miscarried him or her. That is was probably best that he wasn't born because he wouldn't have formed into a complete and healthy human being.

OP I'm so sorry for your loss. I had a mc last year and like you assumed id be pregnant again by my due date. No such luck. It was so hard. But I actually conceived almost exactly on my due date and in the end I was glad to get to mourn my lost baby before getting pregnant again. Good luck to you and hugs.

So sorry OP. I recently had a miscarriage (first time pregnant) and thought I was "ok" with everything until a friend who apparently has the same exact due date posted a sonogram picture. It was really hard to look at knowing that my sonogram picture would have looked like that had I still been pregnant. And my due date was right on my sisters birthday so I know that will be tough for me when that rolls around. I, like you, am hoping to be pregnant before that day comes. Sending positive vibes your way OP!
