Would be 11 weeks today...

[xxkimmy8xx]

Hey Ladies,

I haven't intro'd yet but I've been lurking for awhile.  My baby stopped growing at 6w1d, and I had a D&C two weeks ago today at 9w.  Do you guys ever think about how far along you would have been?  Every Thursday it's so hard for me to get those weekly milestones out of my mind.  I'm doing pretty well emotionally other than that despite the fact that LITERALLY eight women at my office have announced they're pregnant w/ July or Aug due dates.  I feel like when they all start to show it's going to get really hard again.  Universe, what are you doing? Not really sure what the point of my message is other than to vent quickly.  Thanks for listening!

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I know exactly what you're experiencing. It's every Sunday for me. I would have been 11 weeks this coming Sunday. My baby stopped growing at 7 +4 and I had my d&c at 9+1. Luckily no one at work is pregnant... at least it's not public knowledge. I don't know what I would do if I was in that situation.

((Hugs)) I get it. I haven't been doing that this time around, but I did with my second loss. I had an app on my phone that would send me push notifications every Thursday telling me how far along I was. I should have shut it off, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I kind of wanted those reminders. Once I got past my EDD things were easier. Every now and then I think, oh I should have a 12 week old right now... But I'm not as fixated as I was before.

I am sorry for you loss and you are not alone. I definitely did that and the milestones were hard. There is a time that you will start thinking about those weeks less and less but it will most likely pop back up as you near your EDD.

*hugs* to you.

Big ((hugs)). I am so sorry for your loss. I too am experiencing a miscarriage and am dreading Sunday when I would have been 13 weeks. I think over time, and as you move through the stages of grief, you will accept it and not think about it as often. Until then, be gentle on yourself and take your time going through the emotions.

I wish there were words that could take the pain away.

Vent all you want! That's why we are here! I am so sorry that this is happening to you and I completely understand how you feel about other women pregnant around you. It's so hard. Take your time and take care of yourself!

Thanks so much for the support everyone. I know a lot of you have said this, but as hard as going through a MC is, having people to talk to who have gone through/are going through the same thing is SOO helpful. ::HUGS::
