Yes. I tried to avoid it as much as I could. I wound up with two cousins pregnant that were each due in one of the months I was supposed to be due. I hid them on FB for a loooong time. Even now when both kids are two and I'm
holding my 10mo in my arms, it can hurt a little to see them.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. It's hard. Lots of hugs.

I'm sorry.

I did the same too. I remember breaking down thinking I should be 20 weeks and instead was 0 weeks.

Hugs ️

I think it would probably be more odd if you didn't realize the milestones after being pregnant.

I don't do it as much with my early loss, but it's hard not to. DH had 8 or 10 friends all due that same year, so when I see those kids, I remember we should have one the same age as them.

And then there were a handful of people due around the time of my second (who was stillborn) so it's hard. I've hidden most of them on facebook, but I can't ignore my own nephew (who I've only met once since he was born. I used to go visit them about once a month).

The time from her due date up until recently were really hard. I had some hard stuff going on at work and couldn't help but think "I shouldn't even be here! I should be on maternity leave"

After my first, it did get easier though. Especially once I'd been around my friends' kids a few times.

it's hard! I usually was able to push it away, but definitely seeing where others were that I would have been do near triggered comparisons.

This is 100% normal, and incredibly hard. It sucks.

Totally normal, I did after both my losses. One of my best friends has a little boy who is the same age as my son would be had he lived, and sometimes it's hard to even be around him. But I have my beautiful double rainbow baby girl, and am so lucky to have her.

Yes, I definitely felt that way. I so desperately wanted to be pregnant again by the time my due date came. Fortunately I was about six weeks along with DD so it did make the due date a little easier. DD had a twin and I still think about him or her quite a bit.

I'm sorry. It's hard. I was doing it today actually. I would have been 39 weeks (which is when my LO was born), or 20 weeks (when I would have had an anatomy scan). Luckily, I am pregnant again, but not far enough along to feel any type of confidence yet.

Thankfully, I know that it does fade with time. I had a loss before having my LO and it feels so far away now.

I am in the exact same place as you my dear! I am in the beginning of my TWW as well, but daily I see a mom pick up her student from my class and she is due around the exact same time as I was. Its slightly torture. But I have to remind myself everyday that I am not mad at her. I just want what she has and I will get it, I will. Just like you will! I also have to remind myself that I don't know her story. I don't know if she struggled or has..etc. Everyone has a story and we know ours so we compare, but we have to remember that everyone has one.. We will get our rainbows! And when we do they will be completely perfect! Much love for you, try your best I know its hard I still struggle almost everyday.
