Am I the only one?

Ok ladies for some reason today has been very emotional for me, I m/c in Jan. & by 2day being Mother's Day it has been very hard on me. I cry off & on, & I feel so bad about it cause I don't want to feel anymore pain about it but for some reason I just do. I told my husband  I suppose to be five mths now. It's wierd; I know that I'm over it but I guess I just feel something today bc I would have been able to celebrate this day if I was still pregnant.

Thanks ladies, even though I hate all of you all went threw the pain. I'm happy that I have you all to talk about it.

I'm sorry for all you ladies who lost mother's & grandmothers.

To babydreams:  That's exactly what I do now; think of future moments with my little one.

I'm so sorry you had a difficult day. :( I had a m/c last fall and it still makes me sad to think about. There are still times when I think of the baby that would-have-been and take a moment to deal w/the sadness that still lingers. Take comfort in knowing that there are so many out there who relate to your pain... and sympathize with all the many feelings that come along w/losing an unborn child. A m/c is something that I personally don't think you ever get over... Just like the rest, you will heal in your own way, in your own time. And in enough time, the pain won't be as difficult to bare. Try to think about the future Mothers Days when you WILL have a little one of your own to hold; stay positive and never lose faith. Best wishes to you!

I know how you feel as well. I would have actually just became a mother last week. Yesterday was pretty hard for me as well. We went to dinner at my grandmother's house. My dad and gpa cooked for the girls. My mom went shopping with my grandma and got each other things. When I was at dinner my grandma handed me 100$ gift card to get my hair done. She said it was because I was supposed to be a mother today..:(

We will all get our chance to celebrate mother's day..and for all who are already mothers I hope you had a great day yesterday!

I too feel the same way.  I would have never imagined back in August 2007 when we began TTC that I would have endured a m/c and still be TTC.  My SIL is due in about 3 weeks and I feel like I should be right there along with her.  I am just trying to take it day by day but I feel like it consumes me sometimes (wishing I was pg).  Sometimes I don't think going on this forum helps (me stop thinking about getting pg) but I get so much advice and support when I'm on here.  I'm not sure if I would have gotten through my m/c without the help of everyone on here.

Yesterday was hard and I was trying not to be too emotional because I didn't want to put a rain cloud on my mom and my mil's day...I would have been due next month =(  I just hope that when that day comes that I'll be able to keep it together as well as I did yesterday but I am afraid that's when it will all 'hit the fan'.  Bless us all and hopefully we will get our perfect baby after all this waiting...

I was on youtube today and found this video. It's about a woman who had a m/c.  It's a great video I think it might help some

It's a hard day for many women for many reasons. I have an enormous headache from bawling my eyes out because my mom died almost 4 years ago. Throughout the entire year I don't really get emotional about her death, but Mother's Day and my birthday are very difficult.

Time does heal your pain. It does get better. You'll never forget though. I was a basket case the first 3 months after my two m/cs. Hope you the best.

I'm the same way yesterday was very hard for me knowing today was mothers day.  I cried and cried last night for a few hours with my best friend who lost her baby to sids 3 years ago.  She seems to be the only one in my life that knows how I'm feeling.

I couldn't even wish my mother happy mothers day---couldn't say the words, I would've been 7 months (lost at 5 months).
