Tina - well what we did was a little bit different. We're our own special brand of pagan, and so we went to a place that feels..calming and close to the elements for me, and we took four hairs from each of our heads, and tied one of each together. So we had 4 little knots that had a strand of each of our hair. Then we dropped one into the river, buried one in the earth, threw one up to get caught in the wind, and burnt the last one. It was our way of..kind of sending our baby back to the elements. And we just sat quietly and had a little cry together, I sent off a little prayer. We had a quiet dinner together afterwards with nice natural ingredients and organic wine, and then bought a mandarin tree, which is still alive and strong.

That was for the first EDD, the second one fell last Christmas Eve, and we didn't actually do anything for that one..maybe because we'd been through it before, I'm not sure.

Vanaithi - I'll probably test in a week, because I'm fairly sure I O'd last Friday. Oh, and we don't have cats yet, but want to get some when we move

Hi. I'm Joey. I m/c last weekend and am having trouble occupying my mind for a month before the dr says we should TTC again. DH I'm sure is over all the baby talk, so thought this is the best place for me now!! Sorry for the ignorance, what's EDD?

[plc1805]

Oh joey honey welcome - so sorry for your loss my sweet. Feel free to say anything you feel in here without judgement - your feelings are real and i'm sure we can each identify with a lot of them. No need to feel ignorant - EDD is Estimated Delivery Date. No doubt you will have one too. I hope we can make you feel as comfortable as you need to be and that your stay is short before you are UTD (up the duff!) again PS. Even tho I am UTD, I do find it very hard to leave this thread - the enormity of feeling I felt TTC is still very fresh in my mind and I feel everyone's pain as if it were indeed me currently going thru it.

Acria - how you described your 1st m/c EDD was just incredible!!
Tina - I must admit we didn't do anything at either of our EDD's - I think we may have even missed the the exact date. We just commented at around the time of each one how life would have been a lot different around now had things worked out differently. I think that by the 1st EDD i had already had the 2nd m/c and it was getting all confusing about the feelings of the first from the 2nd. I think too that we were so focussed on just getting pg that we were always looking forward rather then backward. Everyone is different and copes with these things in different ways. I pray ul get thru urs ok.

Jen - ok - there are 2.2lbs per kg. So I think i put on around 26lb with DS so your 24lb is about there if not even better! Oh we'll have you talkin' kilos in no time!!!!

Hey vanaithi, pbstar, mollycat, and everyone else - big big big hugs!!
