Hello Ladies,
I need some advice.......I lost my baby 2 weeks ago today at 14wk2d due to preterm labor. My problem: I posted on facebook that we were expecting on Jan 15. I thought we were in the "safe zone" as I was almost 13 weeks pregnant. I feel so stupid now. Ppl are still commenting on the picture and I just can't take it. I spent the first week and a half locked in our house bc I didnt want to face the truth and the awkward "I lost our baby" conversations. I went to my hair appointment last Thursday and the first thing she says " Where's that baby bump? Let me see!". Friday I drove 45 minutes out of town to eat with my girlfriend (hoping this would make me feel a little better and hoping to not run into anyone i knew). I saw 3 couples I knew there. Everyone ran up to me saying "Congratulations!!!". I had a drink in my hand which made me feel guilty so I just blurted out to each of them " I am not pregnant!". Then, Saturday I went by the deadest mall in the world to find DH something special for Valentine's bc he has been so great to me. And in walks a couple saying "Congrats!!!!" I just smiled and said thank you bc I just didnt want to have to explain myself again.
I know I got myself into this situation. Believe me, I will NEVER post anything this personal on facebook again. I am soo mad at myself. I was just so excited. I waited until I was 9 weeks to tell my own mother. I was ready to scream it from the roof tops!! Now I feel like I should post something on facebook about us losing the baby. Maybe something like the date we lost her and a sweet qoute. maybe this way ppl will know and I dont have to explain myself over and over. I don't know! What do you ladies think? Have any of you delt with this? And how did you deal with those awkward conversations when ppl approached you?
Thanks in advance![Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
