PAL - strange date coincidence

[minichicky]

Hi ladies
I just got my BFP yesterday after a succesful pregnancy after a MMC in 2009.
Although i have had a succesful one since, the MMC still plays on my mind a lot.
I just posted a thread here about my confusion with dates
https://www.babyandbump.com/bfp-announcements/880850-bfp-but-help-needed-dates-please.html

But the reason I am posting here is based on my last cycle, this babies due date will be within 2 days of that of my MMC/
This has kind of thrown me to be honest, I want to get excited about this pregnancy but with the spotting (as on previous thread) and the dates, it just all reminds me too much of that sad sad time and I really dont want to go there again,
I dont want to go for early scans (didnt with my son) as I had to go for loads with the MMC as it was too early, then still too early etc I would rather just wait until I get a definate yes or no.

Oh gosh, having a loss really does put the dampner on any subsequent pregnancies.

I know it is hard but try to enjoy every moment! It all happens so fast and as you know it can be taken away so fast too. It all out of your control so take care, be healthy and happy for the miracle you are carrying! Congrats on your rainbow!

THank you for your kind words and sorry for your losses.

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I am due a year to the day my miscarriage happened. DH and I were talking about it last night and how I still think of the m/c every single day and how it will be a bitter sweet day.

All I can say is that it does get easier as you get further into your pregnancy. I am 24 weeks now and I am excited and looking forward to that day even though it will be the anniversary of a sad sad day for me. Everything we have to go through leads us to where we are right now. I already feel bonded with this baby and love her to bits. It was hard road but it's brought me here and although I will never forget the baby I lost at 8 weeks, I have so much to be thankful for with this pregnancy.

I had a MMC last year, after a bfp on my birthday. I am pregnant again....and due on my birthday. If anything happens to this baby, I will never have a happy birthday ever again- talk about pressure!

I found out I was pregnant again a few days before the second anniversary of my mc (early August 2009 bank holiday) and figuratively held my breath through the bank holiday weekend in August 2011; my LO was born earlier this month, but I will admit that this pregnancy was mentally difficult as every day I worried that I would lose him -- just acknowledge the day and then, take it one day at a time. It's hard, but it can be done...

best wishes

Thanks so much everyone. After seeing the doc and being reassured that everything should be fine and advise on dates, it looks like this pregnancy is a goer so far! Which gives me edd of 23 October, MMC was due 25th Oct and diagnosed 25th March so as long as I can get through to March,
All your words really are helpful, thank you all xxx

I think it's too easy to read more into these things.

I am 36 weeks pregnant after a MMC which ended on 15th March 2011, my offcial due date with this baby is 16th March 2012. However I shall be having her by elective c section on 9th.

Wishing the best of lukcy with your pregnancy and a very happy and healthy 9 months.
