    Thank you sweaty betty. It's scary how the feelings can suddenly overwhelm you. I think after six months I was so taken aback by it all. X

    Thinking of you Looba, I think we will always be sad for the little ones we lost. I found my friends IRL (although great people) didn't really understand. I was very grateful for the support here this time last year :A

    Looba - it is really hard and i can imagine reaching your due date is horrible. I know a couple of people who are due at a similar time to i was and i find it really hard seeing all their updates etc as reminds me of what i don't have. Hugs xx

    We had the service for our baby today. I am glad we decided to do it as although it was really hard I feel like it has given me a little sense of peace.

    Let me say how sorry I am to looba and Wendz for both your losses. I know words are meaningless but I hope you're getting the time and support you need. Surround yourselves with the people that love you and just grieve for your babies.

    Looba: My 2nd miscarriage was also in January, I lost my daughter at 19+6. Her due date was last month. It wasn't a day I was looking forward too. I planned to be with other people that day (I live alone) and I went to a local garden where I'd been planning to take her, and toasted her with an ice-cream - all little ones love ice-cream! I don't know if it helps to hear other people experience becuase I don't think anyone should go through miscarriage. When you get a positive pregnancy test, you just plan ahead for having a baby - well I did anyway.

    Wendz86: The service I had for my daughter was lovely. Again this wasn't a day I was looking forward too - however it gave me some comfort to see the care and time the chaplain devoted to the service. (I had the option of having an individual service but I had my babies buried with the other lost babies becuase I didn't want her to be alone). Take one day at a time, you may find you have good days and bad days.

    Thank you Lara and Wendz. I'm feeling better and more positive today.
    Wendz, I'm glad the service was of some comfort to you and you were able to find some peace.
    Miss-L, thank you for sharing what you did. I am trying to decide what to do on my due date.
    It is so sad for any of us who have had losses but the support on here is very comforting. X

    It is definitely comforting to know other people know how you feel although I wish none of us had to go through it.
