I had a m/c in January and my due date would have been tomorrow. I was really hoping to be pregnant again before this day, but I got a BFN this morning. I keep telling myself to enjoy life without children and that we will have one soon enough. This seems to be helping, but I am still feeling a little down and I am worried that tomorrow is going to be worse.
Anyone want to share their favorite things to do from before they had kids (or your favorites now if you don't have children)?
I'm so sorry. I hope you have a baby coming home with you soon.
To be quite honest, I'd go out and drink to excess, then go home, crash, sleep in and be lazy ALL DAY the next day. This is something I definitely don't get to do enough of these days.
Sleeping in. Eating breakfast/lunch/dinner without having to share half my plate with a little wide-eyed kid, hand outstretched, waiting for little treats from my plate.
Sorry for your loss. I had one in February, and it sucks.

Sleeping in, naps, reading into all hours of the night, and being able to kiss and cuddle H with out the kid trying to wiggle his way into the middle of it.
I'm sorry for your loss. Do something wonderful for yourself.
Eat out at a restaurant and enjoy your meal. Shop without worrying about little hands grabbing breakables off shelves. Sleep. Drink without worry. Travel. Have a relaxing vacation. Spend the day out and don't worry about nap times.
I'm so sorry. I've been there and it was really hard for me when that due date rolled around too. Just take it easy and cry if you need to. Maybe do something nice for yourself like a pedicure.
One thing I miss tremendously is staying up as late as I want (with lots of wine!) and sleeping in as late as I want. Reading the paper with a big cup of hot coffee (that I don't have to worry about a mobile kid knocking off the table and scalding herself). Leisurely brunch with H, followed by a nap.
I'm really sorry. I don't have kids but do want them soon. My friends who are parents always say enjoy sleeping in, reading all day, drinking lots of wine and being responsibility free. It's nice to be able to do all those things.
I've been in your position myself in 2010. I took my mc hard especially because at the time we had secondary infertility issues and I was so angry that I felt we blew our one chance. On my would have been due date, I didn't feel as bad as I thought I would. I reflected on it a bit but then talked to a friend and later got my hair done.
Just try to stay busy for a little while. Maybe go shopping, or get a pedicure.

Enjoy a meal all the way through. Enjoy a tv show all the way through. Enjoy a road trip all the way through. Enjoy a night of sleep all the way through. Enjoy a trip to the mall all the way through.
I can go on...
So sorry for your loss, take the day to do whatever will make you feel better.
I am so sorry you are hurting. Things i miss are time with my girlfriends. Long phone conversations, girls night, and nursing a girls night hangover on the couch watching a slew of lifetime movies. Also dancing until the clubs close and devoting a whole day to finishing a book.
