At the end of December 2018 I was diagnosed with an Ectopic pregnancy and had surgery to remove my right tube. It was my first pregnancy and my husband and were already so excited in the three short weeks I was pregnant.
I spent about 6 months in therapy to help me recover emotionally and I managed to get myself a place where I was finally able to be happy again. We are also excited to be expecting our rainbow baby in Jan.
With my due date for the ectopic pregnancy coming up next week I find I’m really struggling with the loss again and barely managing to get out of bed in the morning. The due date also coincides with my parents in-law’s wedding anniversary and my niece’s birthday, and I’m so worried about being around all the celebrations without being absolutely miserable.
I would love to hear how other people dealt with the due date, especially in the first year. Or if anyone has an idea for something special I can do with my husband to remember and honor our baby?
