Hi Daley. I am sorry to hear how sad you are feeling today, but it is a really difficult day to get through. There are lots of milestones, the 20 wk, the due date, the time you planned to go on maternity leave. For some strange reason, despite mc in April, I still have a weekly alert coming in from 'Baby Centre' detailing the baby's development and how I should be feeling. I should take it off (currently at 21 weeks) but for some reason I don't want to - it isn't upsetting me, I don't look at it for too long, but somehow it is helping me to connect to my angel baby and look forward with hope. Now some will say that is completely crazy and my oh thinks I should take it off, me - I really hope to reset it in the next few months.
Everyone needs to find something positive that comforts and supports whether it is journaling, reading, taking to friends, concentrating on their health. Men find their own ways too- they often feel very helpless when they can not do anything practical or help your suffering in any way. Being on the ps3 is probably his way of being near you, focusing on something else and not having to engage in emotional talk where mis-chosen words could upset you more. Sometimes a long silent cuddle can say a million words at this really difficult time - just ask him to hold you.
