Stop looking at ads with the beautiful preg belly on momslikeme. It hurts.

Here are my notes:
Stop trying to do this naturally. It won't happen.
Stop going to the TTC forum and reading the posts about woman getting preg. after only a couple months. It makes me annoyed and sad.

I'll add:
* stop checking in on the due date clubs of lost pregnancies.
* stop looking at your newborn stash and aching for a little bum to fill them.

After today I also need to add:
- Remember DH is grieving too, and he feels just as helpless, so cut him some slack.

*note to self: DH is mourning too.... I don't need to keep asking him if he's even sad at all. He is. He just can't express it the same way I can.
*no, the kids are not going to mourn like me. They will go on and be happy, even when I'm still sad.
*try not to look at all the tiny newborn fluff right now.

I remember with our first losses I thought DH wasn't really being affected by them - he gave lots of hugs and cuddles to me, he said he was sorry, but he seemed so strong and... not hurt. Then when we got the bfp with Levi I realized how much he had been affected - he told me then that he was really scared and couldn't get excited about the baby right away, he was too scared of another loss. :(
It definitely is hard on them, too, just in a much different way. They don't have the physical loss to deal with, and they just want to be so strong for us. But they need :hugs: and breaks too.

Turn off the radio, too. Half the songs on it still put me into gales of tears. And stay away from Facebook. Right after a loss is when everyone on the planet posts pregnancy updates.

Stop checking the calendar to see what time you'll miscarry if you accidentally got pregnant this month

don't go to loveybums and order newborn diapers for a baby that isn't going to be wearing them.
