I am a teacher and today was our first day back to school. I lost my baby mid July and I have been dreading going back to work for many reasons. Mostly, I am just so sad that when I left I had all these exciting plans about my new baby and now none of it is true. When I got there today I found out that there were 3 women on staff who are due around the same time that I would have been. 3!!I I guess statistically I am the 1 in 4 pregnancy that ends in miscarriage. I just felt horrible all day. I spent about 20 minutes in the bathroom at lunch crying and trying to get it together. I am dreading going back. What am I going to do? I'm just so sad. I wish that I could find comfort in all the words on here that say that my baby has gone to heaven, but I just don't really believe that right now. I just feel so distracted that I don't know how to do a good job at work. Anyway, I just wanted to get this all out. My husband is away right now, so I can't really talk to him in the same way that we normally do.

I am so sorry for your loss. I too dreaded going back to work after my last miscarriage and spent some time crying in the bathroom. It's even harder when you are reminded of the loss by others' pregnancies. I don't really have any advice except to say be kind to yourself, take time to cry and rest and pamper yourself a little. Praying for you - hugs

I had a friend who was due a week before me, and then I have to cousins who are due shortly after me. I am that 1 in 4 as well. it sucks so bad.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
