I was also due to give birth in February 2013 and at my 12 week scan found out that my baby had stopped growing at 8 weeks. I had already told people I was pregnant because I was trying to be optimistic even though every instinct in my body was telling me something was wrong.
Two weeks before my first baby would have been due, I found out I was pregnant and I now have a 5 month old daughter.
You must never lose hope! It always seems like it's never going to happen for you, but it will. It may take a long time, it may take more losses before you get your amazing baby. But you WILL have a baby.
The loss of my first pregnancy blessed me with the knowledge that I could actually get pregnant after I'd been trying for over year. Now you know you can get pregnant and you will again.
On the very first anniversary of my miscarriage, I find out my best friend is expecting. Oh, was that rough. I was happy for her because I know how much she loves kids and always wanted to be a mommy. At the same time....it made the knife that was in my stomach over the anniversary more painful. Also, many people didn't know I had miscarried...let alone, almost died from blood loss because of the miscarriage.
I'm so sorry... I can relate so much... My baby was due in June, we lost him at 15w5d... And now it seems like everywhere I look, people are having babies in May, June and July... To make the matters worse, it was always my dream to have a baby in the summer... I'm not so determined to wait until next summer, I want a baby a.s.a.p., but this will be our last one (I have a daughter who turned 2 in December), so that's another dream to let go of...

I'm sorry for your loss. You don't have to keep silent, but I get why you do. It's really hard to open up.
