I finally went to my old hairdresser. The last time I went to her I was very close to my due date. After Serenity died, I just couldn't face her. My sis came for a visit and insisted that I got a haircut, and found me someplace to go. I went to this new place probably three times. I just knew I couldn't face my hairdresser, because I knew what she would ask.
I went today. 'So, you been busy with the baby?'
'No baby.'
'What?'
'She didn't make it.'
And I cried. Poor lady.
I think this is really the last person to find out that my pregnancy did not end with a screaming, kicking baby.
My hairdresser is a young lady, maybe 40s, has a teenage daughter and a grandson. Her daughter got pregnant young too. Healthy babies all around. I don't know if that girl knows she is lucky or not.
However, I am glad to be back to quality haircuts.

Good for you. I know that takes some real courage.
I haven't gone back to the dentist for the same reason or taken my kids. I need some of your bravery and some clean teeth.
I hope she was kind to you beyond the good haircut.
xxoo
I'm sorry love. Those are the breathless moments that leave us gasping. Good for you for going. That's real courage.
Ya Chun, I haven't been to my hairdresser since I was pregnant. I'm avoiding her. Actually, I decided to let my hair grow to donate to locks of love. But, the reality is I can't face her...not yet.
That takes real courage. I'm proud of you.
(((HUGS)))
Did you ever imagine that visiting your hairdresser would be so full of emotions? It's so hard.
Good for you for seeing her again, I hope there is some relief with having everyone who knew you were expecting know about your loss.
I'm glad you have a haircut you are happy with again. Hairdressers really aren't interchangeable.
Love to you my coiffed friend.
Aren't you glad to have gotten past that hurdle? (Even though it felt crappy at the time?) I used to dread running into people who hadn't heard too. And it kept happening, sometimes for years later. :(
Ahh I see. I am not the only one. I feel better about it now.
Now I just have to go to the dentist and do the same thing to her.
Hi by the way, just popping in from AnneMarie's blog.
