PAL Fall 2011 ***26 Healthy Babies***

[srm0421]

Has it really helped? I am so nervous for my appt. I have to be honest about my feelings and thoughts. I am not in danger of hurting myself but I have "bad" thoughts about something happening to my other kids or Eric or even imagining that this baby is going to die someway and I am afraid the councilor will think I am crazy. So my anxiety over my anxiety is through the roof too.

trust me they wont think your crazy, i am seeing a Psychiatrist about my feelings and thoughts and over the past few weeks i have found it has really made a diffrence to help me accept this baby and using Cognitive behavioral therapy I have started to gain some insite to how im feeling and dealing with anxiety..hopefully you will find it as helpful as i have I have been assured that how we feel is to be expected after a loss, feel free to pm me if you need to talk, rant or vent as I know how tough it can be

Hi ladies. Sorry I have not posted on her for a while! Hope all is ok. Bug hugs to arm and gecko. I know we all feel very anxious about the health of our children but it sounds like yours really will benefit from some counselling. So
Sometimes I will sit here and really fret about things happening to Sofya or my unborn little man and even oh. I have to stop myself before it spirals out of control. I defo think talking about your fears helps a lot. Lots of love to u x x

 

[repogirl813]

srm, i really hope the counciling helps you through this hard time, and makes you realize that every pregnancy is different, and you will get to keep this one!

to those ladies who need them right now

And big congratulations to all those who have had happy scans

All is well with us here, i am just extraordinarily tired and hungry 24/7, it's like first trimester all over again, the only difference being i have a big bump as well!

I am looking forward to third trimester, and actually getting quite impatient to meet baby and introduce him to his big brother!

Yesterday would have been our due date with the twin pregnancy had things progressed differently. I can't say that i was upset because i wasn't at all, i was respectfully aware of the date and it's meaning but i got on with the day like any other, i had a lovely time taking Toby to his swimming class and tried to focus my thoughts and energies on this baby i am cooking right now and my belief that things have a way of working out for the best i think.

Me too Rebaby! Feeling a lot more tired of late and heartburn is killing me!

Our due date for our pregnancy that was due around the same time as your s was 17 July so I can totally relate to how you feel. I too did not dwell much on this cos I was kept busy with Sofya and junior kicking the hell out of me! Our angels will not be forgotten though x x x

 

[pip7890]

It was my due date for the baby I lost at Christmas today. Good to hear that you both felt the same way about your due date too.

awww, on the EDD anniversaries.

 

[shelleney]

Thinking of you all around this sad time

My due date for my angel was in January....and I didnt cope as well as you guys. I was devastated and struggled to cope. But I think it was because I didnt have another baby to focus on. I imagine if I was pregnant then, I would have had something positive to look forward to, rather than dwelling on the past.
Last month, it was the one year anniversary of my loss, and I thought I would be devastated again. But I coped so much better than I did in January, and I think it was because I had this baby to focus on and be positive for.

Good luck to you all

[Aquarius24]

Hey ladies how are we all doing? Glad you feel you coped better with the anniversary shelleney - its always gonna be difficult though at such big milestones, big hugs to you and all the edd that would have come around...

How is everyone feeling? I think I had some BH last - were not painful just a bit uncomfortable, something was definately happening! My bump seems huge and tight too. Hope everyone well xx

 

[srm0421]

I have been having BH for awhile now. They of course scare me since the only time I had them was with Gage and he came early. Mine are starting to get more uncomfortable it seems. I have an appt on the 8th so I will bring it up then. I also am feeling so huge lately, I can't even roll over very well. Today is Gage's birthday so I am not doing well.

 

[jcg0506]

Hello ladies! I haven't been on here in forever, but wanted to drop in and say hi. Hugs to everyone who has recently passed their EDD; mine was back in May and it didn't turn out as bad as I had thought. Still, I worry as I pass each new milestone, and yet so far each has gone by with no sign of trouble. My newest worry is that I'll go into pre-term labor (I've had some espisodes of back-to-back BH) or that lo is breech (actually he was head down last week but he feels like he's gone back to transverse).
Take care everyone!

 

[fides]

for Gage's birthday.


i can't believe some of you are over 30 weeks - that sounds like such a big #!!!

 

[srm0421]

I worry about preterm labor now and I haven't even reached 30 weeks yet.

big hugs to you, that has to be very hard to deal with, I know i would have a very hard time with that!!!! I hope all is going well with you and your lo!!!
