A Blessing!!!

So far so good, I am about 16 weeks and never had one day of morning sickness, dizziness, nausea or anything. This is my first child and my husband’s second. We are very excited and can't wait to celebrate the life or our new bundle of joy!! We should find out what we're having on Feb. 13, 2007.

So far I've had no complications, no spotting, just very tired and cranky everyday, have yet to feel my baby move. This is a beautiful experience for me that I cherish very much so.

God Bless,

Am I supposed to get happy?

I am 23 yrs old, I have had the same boyfriend for three years now. About a year ago I got pregnant and at the time we both decided that we did not want children and our lifestyles were simply not fit for a baby. (P.S. I am not here to be judged by anyone). We opted for a surgical abortion. I went alone, and then felt uneasy for days to come. Well anyways, a year later we had yet another accident and I became pregnant once again, still neither of us wanted children but decided that two abortions in one year could not be good for my well being, nor my universal karma, so we decided to have the baby.

I was scared and I am still scared. My women friends told me in the beginning I would be scared and feelings of not wanting a child would pass. Well now I am 20 weeks pregnant and I am still not excited about the idea of giving birth to a child. I feel like I am the only one who is dreading the new addition to my family and I am the one carrying this child. Am I the only mother who has these feelings? Sometimes I wonder if I made the wrong decision. I think maybe I should not have kept this one either and these feelings are the universe’s way of telling me that motherhood is not for me.

P.S. I have already heard many times that God will take care of me and this baby is meant to be but as I am a firm believer in reincarnation and universal karma. This does not provide me comfort. I am hoping for reassurance that I am not an empty evil soul and other mothers have felt this way too!

My 2nd Bundle of Joy

I am currently 25 weeks and I have to say this pregnancy is definitely different than my first. My first was breach and she didn't move much, so I didn't get to experience all the movement that I am now.

To me, it is absolutely amazing to be able to experience this in my lifetime. The gift of pregnancy is definitely a "gift". I hope that all pregnant women out there really appreciate the gift we are given.

Good luck to everyone!

scared

I’m 18 and pregnant... I was happy with the guy that got me this way until last Thursday when he broke it off with me. He doesn’t believe the baby is his and won’t try to work things out unless we get a paternity test to prove that he’s the father. I understand where he is coming from.

He had another girl friend that was pregnant and found out the baby wasn’t his... but it hurts so much to know that I have to wait until June to even try to work it out with him. He broke up with me last Thursday... I moved out of his house that Sunday and found out a couple of days ago on Tuesday that another girl asked him out on Sunday and now they are dating... I’m hurting so much... and I'm scared about going through the rest of the pregnancy without him... he said he would be there for me... but I don’t think he will.

I’m so scared that all the stress of this will have an affect on the baby... I’m 18 weeks along, almost 19 weeks... Monday I go for my prenatal appt. so hopefully I can find out what the sex will be. I don’t care what it is as long as its healthy but I’m scared it won’t be healthy because of all the stress I’m going through with him and work... And my stomach is getting bigger but I don’t think I've gained enough weight... I’m eating like crazy so I’m not sure why I don’t look 18 weeks....

hospital misread my pregnancy test

I am now 20 weeks pregnant. I found out I was pregnant in Sept 06, soon after I had strong pains and some bleeding so I went to the hospital. I didn’t know how far the pregnancy was so they only asked me to give urine. Then they said I miscarried. Since then I have had a pretty normal life.

Later in December I started feeling sick so I went to the Dr and she ordered a pregnancy test, which of course, came out positive. We thought I must be around 8-10weeks. We had to decide for a TOP so I got everything sorted for that even if it wasn’t my personal decision. Before the TOP I needed a scan, blood tests and urine tests. Everything went fine till the scan came out that I was 16w+1d.

We decided to keep the baby and since then we are really excited. I had another scan done and it seems the baby is fine but now I am waiting for my blood tests. I am a bit upset as St Mary’s hospital in Portsmouth will not say the sex of the baby so I have to wait another two weeks to see if I will get that done privately or not

Well that is my story for now.

Have a great day all.
