I'm praying for you to have peace and not worry about the "what if's". Don't fear but have faith sugars that you will be holding a perfectly, healthy baby. Only visualize these positive things happening to you ;)<br /><br />xoxo<br /><br />waitingforbabybird.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11265254522670394237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3037340038282424471.post-3472096997306847872014-06-01T14:30:39.447-04:002014-06-01T14:30:39.447-04:00Oh my gosh the stories people tell are just so not...Oh my gosh the stories people tell are just so not ok! I agree with Heidi, sometimes it really makes me want to punch people. I have been reading tons of positive birth stories try and counter act all the fear out there.<br /><br />Sorry about not feeling the kicks yet. Anterior placenta will do that for sure and there is such a wide range of when women feel the first movements. <br /><br />I have random fears the pop up about if I'm eating too much or too little, if baby is growing strong, if something will go wrong... they are definitely unpleasant, but completely natural fears, especially considering the long journey we've all gone through to get here.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622377397195134361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3037340038282424471.post-23404788560333800952014-06-01T10:29:07.618-04:002014-06-01T10:29:07.618-04:00I have the EXACT same feelings & fears. At fir...I have the EXACT same feelings & fears. At first my belly was too big & I was gaining too quickly. So I changed my diet to be more sensible & healthy and now I feel like I'm not gaining quick enough. I think I'm feeling the baby flutter & kick but it may just be my mind. Then I was telling a woman who was at recess with me the other day (I'm a teacher) that I'm pregnant and we've had a hard time between infertility & miscarriages and I'm still a little anxious. So she begins to tell me about her friend who has had a hard te with miscarriages and keeps miscarrying at 16 weeks. I had just finished telling her I was 16 weeks and anxious. So the anxiety started all over again. I could have socked her. It's hard. It's all really hard. Especially when we're so used to our bodies failing us. I don't know what the answer is but - hang in there. You are not alone. Hugs!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13213799827326314663noreply@blogger.com
