Doing better.
I just wanted to say that since my last post, I am doing a bit better. I am trying so hard to be strong for my daughter who will be here within the next few weeks. Michele, thank you for sharing with me your experience and just letting me know that since you got through your pregnancy after your loss, that I can too. It really helps to know that you were in a likewise situation. After I lost Reese, all I could think about was having another child to love as soon as possible. I truely didn't realize how hard it would be. At that time I didn't care. I sometimes regret it because I wasn't able to really be happy about this pregnancy. I was happy when I found out, then guilty, then scared that my breakdowns were hurting my unborn child. The hardest thing was probably the guilt and fear of losing her because I wasn't doing real well. But if I wasn't pregnant, I don't have a doubt in my mind that I would be drunk alot of the time or doing something worse. I wouldn't have taken care of myself at all. It was hard to do anything right away, but I had no choice when I found out my daughter was coming. So even though I was furious at God at that time, I was so thankful he blessed me with her. I can't wait till I get to hold her in my arms. She is the only thing that can bring a real smile to my face. I just really hope my husband is there with me. I need to stop telling myself I can't do it alone. And realize that I have no choice to go through with it whether he is there with me or not. I need to just try to make the best out of my situation and keep calm. Anyways, Thank you all for just listening and being there for me. |

Re: Doing better.
no need to say thank you! i am glad to help! for what it is worth, i was reading in some womens magazine last month that women who are stressed durring pregnancy have healthier babies...dont know if this is true but i thought that my daughter must be the healthiest baby alive! i know things seem rough right now but you will do okay. obviously, getting pregnant shortly after any major trauma is not advisable, but sometimes we just have to work with what we have got! you know? i hope that this baby is as healing for you as my daughter is for me. i feel so lucky to have been blessed with her. i never thought i would have any more children and when she came along my whole world changed. every day i remind myself how lucky i am to have her. i never for one minute take her for granted. losing my boys made me a better mom. take it easy right now and know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. love michele |
