A lo...I can't believe you're 32 weeks now!<br /><br />A lot of what you described about your feelings and depression etc I went through. I think I just didn't want to face the fact that it was PPD and I kept thinking it was hormonal from giving birth and the Ds dx and things would get better. Joe kept encouraging me to see a dr and maybe get some meds, but I kept refusing. In hindsight that probably would have been a good thing, sigh...<br /><br />anyway, praying that everything goes smoothly for you!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441176684416139172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605290941469070740.post-77534827069745843062009-10-28T10:47:08.355-04:002009-10-28T10:47:08.355-04:00I agree, the thought of miscarriage never crossed ...I agree, the thought of miscarriage never crossed my mind until having one between 4 and 5. The thought of birth defect never crossed my mind until I had Eva. It kind of took some of the joy out of my subsequent pregnancies. Joy and fear both took turns with #5 and 6, even after reassuring ultrasounds, i couldn't shake the what if's. But, 9 months later, everything turned out alright.COOLWHIPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17147859523699067028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605290941469070740.post-79725944867757830522009-10-28T10:10:19.446-04:002009-10-28T10:10:19.446-04:00Wow - many of your thoughts are mine too!

So I'm scared that I won't know what to do with a 'typical' child! LOL! Having said that, I also have dreams that my second baby also has Ds - very strange...<br /><br />Take care of yourself and be gentle with yourself and your thoughts - it can only be ok (that's what I always tell myself).Loren Stowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029794638872184342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605290941469070740.post-79710752104391956862009-10-28T09:52:28.076-04:002009-10-28T09:52:28.076-04:00Good to hear things are going well with your pregn...Good to hear things are going well with your pregnancy. <br /><br />I often felt at odds after Ella was born, it seemed so different to mother her after Sean. There was a lot of adjustment to do. I had a rough time with feeling frustrated and angry and overwhelmed for months pp. I asked my OB if it was something that medication would help and she told me it was normal. I still think that I could of used some help with my emotions instead of having to wait for things to get better.<br /><br />Good for you for being prepared!SunflowerStorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811073595725040739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605290941469070740.post-70540546511092337842009-10-28T02:45:17.427-04:002009-10-28T02:45:17.427-04:00Our second is our typical child, and I do remember...Our second is our typical child, and I do remember having many emotions to deal with in those early days. It was strange how our typical boy was so easy to understand and bond with. Charlie was our first, so we knew no different. I felt like I had to bond all over with charlie, and I still feel like I need extra space to reconnect with him in a way that makes my heart feel secure. It is good to be prepared. Good job.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16979494101351514296noreply@blogger.com
