I know that it is normal firstly about holding the newborn. It would freak me out, even now after I have my own two. I dont want to have to do with newborns and all their cuteness, facing possible realities, it is too much. Also the round ligament thing, speak to your gynae, let him/her check just to allay your fears,I had 'rlp' and I know it can be very scary.<BR/>Going through fertility and loss only makes you realise how fortunate all those people who got pregnant so quickly and easily and sailed through there pregnancies are. They have a wonderful ignorance that is lost on all of us. I wish you only the best and hope time will make this journey easier for you.<BR/>Love Liannesoul-questhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12227026734183361188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-74173108070043713962008-02-18T18:20:00.000-08:002008-02-18T18:20:00.000-08:00Katie, Take a deep breath and breathe!

Call and get in to see the Dr. It never hurts, you are a first timer at this stage and you are bound to worry. <BR/><BR/>The feelings of saddness when holding the baby was more than likely knowing what you have lost in the past and keeping up with all of us newbies to the boat. Which by the way THANK YOU!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912286121374215944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-32431618787874574812008-02-18T16:07:00.000-08:002008-02-18T16:07:00.000-08:00I don't think that worry every goes away.

Worrying is completely normal and likely won't go away until your child is married and out of the house...and even then... :PRBandRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018306370247688896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-88577654669146764692008-02-18T15:08:00.000-08:002008-02-18T15:08:00.000-08:00Ahh yes, I had the same pain once.

Thought for sure that was it, my baby was dead.<BR/>Thank god for the doppler, I was able to check...I was about 11 or 12 weeks, that I do remember. That was the one and only time I had that pain...<BR/>Face it, we're going to think we're doomed until the babies are in our arms. Even then we will find even more to worry about.<BR/>We have been completely robbed of believing we might end up with a real life baby to hold at the end of this. I still dont believe it for myself either.Mrs. Piggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10981344126071792523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-4611691063048486852008-02-18T14:29:00.000-08:002008-02-18T14:29:00.000-08:00Your description of that feeling of panic and doub...Your description of that feeling of panic and doubt...well...I couldn't for the life of me come up with a better way to describe it. I don't think I can count the number of times each day that it grips me, too.<BR/><BR/>But, as everyone has told me AND as the 1,000s of pages of information I have read on Dr. Google indicate, you *will* experience reprieves with morning sickness and fatigue.... Hope that helps to reassure you a little.<BR/><BR/>XOXOXOLIW (Lady In Waiting)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06199047053421154823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-68286507368202809142008-02-18T13:07:00.000-08:002008-02-18T13:07:00.000-08:00Just keep rememberimg the RLB thoughts. . .Just keep rememberimg the RLB thoughts. . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490746375774981338.post-47386475736317978982008-02-18T12:55:00.000-08:002008-02-18T12:55:00.000-08:00I can totally imagine my pregnant-self having thes...I can totally imagine my pregnant-self having these same exact feelings.
