Oh dahl I dont know what to say except it must be so terribly hard at this stage. And you made me a little teary reading this.

[~Trish~]

Sending you a big hug . You are doing such a great job and you are well and truly entitled to lose it every so often .

I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be for you, but I just want to let you know that I have great admiration for you. You have been amazingly positive throughout this pregnancy and we will all be so happy when we hear you are holding your precious Cookie safely in your arms .

[Trillian]

Oh Teni that must have been terrible to think it had happened again. Maybe you should tell him about this so he can help you get through these last weeks a bit easier? Even if it's just so he knows that your feeling a little extra fragile and need extra attention from him.

Massive hun, I was exactly the same as you when I was pregnant with Bella. What you are feeling right now is perfectly normal, I worried the whole 9mths and when she was born I just kept on crying out is she ok even after I heard her beautiful little cry. I wish I could tell you not to worry but you will worry, it's so normal after a loss. We are all here for you xxxx.

Regards,

I think what you are feeling is very normal huge hugs that you have the strength to get through.

I couldnt read and not post

Definately tell Scott how your feeling, he will want to know so he can help you through xxoo

LIke Michelle said- sadly you have lost the innocence of pregnancy after losing Ianto- so it will be tough, but you will get there xxoo

I think you've done amazingly well to get to 27 weeks without a major freakout. Part of it may now be Cookie's changed position or taking up more room. A lot will probably have to do with the fact you're in the home stretch now. You're not far from when Ianto died and that will be a major milestone to get through.

Just take each day as it comes. Use a kick counter. Meditate on Cookie and send her/him lots of love. If it makes you feel better to pack a bag, do so, but include the baby clothes and blankets for the live baby you'll be bringing home. You know you can get a scan anytime to reassure yourself.

You're doing really well growing your baby. This is a different pregnancy and a different baby. Play your affirmations track over and over. It will help, even for just a little while. I don't know how far into the hypnobabies course you are, but it may help to start doing the fear clearing session - just don't do it while you're on your own.
