I am glad i not the only one with the 'jinx' feeling. I feel bubs move everyday now, so it makes it easier to go shopping and get excited, but, still in teh back of my mind, is the thought that other people have come this far - and further, and still, it hasnt worked out. But, i try to think positive thoughts, in case baby picks up on the negative ones....
For me, i dont think so much its superstitions, but more of i still cant believe it, and so i keep waiting for something to happen.
I am one of those people that believe in fate - and/or gut feelings. If i feel 100% positive about an idea, or things just sorta fall in place like its ment to happen, then i go for it. And i have never had that 100% positive feeling. Althougth, when i think about it, the timing for this preg has worked out pretty good, i was wanting to leave my job after the easter hols anyway, and thats what i will be doing, so, just maybe it has fallen into place.
The pram superstition is so strongly ingrained here that you're not even given the option of taking the stroller home with you if you buy it before the baby comes. They'll store it in the shop for you and you pick it up after the baby is born!
