I still worry about bad stuff happening to my kids.

Babies dont need fancy prams, or cots, or bouncers.. they need love, warmth, food and protection. You and the HG have these things... if you do nothing else to prepare for this baby, you have all it needs.. you can feed it, carry it and share your bed... besides its completely normal to feel like you have to reach certain milstones... normal normal normal... <br /><br />PS: 'they' are the marketing people who want you to buy into the comercialism of babies... says the woman with 6 baby carrier, 4 prams, 3 nappy bags and at one point 2 cots... oh and 2 portable cots... and toys galore... lol...Kinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00200333475953271988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347464733373565708.post-5499964950411381262011-01-28T16:56:47.351+13:002011-01-28T16:56:47.351+13:00I was exactly the same, not sure if it is the IF t...I was exactly the same, not sure if it is the IF thing or if it is just natural. Once the baby starts moving you will feel better, of course, then there will be a day when you hardly feel them move at all and the worrying starts again...until the next kick that is. <br /><br />I had a bit of heartburn too, and the thing I found to be the best was peppermint tea, as soon as I got some of that into me, the heartburn would ease off. <br /><br />I can't believe you're almost 20 weeks, seems like yesterday I read the post that you got your BFP!!cruisyjoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939194944542557268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347464733373565708.post-33519693207686047472011-01-28T14:05:33.776+13:002011-01-28T14:05:33.776+13:00almost half-way there!!

I'm still struggling to write my PG Journey on my blog because of how scary the time was for me. It wasn't till I was 36 weeks that I finally bought a little outfit for Callum. I refused to receive any gifts from anyone until after the birth and I also refused anyone to host me a baby shower. It is quite normal for what you are feeling right now and only YOU will know when the right time is to feel "comfortable". The flutters are awesome and keeps your heart at ease.

But yep, I know how you feel; it's hard not to worry, especially when your pregnancy has been so hard won and you know others who have experienced pregnancy loss at later stages. All you can really do is take it one step at a time, and you will find you'll relax a bit more as your pregnancy progresses.<br /><br />Get on with clearing that room HG! :D<br /><br />Ali xoAlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031604610383786151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347464733373565708.post-18310888743387386972011-01-28T11:39:06.311+13:002011-01-28T11:39:06.311+13:00What you are feeling Haidee is totally normal afte...What you are feeling Haidee is totally normal after everything you've been through to get to this point, you always worry that something will happen to take it all away from you. <br /><br />I feel the same with the twins. At first it was cause of the risk of miscarriage then after 12 weeks it was the worry of our not so good NT results and then the ever present risk of premature labour. I thought by 24 weeks I would start to relax a bit more but with the odds more in our favour now, but now the worry is will I be ready for them when they do come! The only thing I have bought (well, laybyed!) is the pram!<br /><br />We will get there babe and if you ever need to chat, you know where I am :)Livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260271079003372083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347464733373565708.post-50930412059800698922011-01-28T10:21:03.858+13:002011-01-28T10:21:03.858+13:00I was about to yell and scream at you to calm down...I was about to yell and scream at you to calm down... But then I realized that through IF you have been exposed to alot of sad stories and losses. But they are not your stories. This is a new chapter, every step of this pref your bub has been normal everything! And having a normal healthy preg is actually nomal, the sad stories are the minority. But you have been exposed to more of the sadness than the stock standard textbook pregnancies. <br /><br />I first had a mc in June, then preg in Nov and not once did I even come close to worrying. I don't know why, but it never entered my head that something could go wrong. And I did have a very textbook preg and labour. And I know that you will too. Your IF was a huge struggle and huge achievement, but sorry to tell you, you are now in the normal category.. Bet it feels good!!!<br /><br />Belly rubs to your son, yes it's def a boy in my vote! And I am glad I get to share the preg journey with you!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347464733373565708.post-49296926423375804452011-01-28T09:00:11.675+13:002011-01-28T09:00:11.675+13:00I can totally relate to what you're feeling :)...I can totally relate to what you're feeling :) I'm now 23 weeks and have been waiting for those milestones (12 week, 20 week) and now it's 24 weeks as this is when baby is supposed to be viable if born but I know that it won't really ease my mind. I was sorting out leave for work the other day and still had in the back of my mind 'what if I have to come back if baby doesn't make it?'. I thought I'd worry less but I was talking to someone who has had no problems with infertility and she says as a parent you are constantly worrying! Even when they are born there is something else to worry about!! So maybe you are either one of those types of people or not?? We just have to keep thinking positive that we will both have our babies in a matter of months :)Marikanoreply@blogger.com
