Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 , I can totally relate to what you are feeling! I felt the same way with my second child. I knew in my heart there was going to be problems and it was very hard because I did not know the extent of the problems. I tried warning everyone and they all thought I was nuts and my religious grandma said it was the devil talking and to be quiet or he will make bad stuff happen! I can tell you we had a hard road to go down, but my daughter is thriving and you would not know her struggles just by looking at her. Babies are so strong, we don't give them enough credit. Of course, I am not saying there is something wrong with your baby, it could be your baby is going to be just fine!!! Please take comfort in knowing if there is something wrong, as far as medical advanced have come, there is not much they can not fix! I believe you will progress with emotion as your pregnancy progresses. If you are still concerned, I would bring it up with your doctor and see what they recommend. Good Luck and Congratulations on your pregnancy! V Subject: 1st timer worries Hi all. I am having some serious issues and I don't know where else to turn, so you all are my chosen " ears " ....Here's the deal. I am 12 weeks pregnant with my first. I've not yet started to feel excited-- not one bit. I felt nothing but a detached interest at the 8 week ultrasound, and the appointment yesterday to hear the heartbeat was just kind of bizarre. My friends told me they cried, it was amazing, they felt a bond.....all I could think was, " that sounds nothing like I thought it would. It sounds like the beat you'd always hear the Indians playing in those old Westerns...BOOM, boom, boom, boom BOOM. " I know, wierd. No awed amazment, no " oh my gosh, I have a baby in there " moment, just " that's not what it's supposed to sound like. " Is this wierd? Also, I'm sure the baby is not going to be ok. I was hesitant to tell anyone about the pregnancy because I was certain that if I told people that I would lose the baby. My DH is getting annoyed with my lack of excitement and my " nervous nellie " attitude. He wants me to enjoy my pregnancy. Help me! do I need therapy?
