Its been a month...

Rate this Entry
Its been a month since I was last on here. I have had so much on my mind and so much going on that I haven't really been able to put much into words really. Delaney has been doing well at her check ups and has passed all of her little exams. She is practicing her breathing even. She also has grown. She put on 1lb 1oz in three weeks, which the doctor said she wouldn't do that much. She is also still active and moves almost constantly. I, however, have been feeling more panicky and worried that she won't make it. In fact some days I feel almost convinced that she won't and then I sink into a weird state of half depression half strength or something. I'm not sure what causes these thoughts or feelings. I have no physical reason to feel like this. If anything I should be more convinced than ever that she's a fighter and going to make it. I don't know if its just because I haven't been sleeping well and have had a lot of the Braxton hicks contractions or what. I will just all of a sudden get a panicked feeling that I've lost her and I mean I panic, I even have a hard time breathing for a few minutes. I know I feel unsettled as far as her room and things go. I think everyone is going to wait on a baby shower until after she is here and doing well. So we have nothing for when she arrives. I don't really know what to do about these thoughts and feelings. I'm 32 weeks tomorrow. I know she is doing okay, and she still responds to my touch. Has anyone else panicked like this? I still have 6 more weeks of appointments and so far it doesn't look like I won't be able to make it, so why panic?

    Although it sounds like a cliche, I realized it was so true when I was pregnant with my little one. Just take it one day at a time and love each day you have with Delaney. Don't think about tomorrow. And when tomorrow does come, appreciate that day with her. You can sing to her, you can talk to her, and she will hear you.

    I am sorry that you are having to go through this. I had some panicky days when pregnant with Jacob. But I agree with Marie, one day at a time. I used to sit on the couch, close my eyes and enjoy the feeling of him moving. It calmed me down if I focused. I'm sorry I dont have any other suggestions but I am here if you need to talk or vent.

    One day at a time and focus on the positive......it sounds like precious Delaney is growing and getting stronger! I wish I had some advice to share, but I did not find out about the CDH until the day my son was born. I know I would have been feeling some of the feelings you are experiencing now if I had known beforehand. Keep talking to her, she will draw strength for you. (((HUGS))) to you.
