I'm sure we've all been there, and on some level, we've all regretted it.<BR/><BR/>That being said, I applaud you for wanting to celebrate & enjoy this pregnancy. That's the way it SHOULD be.

I must also chime in that I sometimes feel that way too-where I congratulate someone for their pregnancy but as they progress further than I did, I get jaded and sad.

I'm a few weeks behind you and still trying to figure out the balance between not telling too many people in case something goes wrong and being excited about this stage. I'm also finding myself incredibly hesitant to buy maternity clothes, although it is apparent to everyone that I am already in need of them. So thanks for the clear thoughts on the issue.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243054875237959038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968041563920742433.post-59750839870828718282008-06-01T15:37:00.000-04:002008-06-01T15:37:00.000-04:00OMG, I am so glad to hear this!

If you have friends dealing with this IRL, you have to be sensitive and pay attention to what you say. So here, in the blogosphere, you get to talk all about yourself and your feelings. It might hurt some people, but that might happen anyway because you're pregnant. Meanwhile, if you censor yourself, you lose this opportunity to share your real feelings and get people's thoughts on them (tons and tons it seems, during NaComLeavMo).Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335915683875653154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968041563920742433.post-10759057241778240452008-05-31T08:03:00.000-04:002008-05-31T08:03:00.000-04:00Congratulations on your pregnancy.

And fortunately, everything turned out okay. It's scary to enjoy, because you don't want the rug pulled out from under you. It makes it emotionally easier if you can remain somewhat detached; but it's brave to enjoy yourself. So keep talking about doulas and nursery colors and names -- you've earned it, and the odds are in your favor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968041563920742433.post-59254168128277304362008-05-31T02:33:00.000-04:002008-05-31T02:33:00.000-04:00You GO GIRL!

It is the thing to do, you need to move to your happy space with this PG. <BR/><BR/>I had a friend tell me early on that she hoped I could just enjoy being pregnant. She said, "What if it DOES end badly? And you didn't enjoy it while it lasted? What would it change, other than you not enjoying what part you did have?". She added, "Do you think being worried will make any difference in the outcome?", and I had to answer truthfully, no.<BR/><BR/>I saw great wisdom in this, and I tried very hard to put aside my fears. It worked for me. I think I was at 15 wks, and it did a world of good for my outlook.
