,

I didnt respond to your original post, I've been pretty sick the past few days,

and I think I have missed a few people on here.

I am sure your daughter will eventually be fine with the new baby.

Especially since she has expressed that she WANTS to be ok with the

pregnancy/sibling. A lot of the gals here made very valid points as far as what

she could be feeling. You sound like you are very in tune with her, and will

continue to consider her feelings. I think it says a lot that you are both able

to communicate what you are thinking/feeling. As far as her feeling there might

be something wrong, that is just her concern and worry for you coming out,

obviously she loves you very much! Ü That is terrible about her teacher

though. Poor thing.

When I became pregnant this last time, my daughter was/is 8.

She had always asked for a sibling, so when we told her we thought she would be

ecstatic. Not so. She felt anxious and worried she wouldnt be the important

one anymore and would have to share mommy and daddy now. She did eventually get

very excited about the baby, and was right by my side when I delivered him, and

is in TOTAL love with her baby brother. I know it's not the same as with a

teenager, but I can understand your concern.

Please keep us posted on how you and your family are doing.

I am sure it will all end up just fine.

Take care!

Thanks to everyone who responded to my post. Time will tell I

guess. My daughter is now saying that she has a gut feeling that

something is very wrong about this pregnancy. She mentioned a

teacher at her school who delivered a baby stillborn a few weeks ago

so maybe her fears are for the baby or for my own health. She did

say to me that she felt that she wants to feel fine about a new

sibling and she feels she should feel fine with it but just doesn't.

We'll see.
