Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 There isn't ANY discussion of personal pregnancy-related emotion that isn't welcome or that doesn't belong on this group. Even unpleasant ones. We don't all have to agree on stuff. I remember the ambivalence, guilt, shame, and fear that I felt early on in my post-WLS pregnancy. I spent several weeks on a continual crying jag because I was so terrified that I would gain back all the weight I'd lost. That baby was SO wanted by my husband and me... and yet I'd undergone such pain and suffering and was really scared that it was all over for me. Especially during the first half of pregnancy when I just looked like I was fat again, not pregnant... it was VERY upsetting to me. And I felt like a wretch because I wasn't 100% happy all the time about it. Eventually, once I was obviously showing, I was able to sit back and enjoy the pregnancy. But those first months were awful. I hope you won't terminate your pregnancy... this little baby deserves to have a life, and you never know just how much you might really NEED this little kid. I have a friend whose third child was unexpected, but now the little girl is 4 years old and is soooo different from her two older sibs -- she wakes up every morning and says stuff like " Mommy, you are so beautiful. I love you so much. " Talk about a natural boost! Anyway, you just don't know how this little kid will impact the world. Nine months might be a miserable wait, but it's possible that this pregnancy won't affect you like the other ones did. Anyway, I hope we can be an encouragement to you.
