6 Days!! Need encouragement...

@katliz I think your comment would be better off as your own post instead of on @excited's post.

Anxiety!! genetic test in 2 wks! Help!

Hello ladies I have always suffer from anxiety now with this my first pregnancy at 35 it has gotten worst.. I try not to think negative but I feel stupid to have irrational fears. My husband and I are pretty healthy Im 11 weeks tomorrow and so far baby is ok. The took my blood for genetic testing and in 2 weeks I will go for the Nucheal translucency test. I need some encouragement please. Any mamas out there 35 + or any age with some positive words?. Since week 5 I feel like i freak out about everything.?

Your post is so heart-wrenching OP. I'm praying for you and your baby ?? I can't even imagine the weight of what you must be feeling inside but I think I understand a tiny bit of the fear you're facing bc I had it with my daughter after I miscarried our first baby. Hugs

Oh mama I have no words but I'll be thinking about you??

Thinking of you, mamas!???

Thank you! I need all the prayers I can get. Also, prayers for a successful VBA2C on Monday!

So sorry. Sounds like a beautiful way to celebrate him. You have my prayers, hugs and best wishes

Such a sweet way to celebrate Enoch ? and I'm praying that soon you will have a cute little cuddly baby in your arms.

Sorry for your loss. Praying for a safe and smooth delivery. Stay positive!

Thank you, ladies.

My BP has been through the roof all day, I'm sure from the anxiety. But that doesn't help either. LOL

I'm so sorry. I remember your posts about your beautiful son last year and what all you went through.

You will be okay and so will this baby. Maybe try writing a letter to yourself. Write down all your anxiety, fear and sadness that you feel with your upcoming birth. Then throw it away. Maybe this might help in some small way to release yourself from these negative emotions.

Hugs momma ?

I love that idea, Car! Thank you!!

Oh momma. You've been on my heart this entire last year. I've prayed for you and will continue to, as the Lord provides what you need each day at a time.

Maybe making one those beautiful wood ornaments you posted last week? I know you said you named him Enoch because he "walked with God." Maybe an ornament with a set of footprints? He'd be a year old now. So perhaps footprints in a size 4, to represent his birthdate and his age?

I am praying for you ❤

I love the birthday cake and lantern idea. ?

I'm so sorry hun. I don't think anything will ease the pain from losing Enoch. But you are so strong and will get through this! I will be praying for you all.

Thank you, ladies.

I was thinking of making a birthday cake with the kids on Thursday for his birthday and then setting off a paper lantern in the evening with his name on it. I want to make him another Christmas ornament for our tree but I just have no energy to even come up with something that feels right for him.

I'm so sorry ? just take one day at a time, and if one day is too much just get through one hour, one minute, one second, at a time. Breathe through it, accept the feelings as they come then push them away. I'm so glad your induction isn't on Enoch's birthday, I remember that was something you were worried about. Just soak up all those wiggles and kicks, don't worry about getting stuff ready and just live in each moment. Having a little ceremony for Enoch will probably help as well, and maybe you can do some sort of memorial or remembrance for him once your new baby is born? Sending love to you and your family, I hope you can find peace ?

Everything is going to be ok mama. Prayers for your strength. ? I can't wait to see your beautiful baby if you share photos. I was here last year when you were going through everything and you're a very strong mama I'm so happy your baby is going to be here soon. ❤️

Oh mama, I have no words, but you are in my prayers. I believe everything will be ok. Hugs to you. ❤️

It's going to be ok. I felt the same way with my last two kids, especially my last because she's my rainbow baby. You will have him safely in your arms in 6 days ?
