[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 206319, member: 1233"] Hi Nancy and Welcome to our site. Glad you found us, but sorry you need us! I spent several years wondering about that same issue. I was told at 19 I couldn't get preg because health issues. That it simply would be impossible, unless fertility treatments changed radically. So when I got preg at 21 it didn't occur to me or my mom or my SO (we are now married, but were not at the time) that what was going on was pregnancy. I learned I was preggo at 16 weeks!!!! I was thrilled, but also terrified that something I had done would cause problems with my baby. And, that child is my difficult child. BUT it was far and away my easiest pregnancy. With Jess I was under tremendous amounts of stress and she had the cord around her neck, didn't breathe right away, had a bowel movement during labor, etc..... She is my easy child, quite literally. Great temperament, sweet as all get out, her problems are health related and/or due to PTSD from her older bro abusing her. My youngest, thank you, was a really bad pregnancy and labor. Preterm labor, bed rest, morning sickness for the entire time, ALL day long (lost over 20 pounds in the first 4 months!) etc.... The labor was a nightmare, but no c-section. thank you has sensory integration disorder, but is smart, funny, sweet and a great kid. (all the kids are great kids, but thank you has a special sweetness in his makeup that is just amazing) anyway, I decided to look at the issue with the perspective that I did the best I could, given the circumstances and things that were going on during each pregnancy. There is no way to go and change what happened, so I moved on to address things I CAN change to help my kids, and not beat myself up over problems with the pregnancies that could have caused problems. (Did I say that clearly?) while events during each pregnancy were NOT ideal, husband and I did the very best we could, and if problems now arise from a pregnancy there is simply NOTHING we can do to fix them. So we work with what we have, do the best we can with what we have NOW, and try to be good to ourselves and each other. I hope that made sense! Welcome again, Susie [/QUOTE]
