Ok, so Im wittling again I know, but do you believe in bad omens during pregnancy? I worry as it is that something terrible is going to happen, this has been apparent since the day I got pregnant, but today whilst flicking through my magazine, every other article seemed to be about people who are loosing their babies. Call me daft, but I kinda saw it as a bad omen. Litterally, it was right infront of my face on more than one occasion. In one article, a woman spoke of how she dreamt of pushing an empty pram- she then lost her baby at birth.. It almost made me cry, I felt so so sorry for her. She was only 20, too!
No i dont believe in bad omens either .. its just that you are sensitive to these things now. They would have been there anyway .. just you probably wouldnt have taken any notice of them. I found that before i got married i saw loads of articles about peoples weddings that went drastically wrong .. and nothing went wrong on my wedding day!
the only one i belive in is not to have the pram in the house before the baby arrives, i belive its bad luck, really dont know where i have got that from, but its something i have always had in my head, just an old wifes tale i guess, but i go by it
Same as when you TTC suddenly everyone has babies or is pg. Just something you pick up on more often.
Yeah you're right there. It's natural to worry about the birth, but the chances of anything bad happening are so small, you really have to put it to the back of your mind.
I definitely don't believe in any bad omens for pregnancy. Think of it this way: the magazines aren't going to sell if they write on the cover "Woman Successfully Delivers Baby!!" They're going to sell by having the article "Woman's Tragic Baby Loss".
Negativity in the media means nothing, don't worry about it hun!
I know that mothers are very in tune with their children even before birth. Just a few days before I had Kassidy (at 32 weeks) I had a very vivid dream...I was in the hospital with my sister and I was pouring blood, the baby came out and her umbillical cord was all messed up and strange looking. At that time, I had no idea anything was wrong. I got toxemia and delivered by emergency c-section. While I was in recovery the doctor came out and explained she had "vilamentus insertion...deformaty of the umbillical cord and that it was barely attached and that if I'd gone into labor..it would have become detached during contractions and she would have drowned in the blood and I would have hemorraged! My mom still had my drawing in her purse and showed it to him. He said he wasn't suprised because he'd seen many women have premonitions that were right on the money..
Sorry hun..thought I was supposed to answer honestly...I don't really think of my dream as an "omen"..just intuition or insight. I didn't mean to rob her of feeling secure..I'm a firm believer in paying attention to gut feelings and the such.
