Jaune,

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I think I can totally relate to your situation. I was told that I could never conceive and if I did, I would spontaneously abort at 5-6 months. Nevertheless, when I found out that I was pregnant, I was in shock. Instead of feeling the happiness that most every other women feel, I felt depressed, hopeless, and helpless. I went into complete denial and stayed that way during the whole pregnancy. It was literally right before my son was born that I had finally reconciled with my pregnancy. Then, right after he was born, my husband and I didn't know what to do.

Anyway, it took several months for me to bond with my baby. I didn't know it but was experiencing post partum depression and finally figured out that something was wrong with me when he turned a year old. I stayed in post partum depression for about 3 yrs. It wasn't fun. Hopefully, you won't have this experience. I went undiagnosed as I didn't show the typical symptoms.

Look forward to seeing your pic.

Feel free to PM me if you'd like.

Lots of Huggs,
Peacemaker (Sherri)
