PGAL Mantras

MissPrint1219 · July 2016

I know we all get in our own heads sometimes, so I thought I'd bring back the mantras we used to have stickied on the PGAL boards of the past :-)

Today I am pregnant and I love my baby.

I am pregnant until someone tells me otherwise.

My past does not dictate my future. A previous m/c does not mean I will have another m/c.

Just because something sad is happening to another poster, does not mean it will happen to you. We all know m/c and complications are not contagious!

Hope does not make bad things happen. You cannot jinx your pregnancy by creating a ticker, getting excited, or telling someone. Live in the positive!

There is nothing I can do to prevent a m/c from happening. Worrying yourself sick doesn't prevent a m/c. And if (God forbid) it were to happen again, I know I will survive

I've been telling myself

THIS is a DIFFERENT pregnancy. THIS is a DIFFERENT child, with a DIFFERENT chance at a DIFFERENT start. And I will love THIS child for as long as he or she lives!

I really like yours @chrstna618!

for my first rainbow pregnancy, I was anxiety ridden. My mantra was 'this baby deserves a calm, relaxed, zen mama.' I would get anxiety attacks on the way to my appts, especially early on, so I would repeat this over and over as I drove there and in the waiting room to center myself.

This deserves a bump!

The RE told us that we had a 30% chance of m/c with each pregnancy. I chose to tell myself we had a 70% chance of success. It may not have any real effect but positive thinking helped my stress level in the beginning. 70>30! The odds are in my favor!
