A palm reader once told me...

Froggy76 · January 2011

that I would be pregnant many times but never bear a child. This was when I was in high school- so about 13 years ago. I didn't think much of it at the time (although it was a horrible thing for her to say) and I forgot about it for years.

Now that I've had a loss, I think about it everyday, and I wonder if I'm just going to go through this again and again and again.

I know this sounds so stupid. I don't normally even believe in this stuff. Just needed to share...

No - not stupid at all! I think many of us have the fear of this happening again. I'm so sorry she told you that, and I pray that she had it wrong!

Well, I don't think it's stupid, but I wouldn't put much stock into it. Don't let one palm reader (because how many are reputable anyway, if any) dictate your attitude about baby making.

I had my palm read once too. She told me i'd have a tall son, small daughter, and a miscarriage. She kind of covered everything so that was pretty convenient for her. . . She had a couple of other things right though.

Aw, I know how you feel. That wasn't a nice thing for her to spring on you. But, I wouldn't put too much stock in it. She could be wrong. I do believe in plenty of "out there" stuff but that doesn't mean she's right. I've seen/heard my share of "psychics" and palm readers and I'll tell you that not all (or even most) of them are accurate or even real. I had one palm reader tell me I'd have two children. I guess only time will tell.

I just got invited to a "palm reading" party being held in a couple weeks. The lady who is holding it is older, very practical (read: farmer) and is having it only because she met the palm reader and he blew her away (her words) with his information. My DH thinks its silly I'm even going but I plan on it, mostly because it's fun and I will most definitely be listening when he talks about children. I'm a little afraid to hear what he has to say...

Something similar happened to me, it was after college so about 6 years ago. I don't believe in any of that stuff and I completely brushed it off until after my loss last week. Now its all I can think about...
