Superstition...

CeCe8579 · July 2013

Each grandchild that my mom and aunt have had comes with a superstition. Either my mom or aunt finds a marble in an odd place when they aren't looking for anything. With DD, My mom found a red cat's eye marble. No marbles for miscarriages. With my aunt's kids she found 6 blue marbles, one for each boy. My mom found a blue marble last week. My sister has a Mirena so I'm the only one trying. I'm not superstitious but wouldn't that be awesome??? I know, it's weird, haha!

Any superstitions in your family?

I love stuff like this! I hope that marble is destined for you : there aren't any superstitions in my family BUT my mom believes in psychics. She occasionally goes and sees one like once a year And her psychic saw me pregnant with my son. my mom didnt tell me at the time bc she was afraid he was seeing my very fertile friend but wouldn't ya know 6 months later :

My family is "super" superstitious too. My mom always gets phantom pregnancy symptoms whenever my sister or I were in our early stages of pregnancy. (My sister has 4 so my mom was constantly feeling it.. haha). When I was just weeks pregnant with my daughter, my mom called up and asked me if I was pregnant because her back was killing her like it did when she was pregnant with me. I felt bad lying but I didn't want to tell her over the phone!

Speaking of psychics, my mom went to one a while ago with her sister before my nephew's birthday party. When they came in, my aunt came right over and told my sister (who is trying to adopt her second) and me (TTC for almost 2 years now) that the psychic told my mom that she is done having grandkids and that she (my aunt) would be blessed with 3 more (which, incidentally, my cousin has kids from 3 different moms, great, thank you very much). My mom would have never said this to my sister or me, but my aunt I guess didn't realize what she said was so hurtful. It's haunted me ever since. I don't even know if I believe in psychics, and I keep trying to remind myself that GOD is in charge... but that negative voice in my head can't make that thought disappear.

Part of me wants to find another psychic and see if this is true...but I can't. I need to focus on faith!

In any case, I hope this is a good sign for you and a positive thought to carry you through this next cycle towards a bfp!

Hi MJC I hope my prior post didn't upset you. I have never seen/talked to a psychic myself. For 2 reasons: first I don't think anything is set in stone I believe we ultimately have the ability to choose our destiny/outcome. and the second reason is I like life's surprises ! and you're right faith is the most important of all. in fact my BFP with my son didnt come until I gave up the crazy ttc antics and just prayed.
But that's not to say give up or just relax. Please know that is NOT what I'm saying. I hate that advice lol! and I would never bestow the just relax advice on anyone! Haha.

MJC, don't let the psychic get to you, hugs!

Yesterday my good friend's MIL told me I was going to be pregnant soon. She knows our situation and has never said this. It wasn't in a sympathetic way, it was a very matter of fact tone. My friend said she told her that when she got pregnant with her son. It was creepy.

Also, my daughter just said she can't wait to have a baby brother. She knows nothing. It's all just coincidence I'm sure but it's really weird.

Not at all! I wasn't offended in the slightest... It just reminded me of that and I feel so ridiculous for letting it get to my head!!

Thanks for the support

My super close friend's mom asked me if I was pregnant, just before I found out I was. I was waiting to test on Monday, and saw her on Saturday. She said I just had a "glow". I keep hoping each time I see her that she'll say it again, and it'll be true.
