Pregnant after a Loss

Deep Thoughts (not by Stewart Handy)

Does anyone else remember the recurring SNL skit "Deep Thoughts"??

So, there's really no place else for this and since you ladies get all of the anxiety and whatnot that goes along with being PgAL, here is my deep thought for the day...

Being pregnant is terrifying. How anyone can do this multiple times - like Michelle Duggar! How can she deal?!! - is beyond me.

What's your deep thought?

  • i remember deep thoughts.  lol

    it is terrifying, and even putting aside the mental and emotional fears and turmoil, it's really hard physically (at least, i feel like it's hard...YMMV because everyone is different).  it's worth it though.  going at it duggar-style would NOT be worth it to me, but two kids are plenty as far as i'm concerned.

    A lot of the early pregnancy ladies on PAIF (pregnant after infertility), many of whom also have had losses, are also saying they don't think they can ever go through this again. (ESPECIALLY sober!!!) It's amazingly stressful.

    Here's my deep thought, which is a meditation on a paradox. My pants bother the hell out of me if they're buttoned, even with the rubber band trick, while I'm sitting down, yet fall off me standing up. How can this be???
    @pblge I had a similar issue with my underwear - then I bought maternity underwear and they are awesome!

  • @mmheartspb My belly button sticks out now.  It's this weird discolored bump surrounded by a giant saucer of darkish colored skin.  I find it really weird that it did that and I agree, skin is amazing.

    How is it that time seems to slow down more and more the closer I get to my EDD?  Things sped up through the 2nd trimester and now the 3rd has gotten slower and slower.

  • LOL I love this post. I've been having a crying day (happy tears, relieved tears, overly emotional tears) so this post made me cry because you guys are awesome.

    The Duggars are freaks. Just sayin'

    In other deep thoughts. Pumpkin pie is kind of like eating a vegetable, right? And ice cream is sort of like drinking milk.. So pie and ice cream for breakfast is pretty much vegetables and milk for breakfast.

    2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
