Hi Leah, I am so glad you found someone that was helpful and supportive so that you can work through all of the issues. I am glad that you contacted the CPC there! We will do whatever we can to support you here, but there is nothing like having someone physically there to be with you when needed. :)

You have no idea how relieved I am for you. I was concerned that an abortion would make your situation worse and not better overall, so I am glad that you were able to work through some of that.

Journaling is a great idea. I've always found it helpful, especially when I am stressed about anything. It also sometimes helps to write down things that are going right so that when I can see the forest for the trees so to speak. :)

I've also found that in addition to the breathing, etc., anxiety in me seems to come from not feeling one has control over anything in their life, and doing anything to change that no matter how small seems to help a great deal. I don't know if that makes sense to you or what works for you, but that helps me.

Anyway, I am really, really, happy for you now. I hope that you will be able to enjoy the rest of the pregnancy overall.

Do definitelly stay in touch!! :)

Leah,

That's so AWESOME! And that a woman from Italy wrote! What a blessing! We prayed really hard for you!

Congratulations, Mom! Keep on talking to your baby. Soon, you will feel movement. And you can play games. I used to push on a foot when I felt one, for example. Your baby will also enjoy good music, peaceful, melodic. I took our oldest to a concert before he was born, and he loved it! He has loved good music ever since. And sing to your baby as well.

Keep in touch. We would love to hear how you are doing, and uplift you when you need it.

Hugs,
Pat
