thinking you're still pregnant?

When I lost Sophia last year I was kind of in shock for weeks. None of it felt REAL. I had seen TV shows like "I didn't know I was pregnant" and some other thing where a woman had gotten pregnant WHILE pregnant with another baby, and I kept thinking, what if I got pregnant right after I gave birth? Or what if Sophia was a twin...

That might sound nuts to some of you, but some of you also understand. I spent months just begging and begging my boyfriend for a baby, or taking pregnancy tests over and over convinced I must be pregnant. Has anyone else gone through this?

Yeah, you sound a little off your rocker. Have you tried counseling....

SIKE! I'm here to admit that I had a dream my angel had a twin. In my dream, it was a month after my angel had passed (which would have made me close to 45 weeks pregnant!) and I went into labor and had another little girl. I was like, "See I knew she wasn't dead!" I was so excited, but then I realized that it was a different baby, my angel's twin. Then I became really sad that this baby didn't have her sister with her. Guess you could call me loopy too, but I think we get a pass after what we've been through.

it has been over a year since i lost Liam, and almost a year since I lost Aidan. I have taken almost 50 pregnancy tests. Some the day my period finished, some mi cycle, some right after the test before. Some in the morning, some at night, some in the bathroom at work. This feeling of urgency takes over and nothing will convince me im not until the test says no. and the one after says no. i dont know what to do. im starting to lose hope in the possibility of a living rainbow.

I'm glad I'm not the only with these feelings. I thought I was going crazy. Guess it is just our minds processing what is going with us.

Yelp! I would have dreams I delivered babies....

Just last night I dreamed I was being interviewed for that show and that I had a baby girl.....

For the longest I 'FELT' a baby kicking..... a little over a year later I still feel like I'm pregnant. AND I can't forget to tell you about the 6 months after having Jamiz the 100's of dollars I spent on pregnancy test both home and doctor blood test.

I think it's natural because we know we are suppost to HAVE a baby and well.... we don't. Not here with us to take care of I mean.
