This is one thing that has been weighing on my heart lately. This spring when I miscarried I knew something was wrong. Now you may ask, what are thinking, you're crazy, but I promise I'm really not. So here's what happened....
When I first found out I was pregnant I read everything I possibly could to be informed and educated with what was going on with me and the baby growing inside of me. Everytime I would read something about miscarriage a little light bulb would go off in my head, and I would have a little voice in my head saying "you're going to be a statistic". I know it sounds crazy but these thoughts would come at the most random times when I was at work, eating dinner, whenever.
It all came to a head when I was over at my parents house right around 12 weeks. My mom said "well why don't you start telling people". I turned to my stepdad and said " I just feel like something is wrong". He said "oh no, you're fine". Well, 3 days later I miscarried. So my point in all this is TRUST YOUR INSTINCT!!! It is never wrong!!! Now, I don't blame myself for not running straight to the doctors office or anything like that, but now I know what those random thoughts were and I know to listen to them in the future. So the posint of this post is to ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS listen to your intuition!!!
Happy Wednesday!

Long time reader, first time poster. I unfortunately know exactly what you are talking about. When we told my family we were pregnant, everything felt wrong about telling them (something I can’t put into words now). I even told my husband after that I didn’t want to tell anyone else that we were pregnant and I had no idea what was about to happen to us. So, I do not think you’re “crazy.” It’s amazing what our intuition can tell us…
Were you guys featured on The Nest? I got an email with a girl who had a dress almost identical to yours with the same name. The internet is a smaller world than we think sometimes.
P.S. Great post, as I truly believe in trusting your instinct, too.
Im sorry that you had to go through that. We are trying to have a baby and miscarriage scares the mess out of me! Best of luck!
I know what you are talking about-not about being pregnant-but about trusting your instinct. Sometimes I get thoughts at the most random times-almost foreshadowing.
