You do know it is true, how you are feeling while you are pregnant will have an effect on the personality of your child? If you are happy, your child will be a happy child, but if you are sad and dwell on sadness, your child will inherit these traits.I know go ahead and say BULL &**%! Try to stay positive and focus on happy things for your little girls sake! She will bring so much happiness to you. There is too much sadness, depression and ugliness inthis world already, and this is something you can control! One more month and you will be a Mommy.........I was too 23 years ago and from a voice of experience, I miss those years..............I was in oyur boat, but I chose to row like hell and not allow the boat to sink! You have lots of believers in you....hang in there grilfriend, you're gonna be just fine! Oh, congrats on getting the armoire together!

I'm not being rude but my sister-in-law was very stressed out and not happy through her pregnancy at all because of alot of thing that was going on and she had a very happy baby girl. She is two now and all she does is smile. So that is not true. If you are not happy it will not affect your child at all.

thank you bamagirl

fairy godmother, ive been trying not to feel this way, but when everything in you life seems to all be going wrong at once its kinda hard to actualy be happy, its easy to pretend, but all the pretend in the world wont make it real

ive known a few people who have had a lot of stress and had perfectly fine babies (hell i knew someone who was in jail most of their pregnancy then on house arrest for the rest and still had a perfectly wonderful baby

i know you probably didnt mean it to, but you post made me just feel worse about myself, telling someone who is having a hard time that they need to be happy or their child will suffer, does not help at all

Alicia .Don't sweat it. With raging hormones a pregnant woman can go from laughing hysterically to crying, to screaming mad in a flash. It happens to the best of us. If our moods during pregnancy determined the mood of our babies, there would be lots of crying in the world.
I'm sure your baby will be a happy sweet little doll.
Great job on putting that stuff together. You have more patience than I.

Good luck

Alicia, I never meant for you to take my words the wrong way. I was merely trying to get you out of the slump you are in. I all too well know what depresssion is, as I was diagnosed over 30 years ago. And yes, I am on meds to "pretend" to be a happy person. Actually, most of the time I dont allow myself to "feel" anything. Please don't feel bad about yourself and please forgive me if what I wrote caused you more soorow. This was never my intentions. Hugs????????????

mommy (grr i know your name, i know i do, i just cant think of it, i wanna say it starts with a t, but at the same time i dont think so, bleh sorry), thanks, it would honestly suck if your emotions had that drastic of an effect on your baby...and yeah, i love building things, i have a lot of patiance when it comes to stuff like that, other things i dont have nearly enough patiance for however lol

fairy godmother, i know you didnt mean it like that, its ok, i know you were trying to be helpful, just when your in a rut its really easy to take things the wrong way and end up feeling worse

~alicia~
