Comments on: Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Baby? Part I http://katiebonn.com/2010/03/03/whos-afraid-of-the-big-bad-baby-part-i/ A whole lot of insignificant prattle Sat, 19 May 2012 03:19:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: *kate http://katiebonn.com/2010/03/03/whos-afraid-of-the-big-bad-baby-part-i/comment-page-1/#comment-141727 *kate Thu, 29 Apr 2010 18:30:52 +0000 http://katiebonn.com/?p=239#comment-141727 <p>Hey Katie - This is Katie Krebs (now Peck) from high school. Anyhow, I was reading through your blog and I just wanted to say how much I could relate. I was riddled with anxiety when I was pregnant. We planned our pregnancy, but I spent so much time worrying about being a mom, and thinking maybe I had made a big mistake. I have never been diagnosed with depression, but I was very worried about post-partum depression, etc. Just because I know how I am and that I tend to get extremely overwhelmed.</p> <p>Anyway, while I'm not going to lie and say that it wasn't the craziest adjustment of my life, I will say that now that we are adjusted, I'm pretty excited to be pregnant again someday. I feel like now that I know I can do it, I'll be able to sit back, relax, and truly appreciate the pregnancy for how amazing it all is. </p> <p>I think you're steps ahead of me in that you are getting therapy and know you have that to rely on. You'll do great!</p> Hey Katie – This is Katie Krebs (now Peck) from high school. Anyhow, I was reading through your blog and I just wanted to say how much I could relate.

Anyway, while I’m not going to lie and say that it wasn’t the craziest adjustment of my life, I will say that now that we are adjusted, I’m pretty excited to be pregnant again someday. I feel like now that I know I can do it, I’ll be able to sit back, relax, and truly appreciate the pregnancy for how amazing it all is.

I think you’re steps ahead of me in that you are getting therapy and know you have that to rely on. You’ll do great!

There are organized activities for the kids, but more importantly, there are organized activities for the moms. It can be a very nice support network.</p> One thing to think about is joining a local mom’s group.

My deep worries are similar to yours. Would I be able to make it through the pregnancy off my meds? What about postpartum depression? Those are my real fears.

The more mundane fears have to do with the upheaval in my life that would come with having a baby. I know in the back of my head, though, that everybody works through it, and there would be rewards to compensate what I might lose.
