i'm having a very strong intuition...

[Aura_Kitten]

... and i'm not sure how to deal with it.

a few months after the birth of my daughter i was hit was a sense of intuition ~ that i would have another baby, he would be a little boy, and something would be "wrong" (that he'd die in utero, be stillborn, or die shortly after birth).

i've been trying to brush it off, but this feeling just keeps growing. it wouldn't be the first time i had precognition of a future event (i saw the pregnancies, births, and faces of both my children years before i had them).

this worry is getting so huge, i've been contemplating getting sterilized just so i can stop worrying about it, or if i do have more kids, having them @ a hospital "just in case." at the same time, i feel completely irrational.

please tell me i'm not alone. i'm not even pregnant but i'm so worried it's actually kept me awake at night lately.

I don't know what to tell you. Everything happens for a reason. I've predicted a few things too. Like when Dan rolled his truck and that Toronto would lose to Philly 3-2 in overtime! Listen to your mind and body and do what's best for you.

I've had similar fears both before and after the pregnancies. I think it's very normal. I had this awful dream once when I was pg with Abi that I was bathing her in the kitchen sink and somehow her leg went down the garbage disposal. It was so graphic and so awful and horrifying that I never gave her a sink bath.

With Nitara I felt there would be something wrong with her and she did end up having severe reflux that ended up with her on a feeding tube. But she's just fine other than feeding problems, and she's going to grow up normal and healthy someday.

I also had a very strong intuition that Abi was a boy and that was totally wrong. I think sometimes intuition is true, and sometimes it's just a way for our minds to deal with fears that we hold deep inside.

awww!
Intuition is a wonderful thing. Premonisions are something not everyone has the pleasure of encountering, rather they are good bad or indiffent. Trust your feeling are true, never doubt yourself. If you believe this next child woud result in loss, why do you think it is? Perhaps there is a valuable lesson to be learned. Rather it be in your own personal growth, your husbands, or any other family/friends. I am a TRUE believer in "everything happens for a purpose in life, there is a lesson to be learned". What is it the universe/God wants you to learn from this occourance? This is not to say you will not have a perfectly healthy baby that lives a long productive life. If you do get 'sterilized' and do not allow this child to come to you, how will you ever know? Will you then spend the rest of your life questioning your actions and wondering "what if?"? You never know unless you try. A big thing to remember in every day life as well as the hard times is.. YOU NEVER RECIEVE MORE THEN YOU CAN HANDLE!! I know (from experience) there are many things in peoples lives that they do not think they are strong enough to deal with, or do not believe they have (before the occourence) strength or skills to make it through such a sorrowful event.
I wish you the best of luck hon!

Follow your gut and do what helps you feel good. I think it's always good to have a think about what such a feeling may symbolise as well as it's literal meaning, yk?
Hugs and sympathy to you

I just wanted to say I totally agree with JanetF. I found that after having my first baby I had a rush of info nothing as specific to me as yours more about world events... what i find interesting is that my niece just had her first and had a similar experience. I had a dear friend and neighbor who was probably one of the most profoundly accurate psychics and she would keep a journal and a dream journal every day she said the hardest thing was to stay on-top of was your own changing symbology(sp). She talked about a man she was previously dating and how he was envisioning earthquakes on the road to her house--- it was the split between them that was coming and not true earthquakes at least not yet 18 yrs later.
