It's felt like a lifetime...

I'm so happy to have finally reached 20 weeks, the half way point. Which for me personally means i have 18 weeks to go due to being induced at 38 weeks. It has felt like a real roller coaster getting to this point and i'm hoping things will settle down now. I have been in and out of hospital which has added to my already ridiculously anxious pregnancy, previously i have suffered a stillbirth and 2 misscarriages but on the other hand my last pregnancy was a beautifully healthy girl who is now 2. I'm actually starting to get abit excited now which i normally try not to which is silly but just my way of coping i surpose. So just congratulations to all you ladies really for getting to halfway and looking, especially though's who are expecting there rainbow baby xxx

"Rainbow Babies" is the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. When a rainbow appears, it doesn't mean the storm never happened or that the family is not still dealing with its aftermath. What it means is that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy and hope.

21Weeks and freak out realizing i am more than halfway through the pregnancy. I was not aware i was pregnant until 12 weeks and have had some major obstacles to feel healthy and confident.. Baby boy is healthy and that is my biggest comfort

Absolutely @pregwith3rd786. It's so hard. You feel robbed of the whole pregnancy experience. It's such a worry but so worth it in the end.xx

I hear you! I'll be 20 weeks on friday, and I HATE it when people say things like, "omg! It's ALREADY at the  halfway point?? Look at how fast time is going by!" I just want to be like "yeah for YOU!!" Lol. Time has not gone by as fast for me! I can't wait for October to get here so I can meet my baby already! :)
