Pregnancy Info HOME

Whoa, hold on there! I'm not attacking anyone. Let me explain a little more. I had two babies with fatal birth defects before I had my son. Then I went on to have a healthy child, and I have another healthy child on the way. Speaking as someone who has actually had something wrong with my child, I can tell you that IF, GOD FORBID, anything were to happen to the children of any of the ladies on this thread, they would most likely beat themselves up. I know I did. I questioned whether it was the beer or cigs I had before I knew I was pregnant. I questioned whether it was my morning cup of coffee. I questioned whether it was my face soap, my bath temperature, my job stress -- everything. I know how it feels to be that 1 out of 1,000, and it's not fun. I'm not judging anyone. I'm just saying that fortunately you and your family have been the ones in the majority -- the ones who've come out healthy despite everything. My babies were on the other side. And please, let me clarify, I am in no way saying that it was definitely cigarettes that caused my sons' problems. However, when something like that happens, you do tend to question everything you did "wrong." That's all I'm saying.
