Hey Selosmini,

This is not exactly the same thing (though I am a birthmother also.)

But when my eldest raised daughter was 19 I found out that I was pregnant!! I had given up years before on conceiving a child and then...Wow! Here I am pregnant again! I actually fainted! True story!!! I had been telling myself and friends that I just "had the flu"!! LOL!!

You know what? It was tough - as far as my fears went. I kept wondering if after all those years I would be able to love another child as wholly and completely as I loved my daughter (Plus the residual grief of years from my son and daughter's placement.)

But after my youngest daughter was born, it was like she'd always been there!! I laugh now wondering what I was so afraid of.

It'll be okay sweetie! You can do this!! It might be scary but that's all right; you're simply being human - just like the rest of us! Shoot, how many people walk to the alter terrified and then once they're married, they can't remember what their problem was in the first place!

:-) Hugs to ya! :-)
