  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Some women I know love being pregnant. I enjoyed experiencing it and feeling so connected to God energy. I always felt one pregnancy experience was enough for me. I always looked forward to parenting. I really love and enjoy being a mother and parenting my child. It is fascinating watching human development unfold (I have a secret anthropologist side to me...hehe).

Anyway, lately, I have been really missing the feeling of a human growing inside my womb. I have had pregnancy dreams often and I keep "feeling" flutters inside me (although I am definitely NOT pregnant). I suppose this is what I needed to get motivated to drop my last 15 pounds of weight gain from my first pregnancy.

Just wanted to express that.

rainbowbright, I would love to be blessed with 5 children. Can you imagine what holidays will be like when they are all grown with mates and children? Do you watch Brothers & Sisters? That's what I think of but of course with a Godly twist.

Ahh...the flutters. I'm still "feeling" flutters and I know that I'm not pregnant. How weird is that?

Yes I can imagine, it's one reason I have always been so open to having a large family. I've never seen 'Brothers and Sisters' I only get basic cable which includes absolutely nothing. I'm just so afraid I'm not going to be able to raise all of my kids in the church the right way since I have to do it alone, but I'm still trudging on, if a bit slow.

If you mean that you don't have a religious hubby ,then I am right with you there!
I love being pregnant!! I am at the stage where I hear people say they can't wait for the baby to be born (other pregnant people) and I keep thinking, nah, I can wait, I love being pregnant too much!

I love the flutters! Even though sometimes he really gets a spot that hurts! It is still beautiful!

Yes, my husband has decided to ditch God but he still wants to claim himself Orthodox. I have a hard enough time going to church since I have to drive 45 minutes to get there. He even refuses to step inside a church to help me out.

Oh, I had no idea. I am sorry to hear of this . Is there no one you could car pool with or possibly bring along a mother's helper of some sort (paying her like $4 an hour)? You must be an amazing woman to manage the spiritual responsibility of your family including yourself while incubating a human being!!! That is the definition of a saint that we never get to read about in the Church history.

I could do without being pregnant again..... but I suspect this isn't our last baby even though I am sick of pregnancy.....

Well, being that it has been 3 years since I have experienced it, the memory is beginning to fade a bit. I imagine if I had pregnancies close together and never having a chance to distance myself from the experience, I would have a different opinion myself. Are you in your third trimester yet?

The other thing though is could it be that my nerve sensations in my uterus are returning? (I had a C) That seems like an awfully long time for it to heal.

Thanks MsDahl. I know I'm doing a horrible job with my own spirituality, but it's nice to know I'm doing okay from someone else. I'll have to try to find someone I could have watch the kids, that's a wonderful idea.

Leanna,
I know I'll be thinking the same as you at the very end of my pregnancy b/c I am so utterly miserable at the end that right after I have the baby, I always get rid of my maternity clothes, thinking that I am completely DONE!!!, but I am apparently a serial mom b/c after two years, my being 'done' feeling is completely gone. I'm assuming you're in you last trimester.
