[quote=Anonymous]OP, kicking GD's ass is not a small victory. That's a great thing for you and your baby!

I feel you on having a hard time deferring an emotional reaction right now. It seems extremely unreasonable to expect you to defer a reaction until you know what reaction to have. You are reacting to the uncertainty, the flip-flopping, the confusion. I imagine it would be triggering every time, working hard to find an equilibrium only to have it smashed with every ultrasound.

It seems like it might be helpful to be in touch with the psychological resources NOW, not after the baby comes. What do you think of that?

I think it is really unfair that everyone (husband, doctors) is expecting you to table your reaction until the baby gets here. It is obviously a really different situation, but if you found out during your 20 week ultrasound that your baby had a genetic condition that would result in profound special needs, you'd be connected with a counselor to process that right away. Why is that not happening for you now?[/quote]
