[quote=Anonymous]With my first I felt terrified and guilty. Didn't know I was pg so was drinking no folic acid and got Botox for first time the week he was conceived. He appears to be fine but still I worry and feel guilty. Number two was full term but very low birthweight ---my ped said that she was like a 35 weeker , healthy but small and sleepy, --and I beat myself up for working a ton including travel at 35 weeks, not eating well,eating soft cheese, getting food poisoning and losing lots of weight, being an older mom etc. there is noevidence I did anything wrong and dd seems fine so far but I do carry around guilt that I didn't take enough care of her when I was pregnant. I thonk this anxiety id compounded in the early weeks too...esp when you are not sleeping and looking for signs that something is wrong. But she is here now and I do my best to love and nurture her.

Plus 35 weekers  do great!!!!! Try to let go of the past, as you have a lifetime to continue questioning whether you are doing the right thing by your kids and worry about the unknowns---it doesn't really end so all you can do is love them. [/quote]
