I hope you're all doing well. mrstilly on "Do you think about your LO dying?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-about-your-lo-dying#post-315493 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 12:05:44 +0000 mrstilly 315493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I do now and then, and like PPs, I have to push the thoughts out of my head. I cannot imagine losing DS. A few months ago DS choked, and while I was able to get the piece of food out, I started worrying a lot about what would happen if I couldn't. How fast would an ambulance arrive, would he die in my arms, etc... Then last weekend DS had a febrile seizure and it was the most awful experience ever. My MIL was with him outside and rushed in into the house. At first he wasn't breathing and I thought he was choking. I was beside myself with panic about trying not to let him die until I heard his breathing. Then the panic from the other signs of the seizure sunk in (eyes rolling back, unresponsive, stiff). Since then it's been awful. I try to replace the thoughts about him dying with gratitude that he is healthy and totally okay after the seizure, but it takes effort.

I thought I would be less neurotic with my second kid, but I still peek in and make sure she's still breathing before I go to bed at night. I just can't even think of what I would do if something happened to one of them. I read the "ebing a mom" blog when I was like six months pregnant with my younger daughter and it was right around the time her son finally passed. I just bawled my eyes out. I can't even imagine going through that. And then I just worried about my baby being born with a disease like that. I just don't even know how I would cope.

The sickening feeling I get is overwhelming... I just try to reroute that energy into positive thoughts, like how darn cute they are :) Running Elley on "Do you think about your LO dying?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-about-your-lo-dying#post-315464 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:55:19 +0000 Running Elley 315464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @MamaMoose: Same here. I'm 37 weeks pregnant and the fear of having a stillborn comes over me every day. I really have to fight it off. I'm not sure I could survive it.

I jsut have to push them out of my head. And I pray every single night for her health and safety MamaMoose on "Do you think about your LO dying?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-about-your-lo-dying#post-315420 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:33:41 +0000 MamaMoose 315420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My LO is still in the womb and I'm basically in a constant battle to push aside thoughts of having a stillborn. stargal on "Do you think about your LO dying?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-about-your-lo-dying#post-315381 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:16:25 +0000 stargal 315381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ ya i get really emotional when i see little kids that have life threating diseases, and thik about p having them and dying and it really really gets to me, i tear up just thinking about it.

It's just incomprehensible. chopsuey on "Do you think about your LO dying?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-about-your-lo-dying#post-315378 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:16:08 +0000 chopsuey 315378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have. Try not to though and I pray crazy hard for health and safety for my kids.

Then I force myself to stop as I can't bear to think about it for another second. mrbee on "Do you think about your LO dying?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-think-about-your-lo-dying#post-315351 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:05:56 +0000 mrbee 315351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ That <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS7JrI-JPOc">Taylor Swift song</a> got me all sad the other day, thinking about what I would do if our kids died. I don't even know what I would do... I don't know if I could survive it! Do you think about your LO dying?
