seriously stressed


the last couple of days and the next few days are some of the most stressful days I've had.  my grandfather died two days ago and yesterday I had an ultrasound to find out my baby girl only gained 2 ounces. my grandfathers wake is Saturday and I'm being induced Sunday night.  my boyfriend's sister says it's my fault the baby isnt growing.  I cannot stop thinking that it's my fault if something is wrong with her.  also I plan on breastfeeding but I have only lactated twice does this mean I won't be able to breastfeed? any words of encouragement from you other moms or advice? or your stories about being induced and how long it took for your little one to arrive. today I'm 38 weeks also a first time mom.

You r doing fine, you r gokg t hough difficult time right now. Your friends and family should be standing behind u. If u r being induce don't worry about the wt gain it will happen when your baby is born. Try to take care of yourself as much as u can. Eat even  if u don't feel like and u will have a little one soon. Your milk will come in don't worry and if not it is not your fault sometimes that happens and u will have other options.Take care
