Kinda sad story
I lost my dad 8 years ago when I was 19 was the saddest time of my life and I miss him so much I think about him everyday. Ever since I found out I was pregnant I keep having dreams of my dad we are always talking and I am always telling him how much I miss him. Every time I wakeup from these dreams I am always crying and very sad. My mom says I dream about my dad because its a new chapter in my life and im missing him in my life. I believe its true I really wish my dad would know my baby. Idk just these dreams have me feeling sad like Im starting to feel depressed what should I do?
My dad died febuary 4th of this year and I was 16weeks pregnant at the time. I have suffered depression since. Every day I think about him and how excited he was to be a grandparent and now my baby wont get to meet his grandfather. It hurts and I dont think the pain of losing him will ever go away but it will get easier.
I am naming my son Caden Isaiah Lynn, my dads middle name is Lynn so I feel like my boy will carry a part of his grandfather and that means alot to me. Just remember it will be ok, show your baby lots of pictures and tell him/her lots of stories so your child will know how important his grandpa is

My dad passed away almost 10 years ago. He died 1week to the day of my wedding. I bought a necklace that was kinda like a frendship neclace that has 2 parts. One side I put with him the other I have with me. I wore that neclace durring my wedding and a few times after durring special moments, since it was my way of having part of him with me. Now i am 16 weeks along with triplets and If I have any boys, my first born will be named after him.I know its hard but just remember he is around you and he will be there when your baby is born.
I just lost my mom last month, on March 23, which was also my husband's birthday. My whole world has fallen apart. I have a 7½ year old son and she was practically his second mother and he's devastated, and I also have a 2 year old son. I wish my mom could have been around longer to get to know my younger son so that he could have memories of her. I'm really struggling with anger, depression, and grief right now.
I just wanted to tell you two things. You are so lucky you can dream about your dad and they are good dreams. I've only had one dream about my mom since she passed away and it was not a good dream--I watched her die again. I have not dreamed about her since then; that was about three weeks ago.
Secondly, maybe you can choose a name for your child that honors your father. My husband and I plan to have a third child probably sometime in the next year or two, and if it's a girl, we are going to name her after my mother. If we have another boy, I will probably choose a middle name (we already have a first name chosen) that has the same meaning as my mom's name.
My mom and I were very close. She was my best friend and also my mom. Cancer stole her life at the age of 55 and it's just not fair. I wanted to be my mom's age and still have my mom, like she does (my grandmother is still alive and very healthy), but I will never have that. I feel like one of my limbs has been amputated and I have to learn to function in a whole new way without yet being used to her being gone.
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope having your baby and your continuing dreams of your father bring you peace. God bless.

I'm in the very same situation as you are, i lost my Daddy almost 7 months ago and its horrible and now that I'm prego i miss him more and more every day, and i dream about him every night......its like a reoccurring nightmare for me
I agree with your mom. You father held your baby before you did and your father is with you every minute during this life changing event. Your baby will be able to see your fathers presence even when you can only feel it. Take comfort in knowing that even though your still knows his grandfather because he lives through you everyday. May God bless you and your family.
My grandfather passed away may 12 last year ( he raised me so to me he's.my dad) in the beginning I had dreams about him and would wake up balling my eyes out. Even tho my dreams have nothing to do with my baby I still look at it as him telling me he's still here and knows that im having a baby! It helps alot.
My dad died june 1st last year. I miss him so much. Im almost afraid of delivery day bc I know I'm going to miss him so much. I know my mom will too. Meanwhile I'd give anything to have a dream where he was talking. He's only been silent in the few I've had about him.
My mom passed away before I had any children. And my belief is that she knows all of my children & she knew them before I did:) but ur dad has touched ur child & when baby if born, always show pictures of ur dad, so his grandchild will know how special grandpa was.
My mom made me feel a little better by telling me my baby was first held by my dad and that hes known my baby before me
I lost my father when i was 18...hes been gone 19 years...(im 37) this baby is due on the day he passed away...kinda weird. It doesnt really get any easier with time...i still feel cheated and it kills me that my two year old and now this baby will never have gotten to meet or know him...365 days in a year...and my due date is the day he passed. kinda makes me feel like he's with me...but makes it hard at the same time...
I just had my son 3weeks ago and the whole time I was in labor I cried because I was thinking of my daddy:-( my dad passed in 2006 and Im kinda bitter towards the fact that he met his other grandchildren but he will never get to meet my son so yea I know exactly what ur going through when I felt depressed while pregnant I just thought of my son and that always made me happy and now that he's here I just look at him and it makes me feel complete:-)
Pregnancy dreams can be very vivid. I'd dream something would happen to my partner and I'd have to raise my child by myself and it would break my heart.
Maybe before going to sleep think how happy he must be that your having a child and know someone close is watching over you and your little one.
Instead of thinking how much you miss him think about all the things you'd want to tell him if he was here.
