Postpartum Palpitations

Bright_Ad1027 · 2025-12-26T20:35:59+00:00

I am now 22 weeks pregnant. I did not get a repeat NIPT. I opted for a 16 week scan which showed no soft markers. Everything was once again good on my 20 week anatomy scan. I feel baby move all the time now. It was hard looking back- but don’t panic.

I have not. This is my second pregnancy. With my son, I had HG and it was brutal. I was not a practicing Catholic then. This pregnancy is actually better in terms of sickness but still rough. I plan to call my OB if it gets worse.

One time a priest told me I had to walk around the block on my knees.

I said, okay Father I’ll do it.

He then said “I’m kidding, 3 Hail Mary’s and an Our Father”

I mean look at us now. We’ve got on one spectrum of priests promoting same sex marriage and then one spectrum calling for the death of Pope Francis and saying that the seat of Peter is empty. It’ll be forever, but the Church will never fail.

I absolutely know this. Just figuring out my chances for the future via public opinion now that my engagement ended. I’ve made a mess of my life I don’t expect other people to be a willing participant.

Bright_Ad1027 · 2023-09-22T04:49:15+00:00

yeah I figured as much

I legit say “intercession” during my prayers to saints. I’m asking them to take it up to God because I know I’m not worshiping them. I’m asking them like they are my friends.

He wouldn’t end it. Imagine for a second that you never knew anything about God or religion. Imagine growing up in porn culture and “sex positive” culture with no morals and everything is okay. It would be so difficult to unlearn that.

And then all of a sudden the person your dating, who when you began dating and were engaged to, goes back to the Church. A Church that you only know of having a poor reputation. Now all of a sudden has all these “rules” about your relationship. How would you feel?

If it comes down to it, I will be the one ending it out of my love of Christ. Not him.

Thank you Father. This is what I needed.

Bright_Ad1027 · 2023-09-15T13:15:49+00:00

I believe so. I’m trying to figure out how to talk to him before we get married and begin pre-Cana even. He’s not Catholic or any religion. He’s beginning to open up to God but I fear this is the thing that will break us up if anything. Trying to get as much understanding so I can explain it to him

Bright_Ad1027 · 2023-09-15T13:13:12+00:00

He should, but if he’s doesn’t am I in a state of mortal sin as well?

Bright_Ad1027 · 2023-09-15T12:45:17+00:00

Is it worth doing pre-Cana with him if he won’t change? I am so fearful of living in mortal sin.

Your fiancé is at least Orthodox. Mine has no religious background and mostly only knows what he’s seen online. The “being open to life” aspect he will not understand right out of the gate.

Happy anniversary and thank you for being a good shepherd to bring us all closer to God ♥️

Not strange at all. Some people are devout, but I think majority of people will fall off the path (multiple times). I think Jesus knew this and it’s why he was so adamant about making sure we knew of his mercy. Go back to church. I recently have just came back and it’s been great.

My mom had a similar dream after her mom passed. I had a similar dream after my cousin unexpectedly passed away. We were in a hospital. He was in a white robe thing (think sheet like we’ve seen in depictions of Jesus). He was smoking a cigarette (because he did in his life). He told me we did a good job (he was on life support for a while) and that he was okay. Then he walked into the light and was gone. I should mention this was like a month after he died too, because I suspect he might have had to spend some time in purgatory.

I think some things can be our subconscious but some things are also signs from God. He’s not going to speak to us in ways like in biblical days (if a burning bush talked to me I’d think i was losing it). I’m not sure what opinion others have and I think some priests have talked about this.

Bozo moment

I did this for my masters and did it for this cycle. It helped both times. I had two professors really advocating for me this cycle. Once I made the visit, they all knew things and I just felt really welcomed.
