I was looking back at some of the old thread and must have missed your one reply. I grow more and more scared the closer I got to the due!!!! I would seriously cry everyday. It wasn't to hard to hear Kemp has autism. I know that probably sounds wierd but Kemp was so dificult and different for awhile that it made sense to hear he was atistic. I wish I could say the pariond feeling goes away but it doesn't. I still am at times with my daughter. I get nerveous cause she doesn't like to play with other babies her age. If my oldest friends try to pick her up and kiss her she starts to fuss. I know that she isn't autistic or I feel she isn't. Kemp by her age we just knew something wasn't right. even the family started to notice little things. Kemp is hfa and probably to most people that don't know about atism probably couldn't tell he was. Is this pregnancy different then your first? Is this a planned pregnancy? My last one wasn't at all!!! The dr said I could not have any more????!!! And Soph came along. Take care.

You're Welcome. I just wish I had someone to talk too that understood me during that time. I didn't know Kemp was autistic when I was pregant. I knew nothing really of autism. Noone ever said ya he isn't "normal". I knew my mom and dad knew he just wasn't "right". But the fear I had that I might have a baby like Kemp just scared me beyond belief. I was so in love with Soph before she was born but yet so scared. I too noticed a difference between pregnancies. My first daughter was active but normal active Kemp's pregnancy was very different he didn't like loud music I use to use those baby mosart tapes and put headphones on my stomach for my the first preg. tried it with Kemp and he would kick so hard that it would really hurt and other things were different about it too. But my last preg. was so smooth, Soph would just hung out. I will pray everything works out for you and you are right when you said god will only give you what you can handle.Good luck!!!!
