Thank you so much, Jemima, I really appreciate the article and your willingness to share your experience.

As a 5 months pregnant woman with a very fast growing baby, I can relate to your article in so many ways: the same uncertain feeling about the point of no return, the same fear of THAT painful moment, the same lacking a mother figure, the same situation of no friends to discuss or consult… The fear strikes the most when the discomfort attacks, and I have to deal with it by myself, not sure if it’s common or I’m the only weirdo.

Your article helps me relieve the fear. It’s still there, but I feel a bit more courage in me. After all, you are fine, and you even got pregnant and went through it again. Maybe it’s gonna be fine for me, too. Maybe after all, I’ll be able to handle it and won’t have that fear again.

Thank you.
