Hello, and questions on bearing children

[katey]

Hello all,

I've just spent a few hours reading Erin's fantastic blog and browsing though everyone's forum contributions. It's so wonderfully engaging and interesting!
As a newbie, I hope you don't mind me launching straight into a question, or rather asking for your thoughts.

I'm 28, married and have no children yet. I have always imagined the children I would have, and when I met my husband I found out that he had the same vision, so to speak. Both hubby and I have no brothers or sisters.

About 18 months ago, my Mum and her friend were at a crystal/new age store. Mum sat outside (across a wide corridor, not visible from the store counter), while the friend went inside. The lady at the counter noticed that the friend had a spirit with her, and described the friend's son who had tragically died a few years earlier.

The store lady then said "oh, there's a baby here - the message is for the lady sitting outside". They both called my Mum, and the message was along the lines that the child was meant to be born but there had been health problems that delayed it, but the child would probably 'appear' by the end of 2007. Being her only child Mum took the message as being for me, although I haven't fallen pregnant and have women's health issues.

My mum has since dreamt of 2 children for me, a girl and a boy. She is currently going through a spiritual transformation so takes this as being a message.

Also, at a reading with a Medium late last year he said briefly, in talking about the many spirits around Mum and I, "oh, there's a baby"... but took it maybe as one miscarried or born long ago to my great-grandparents. But I wondered if it was this same child appearing once again.

So... all these factors have been going around in my mind regularly for a long while now. I'm wondering why would the message be repeatedly coming? What would be the urgency of this child coming to Earth? What are the consequences of my health issues not being resolved quick enough for me to become a mother and bring this child into the world? Why me?!?!

I also worry about the child being one of the indigo children, which I've heard are very boisterous and strong willed. It concerns me that the child could be troublesome to deal with...

I'm just really wondering what other people think, and if this kind of thing has happened to other people. If it has, have you had the child yet and what has the outcome been like? I'm really fascinated to know!

Thanks so much, I hope this post isn't too long

I had to reply to this post. As I read it I could lots giggling coming from spirit and saw a liitle girltrying to cover her mouth to stop the giggles escaping. Don't worry, I get 'delightful' in a big banner above her. She's not on her own waiting. There's another child sitting with her. I see her putting her hands on either side of your face and turning your head so she can kiss you properly. Lots of little fluttery kisses. She's a gem. She'll tell you what she wants (I see her in a shop) but won't be too fussed if you choise something diffferent.
Good luck

Kids are only "troublesome to deal with" if you try to control them, don't listen to them, and don't honor their desires. Having an extremely strong-willed son has taught me SO much. Lots of parents get into trouble when they try to control their kids, rather than going with the flow that their kids present. It's a very different way to parent, but if you're open to it, it can bring you more joy, peace, connection, self-awareness and fulfillment than you've ever experienced.

Or, rather, it has for me! And lots of other folks who parent like I do.

Hi Katey,

First of all ... time does not exist on the spiritual plane, so don't think that any Soul is in a hurry to incarnate! The urgency you feel may be your own. Souls do choose their parents, so you may have one or two hovering around you now. This happens for every mother, by the way - you just may be more conscious of it. So don't think "Why me?" because this phenomenon is normal. Finally, remember that free will rules all - you don't have to have a baby if you're not ready or able yet.

All this means is that a few Souls have chosen you as a possible parent. Should you choose to wait, they will, too! And even should you choose not to have kids (although it sounds like you do!) that would be okay, too - the Souls would just find a different opportunity to incarnate.

All this to say - you have plenty of time to get into good health, so that you can have a peaceful and loving experience becoming a mother.

As to the kind of Soul that will come in - well, parenting is the ultimate leap of faith! Our children choose us - we don't choose them. However, a Soul that comes into our family will match our own vibration, so if we focus on our spiritual evolution and create lots of positive, peaceful energy in our lives, that's what we'll get.

I have a little spiritual power house in my 3-year old daughter. She's very high-energy and strong-willed, and it's great. She has her moments like any other toddler. I just love her independent spirit.

Take excellent care of yourself. Don't allow yourself to feel pressured or rushed - the spiritual realm does not work that way.

Thank you all so much for your responses, it's really put my mind at ease - and a smile on my face

Hi,

This was a wonderful thread to read. I have been wanting a baby myself ever since I got married (I am 23 - I know it is young but I would simply love to have my baby!) but so far no luck.

Each month I think I am pregnant and I almost hypnotise myself to having morning sickness (kind of) and what not, lol. And each month I get disappointed, of course. Sometimes I think I may be thinking too much of this but I can't help it - I have always loved kids and whenever I see a baby/child I am drawn to him/her.

I have had dreams in the past about having babies, but not of late. I just feel very attracted to little children.

I read Erin's post about going to the Criss Angel show, and about the abandoned baby spirit, and it was all I could do to hold my tears in. (I was at work then, and it wouldn't do if I started crying!) I still think of that baby and wonder what happened to it. I hope and pray that it has safely crossed over and reconnected to the Source.

So anyway, what I am trying to ask is, is there something in me that maybe blocking the arrival of a baby? I want a baby, my husband wants one - but somehow we aren't there yet There will be a baby in my future, right? And hopefully a sweet, loving, friendly, compassionate, courageous, intelligent soul? (Too much to expect huh? Maybe this is scaring the baby souls away but don't worry baby, I will teach you all this the best I can, and you Daddy is the most amazing person I have ever met, and he will raise you perfectly too! )

Peace,
Gayathri.
