Haunted by tarot card reading

[diddlysquat]

Here's a wierd thing. Just interested in other's views especially those of you of a more spiritual nature I guess. If it wasn't for it being a Friday night and me just drinking most of a bottle of red I probably wouldn't share this, but.

So DH came home tonight and shared that he would quite like another baby, actually specifically he would like a son, but says he would be delighted with another girl. I too have occasional want-another-one vibes. Indeed I even found myself fondling baby clothes in Next the other day!

But about 10 years ago I had my tarot cards done (at Mysteries in Covent Garden) and many of the things that were predicted/spoken about did ring true. I still have the notes I took afterwards.

One of the things said was that I would have three children but only give birth twice. For some reason that has always stuck with me. Since I have two lovely DD's and have therefore already given birth twice I have this irrational feeling that a third pregnancy would be somehow doomed.

Rationally I accept that while it would be quite possible to have a pregnancy and have a problem of some kind, it would be equally plausible to have a pregnancy and for it to be totally fine.

I guess what I am intrigued about is the extent to which these kind of statements have the potential to become self fulfilling prophecies. Or is it just a load of crap and to be ignored. It seems silly not to have another one just because of this but I cannot shake that feeling of fear. Perhaps the fear is nothing to do with the tarot cards and I am looking for a hook to hang it on.

In many ways I feel this is ludicrous to be even sharing this but at the same time it feels kind of nice to articulate it as it something I have not shared with any of my friends for fear of being laughed at!

Any views??

You're not being silly that's for sure. For years I always had at the back of my mind a ouija board session at school, at SCHOOL FGS. I asked how many children I'd have, it said none. Undoubtably someone was messing around, but when we then had real trouble conceiving it kept coming back to me. Needless to say it turned out to be utter crap as I have a gorgeous 10 month old son. But these things do play on your mind.

It's not ludicrous to have this playing on your mind, but as far as I'm aware, proper tarot readers would never give news such as this, and I am shocked that someone did.
It sounds like something you'd hear from an old woman at the end of the pier who trots out the same old stuff to everyone.
Did you pay for the reading?
Logically you know it doesn't mean anything.
You just have to convince yourself emotionally.

If dh is specific about a son, perhaps think about adoption? That way you have 3 children & only give birth twice.

I realise I am just being flippant, I so want to say "Oh don't worry about it, it's nonsense" just to make you feel better, but I won't say that as part of me feels funny about stuff like this

Hopefully someone wise will come along in a minute

[LynetteScavo]

Well you're obviously going to have another baby, delivered by cesarian.

[LynetteScavo]

Obviously, I'm not someone wise.

[Twinklemegan]

I didn't think of that LynetteScavo - good thinking - you are indeed wise.

[diddlysquat]

Ack!! Now that would really be a mahoosive fear of mine. Shit. Need to work through that one.

There are so many possible scenarios of how to have 3 children and only give birth twice.

Maybe one of your DD's will habve a baby young, and you'll bring it up? I don't know!!!!

If yore that bothered have another reading.

I had a reading that was unbelievably spot on about the past, but also told me I was drawn to Cardiff. I've no intention of ever going to Cardiff. I drove straight past last time I was in Wales. Although I do hear they have a nice hotel with a spa, so you never know.

Have another reading, with someone reputable and recommended, is my advice.

[fireflyfairy2]

Erm.. people who have c/sections still 'give birth'

[Flame]

Nah, best to drive straight past Cardiff

Shakespeare was adamant - Macbeth (I think) couldn't be killed by anyone "of woman born", so took it to mean he was immortal... forgot all those nice c-sections.

Hi diddly squat - I am a Tarot reader by profession. I agree a caesarean sounds the most rational outcome, but why not invest and have another reading with a local reputable reader or medium in order to answer your question. Just an idea but will put you at ease, maybe ...........

[ledodgy]

Funny you should say this as I got told I'd have 3 children in two pregnancies. Well so far I've got two children had one miscarriage and am now pregnant again so have been pregnant four times and will hopefully end up with three children. Basically she was wrong. I've had other readings which have also said I'd have 3 children but no one else said the in two pregnancies bit. Out of curiousity you didn't get your reading whilst on a Sandals holiday in Antigua did you?

My last Tarrot reading said that i would be coming into money in March, i am still waiting...

She also said i would Definatly not travel to India this year, i have booked my trip anyway! I am having another reading at weekend (someone different), so i will see what they say!

Other things have been said that have rung true, but i wont live my life by it IYKWIM. I can understand you dont want to go through the heart ache of loosing a child, but think of the joy of having another.
