To leave an important life decision to a robin?

[wttf]

Does anyone else do this!

I think I am going mad

I have been going back and forth over having another child for years. All signs are pointing to stopping ( just had a traumatic miscarriage!)

I am sat in the garden with a glass of wine and a robin has perched next to where I am sat

I said ( in my head) what shall i do robin? If you fly left I will try again if you fly right I will stop!

He jumped down to the right briefly to eat something and then flew left

So I am no further on with my decision making anyway
FFS!

I know I am mad.. just wondered if anyone else does this sort of nonsense!

Just here to say ‘I too have made an avian based decision’ is the greatest phrase I’ve ever heard and now I have to get it into my own conversations sometimes. I might just go out and tell it to the robins later.

I’m sorry to hear about your MC🌷

Whilst the Robin theory is a nice one.

It might be slightly more practical to speak to the most relevant HCP to see what the risks are and how you can best alleviate them and monitor your pregnancy to keep YOU safe.

You need to ask another robin Op. This one wasn’t very helpful ❤️

Oh & to answer your question...I’m not sure I’ve made an avian based decision, but I’ve definitely used things like that to help me make decisions. The ‘tossing the coin’ theory helps you work out how you feel from your reaction, that’s all it can do. You already know what you want, you just need to work out how safe it is for you. Robin can’t help with that I’m afraid. NO harm in chatting to him though!

@IncrediblySadToo I hope your username doesn't reflect how you feel!

Yes I plan to consult my gp and maybe have some tests to establish risk

Won't rely on our feathered friend'

I do stuff like this all the time and nature does sometimes give you signs. Also Robin's are supposed be a sign of a loved one coming to visit you.

wttf. Thank you 🌷 Sadly it is how I feel much of the time - lots of reasons, but st the same time I’m ‘ok’ too, but thank you for caring x

If it was me & the Drs weren’t saying you MUST NOT get pregnant again & there wasn’t a huge risk you couldn’t face, I’d be wearing DH out!! 🤣

Obviously your existing family is very important, but it’s not selfish to meet your own needs! 🌷
