I was just wondering how many people have the feeling that they are babysitting and are waiting for the "real" parents to come back.
I had a miscarriage and then lost a little girl who was born alive at 20 weeks. I got pregnant with Tink pretty soon after. Through my pregnancy I didn't feel that I was really going to have a baby, I knew I would believe it when it happened. In the end I went into labour at 31 weeks and had to have a section under General Anaesthetic. I didn't get to see her until she was 5 hours old and I've never been able to accept that she's mine.
