I think I’m pregnant with my fourth child.  I haven’t taken the test yet because I want to document this oh-so-familiar feeling.  What I’ve experienced many times before.  Because I know that many Super-people out there have experienced the same thing, will relate, and perhaps get some support from my words and the Super-mom.com community (which at this point is about four hundred readers a day—many of whom are not Moms).

Here’s the drill.  Philippe and I set our intention to have another baby.  We visualize, and we “try.” 

Then I am convinced that I’m pregnant.  I feel queasy, tired, starving, bloated, and well, just pregnant.  My breasts are sore.  I feel “different.”  Smells of certain foods begin to bother me.

I know I am.  I KNOW I am!!  I get really excited.  I wait.  And I wait. 

And after two weeks, I do the test.

And there it is—the stick.  That little piece of plastic that holds the answer to a dream and manifestation come true or a sad pit in my stomach that’s difficult to put into words.

It’s negative. 

I don’t believe it. 

“I’ve tested too early,” I assure myself. 

I wait a few more days, and I test again.

For all of my three children I’ve gotten false negatives–negative pregnancy tests because I tested “too early.”  I put quotation marks around “too early” because although I wait the “standard” two weeks, my body needs about three to give me the thumbs up.

But also for every one of my three children, I’ve gotten “true negatives”—negative pregnancy tests when I truly thought—I KNEW—I was pregnant, but wasn’t. 

I have talked to countless Super-moms about this syndrome and we all concur:  there is something that happens the month or two before you actually conceive which emulates pregnancy.  The symptoms are real and palpable. 

My friend Mary, an energy healer and acupuncturist (listed in my top picks), swears that this is the body and spirit’s way of preparing to create a life. 

It is, after all, the most important creation there is.  Face it, it’s cool to create other stuff—a yoga studio, a book, a restaurant, a computer program, a website, a film, a batch of raw muffins, an article, a beautiful space to live in, a garden, an academic degree, etc.

The list is endless of what we can create!  And that in and of itself is amazing and wondrous.  Ponder that for just a moment:  the list of what you and I can create is limited only by our minds. 

But nothing compares to creating new life.  It’s a miracle, Sisters. 

Doesn’t it make sense that there is some “more” preparation in order?  More than just “trying” and conceiving–possibly only minutes later?  

What other action in your life can shift your life irrevocably in one instant—forever?  Doesn’t it make sense that The Universe sets it up so that the path is cleared a bit—prepared energetically so to speak–before this profound shift happens?

But what about those who never have this experience—feeling they are pregnant before they actually are?  Are they not as “in tune” with their bodies and spirits as those who do have this experience? 

Or is this not real—is it only that some Super-people (myself included) create psychosomatic symptomatology to emulate pregnancy because we want it so much. 

It’s been documented many a time—the woman who visits her Doc swearing she’s pregnant–with a swollen belly and many symptoms (most of which are not enjoyable) to prove it.  But there’s no baby.

So lay it on us, Super-people.  Has this happened to you?  Does any of this sound vaguely or perhaps intimately familiar?  If so, what’s your take on it?

Now here goes the test…Super-mom style.

And the stick is…NEGATIVE.

I feel surprised–but not really.

I guess a part of me knew I wasn’t pregnant, even though I really felt I was.

I know many of you can relate to these feelings of momentary insanity.

Many, many hours on my yoga mat and studying deliberate creation (Abraham-hicks.com) comes in handy now, because I actually feel disappointed and sad for only a moment. 

Then I am back into excited/anticipation mode.

I have faith and I know that our fourth baby is coming, and will come at the perfect time.

“People often want to make enlightenment about finding some process and moving through the process that has been pre-described. But true enlightenment is moving to the rhythm of the internal inspiration that is coming in response to the individual desire. Enlightenment is about allowing my Connection to the Source that is me for the fulfillment of the things that I have individually defined here in my time-space-reality. That’s as good as it gets!”

-Abraham

“Enlightenment means literally aligning to the Energy of my Source. And genius is only about focusing. Law of Attraction takes care of everything else.”

-Abraham

“The Universe knows all things and is responding to the vibration that you are sending. When you are sending your vibration on purpose, you are orchestrating what the Universe is aligning for you.”

-Abraham

“We are all Vibrational Beings. You’re like a receiving mechanism that when you set your tuner to the station, you’re going to hear what’s playing. Whatever you are focused upon is the way you set your tuner, and when you focus there for as little as 17 seconds, you activate that vibration within you. Once you activate a vibration within you, Law of Attraction begins responding to that vibration, and you’re off and running–whether it’s something wanted or unwanted.”

-Abraham

“Anything you desire, the Universe can find a way to let it happen. It must be, for this is a joy-based Universe. And so, as you watch children playing in the mud and having great joy in it, you might not enjoy playing in the mud, but they do. And so, there’s somebody enjoying doing something you don’t want to do. And that pretty much applies to everything.”

-Abraham
