Increased intuition during pregnancy

[starla]

Hi everyone,

I recently found out I'm pregnant - I'm 9 weeks at the moment and having a bit of a rough ride. Not only the usual nausea, exhaustion and other niggles that might be a bit on the TMI side if I share them with you, but I'm also experiencing an increased sensitivity which is a bit disconcerting.

I've got some psychic ability and have in the past put it to work. I did a short stint on phone lines and some successful readings via email. I've always been sensitive to environments and people and yet I feel that this is going through the roof at the moment, and not necessarily in a good way.

I'm a Christian and have been very busy in my church lately. I've recently met a new member of the congregation and although she seems to be a nice woman, I am finding it very hard spending time with her. The feelings I have when I'm around her, or afterwards, are a feeling of being drained and of deep suspicion about her and her motives. This is not a nice feeling as I would normally be able to protect myself from the feeling of being drained and would also give someone the benefit of the doubt before getting to know them.

I've also had a tough time with some of the young people I work with, feeling totally exhausted after spending time with them, and also, having lost a student very dear to me to another country, am struggling with intense dreams and concerns for their future.

I guess what I'm asking then is whether any of you've who've been pregnant have experienced things like this and if so, what you did to protect yourself from negative sensations. Having suffered with depression in the past and, what I believe was a nasty psychic attack, I'm really quite concerned that I gather my strength in some way to make sure I stay healthy and happy for the rest of my pregnancy.

Any suggestions?

love

Congratulations, Starla! how exciting for you!

sounds to me like you are possibly not just a psychic, but perhaps an empath as well? I would highly recommend that you do some grounding exercises and if at all possible, limit your exposure to the people who drain you.

I think that this is actually a very common thing among pregnant women though. Its like the 'mother instinct' is kicking in big time - even though you are only 9wks. pregnant. so, why not try some grounding exercises if you can, and also, when you begin to feel the draining effect coming on, remove yourself - if only for a short period, to gather your strength again. Perhaps going outside to the fresh air and taking some deep breaths. being outside can be VERY grounding.

Congratulations Starla! Babies are such a gift, I wish you a healthy and happy pregnancy!

I did have somewhat increased intuition, but not towards the outer world. I KNEW without a doubt that I was having a girl and I KNEW what she would be like. Her mannerisms, her behavior, her attitude towards life. I KNEW the name I picked out belonged to her. There was really no doubt in my mind. And I was right about it. I think I have some psychic skills, but I am usually terrible at reading people's characters. But with my little baby I knew exactly who I was getting. Additionally, she looks JUST like me, and hardly anything like her father. Add that to the fact that I kept my maiden name when we married and I gave it to her and she is a true child of mine. Anyway, I did think it was odd at times that I knew her so well before she was born, but I've heard of this happening to others.

Like I said, best of luck Starla!

Thanks for your lovely comments

celticnoodle, in regards to me possibly being an empath, that's not something I'd thought about before, but it makes a lot of sense. I'll read up on that a bit more and see if I can implement some of those grounding strategies you were suggesting. At the moment I'm keeping away from crowds as much as possible and spending a little more time out in the sunlight. It seems to be working so fingers crossed I'll start to feel a little better soon.

And newlillith, it's absolutely fascinating that you knew so much about your little girl before she was born. At the moment, I have no feelings of intuition that way, which really surprises me! I'd always thought I'd just know whether I was expecting a boy or a girl and what they might be like. I shall let you know whether things change with that in the near future.

Thanks for your support and congratulations - it's been tough, but it's nice to speak to you both and I'm so happy to be expecting a wee one of my own.

congratulations Starla on your pregnancy and thanks for starting the thread, found it really interesting. I think I might be an empath too and going to read up more on it I suffer quite badly from social anxiety and hate crowds and lots of people around me but starting to wonder now about the grounding for me too. I am really good with people and their emotions, it just seems to come really naturally! can't quite explain it. But I do feel like I suck in people's moods too but definitely something I am now going to learn about

Perhaps protective and shielding crystals might help you? I don't really have knowledge in that area but research into it. good luck with it all

Congratulations!

When I was pregnant(3 times) I had very similar experiences. And now that I am going through menopause it is happening again. It's hormones, your emotions are playing a number on your intuition and taking control. Feeling drained and paranoid is all a part of pregnancy when you have psychic abilities, and with those who don't have abilites. Once you are a mother your intuition will really hone in, it is amazing how much more in tune I was after having my babies. Hang in there, in a few months things will settle down you will feel less drained and more at ease. Take care and try not to work so hard. Good Luck!

Thanks for your insight, everyone.

It seems God (or the universe/other benevolent being) has taken notice of how bad I've been feeling. Since the beginning of the week my diary has cleared without my intervention so that I'm seeing maybe one or two clients a day at the most - down from my usual seven or eight. I am still very tired, but feeling that I've got space to get myself together now.

I try to keep reminding myself that my baby is growing so quickly now that it's only right that I give it my energy and attention. Hopefully I'll be feeling more my usual self in a few weeks.
