I had to have surgery almost immediately and after it was all over the only emotion I felt was relief that the whole thing was over and that I was still okay.It was only after I'd heeled physically that I began to suffer emotionally. This week is definitely the time that I would have been having my baby and I'm suffering a lot. I know I'm only young but I think I would have been a really good mother. I keep feeling like I'm missing something, I keep cradling my arms as if I'm holding a baby when I'm not, and worst of all I'm having the most immense pain in my abdomen. I feels like shooting pains and as if my tummy has had a rope tied around it and it keeps being tightened.Is this normal? I feel like these phantom pains are just psychosomatic and that there's nothing actually wrong with me. Or that I'm just having tummy aches down to stress. But none of it feels normal.This question is to woman who have been through the same thing, did this happen to you?Is this normal?Thanks Reply to this Question

 Have you talked to your doctor about these pains and got it verified that they are indeed phantom pains? If not you should get it checked out just to be sure.
I am sorry that I can not help you through the other worried you have as I have no experience with what you are asking. I just wanted to make sure that the pains are indeed phantom pains.
