Pregnant again, depressed, hyperemesis again

[Liraco]

Personally I would baptise the baby inside the womb, ie baptise your bump but don’t tell the priest. You need to pour water over your bump three times and say I baptise you and full name (but don’t worry if you haven’t the name yet) in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. It might take away some of the pains that you are experiencing but not all. Worth a try. Also go to mass more often during pregnancy as you’re eating for two, and also try confession.

Definitely NOT worth a try. Don’t circumvent the Church to baptize. It’s like running a red light to get to Church on time. Doing something wrong to achieve a good isn’t good at all.

Here’s a LICIT way to baptize a child in utero IN AN EMERGENCY: jimmyakin.org/2009/06/in-utero-baptism.html

One would do best to learn patience otherwise.

I feel your pain! Both of these conditions are serious and deserve medical attention.

I was hyperemetic (IV at home, hospital trips, Zofran, lost a lot of weight, the works) and had PPD in all three of my pregnancies. Not fun at all. One time, I bolted out of mass and puked right outside of church. Wow, I was so embarrassed. I really hoped that no one saw me.

Since you are concerned about spacing out you children’s birth you may want to talk to a NFP person and your doctor. Your doctor may have some really good recommendations for you and some may work well with NFP. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Don’t lose hope! I will say a prayer for your family.
