Expecting a Pisces Baby

Greetings to all you lovely Fishes,

I am just a few weeks shy of giving birth to a pisces girl. I am really excited about meeting her. I was wondering if anyone had any good advice or suggestions on raising confident pisces children, particularly girls? Thanks.

Awe, my middle daughter is a Pisces. Truly a wonderful, sweet compassionate child.

Congrats I know you are excited. I have a Pisces daughter. My daughter is rather typical... Pisces Sun, Moon, Mercury.

The Princess and Pea.

Congrats! I have a Pisces daughter. She going to be 7 on leap day. Best short advice I can give you... Give her every possible way to let her use her creativity.

Same here DJ buck!

And definitely what rachel said.

And hell yes on the discipline and needing more reassurance.

^^^^ Nailed it.

As the sole Water sign in a family of Air and Fire signs, fully half of the time I had no idea what the hell was going on. It really was like being on a different planet. I was the visitor, and a disengaged vistor at that. I know that I have written about this before on here. They really didn't know what to make of me.

I remember you talking about your Leo sister (?) with an Aries Moon.

Us Pisces are dreamy, emotional, and loving creatures. My biggest biggest biggest piece of advice to you would be to be open and thoughtful to her feelings. Never make her feel bad or dumb for being overly-emotional or sensitive. And also don't push her to share something with you that she might not want to share, she will in her own time. What I loved as a child was having my mom read to me or with me, I loved using my imagination. I enjoyed the simple things like watching Franklin and Little bear with my mom and snuggling in bed. I was never a "sports" or "need for physical activity child." I loved being close and I still am very close natured, I love hugs and sometimes I do get in "personal space" but it's because personal space doesn't exist in the pisces world when it comes to affection. We love to be showered with kisses and hugs! Good luck to you. Pisces are one of the most beautiful signs.

That's how my sweet baby is, I shower her with hugs and kisses. I love to watch her using her vivid imagination.. My favorite thing she does is show me what she sees in the sky, the different pictures. It sometimes takes me a minute but I can see it and enjoy it with her. She enjoys the small things but her Leo Moon shines through as well. lol Love her to pieces!!!

Congratulations on your baby Creative Cap. .Many blessings, good health and joy!!!!

I didn't remember the Moon but I remembered the story 😄

You sepia-ed your avi.

Thanks for all the comments.

Perhaps, sharing more information about my background would be more helpful.

This is my first child and I will be a single parent. The father has decided he does not want to be in the child's life shortly after conception. I have not seen or heard from him through out the pregnancy. I do have the support of family and a few close friends.

Just wondering if any pisces could relate to being raised by a single parent, your feelings on the absence of the other parent and how this affected your upbringing?

Stop being so* sensitive

Thanks for the comment. Don't assume that this is my type of sentiment, because I fall under a certain sun sign.

I can not certainly vouch for their reasonings, but I am sure your mother and siblings just wanted to help you build strength. It is about perspective.

is she here??

Abby,

She was born naturally Sunny side up on February 24th at 10:45AM. Labor started two days prior on Sunday morning. We named her Olivia.

Sorry so long to post. Busy doing mommy stuff and still getting know baby girl. Love her dearly already 🙂

We are doing great! Once we overcome those colicky nights, she'll be a even happier baby and mommy will get more sleep!!!

Though, I don't disagree with the Fish here, when they tell you things your Pisces will do ... I do think what they told you was just informing you of traits, and not really anything beyond that.

For example: The Pisces is going to dream .. so to tell you to let her is moot.
and: to tell the Pisces to not be so sensitive is like telling your bowels not to move.

Everything that was mentioned are actual experiences that Pisces go through (suffer) everyday ... so, it's not like you could stop her from imagining her world.


If you want to save your daughter's feelings (which is the only thing will matter to her) .. then you address the issues, not play pretend that everything is rainbows and kittens.

The world is harsh, and Pisces can't handle the realities ... the best thing you could do for a Pisces child is to talk to her about being different. Don't tell her to not be so sensitive ... you might as well just kill her.

All her life, she will be treated differently. Whether it's true or not, she will believe it. don't ignore that and tell her bullshit, like, "it's ok honey, it's not true, I love you" ... because that accomplishes nothing.

Don't fucking pamper her with hugs all the time. The Fish NEEDS direction, until the day they die. Don't just hug her and make pretend that everything is ok.

Because it's not ok. It's not something she will grow out of. It's her imagination that she's being treated bad.

You want to know what to do? Don't pretend that her reality isn't real.

don't pretend that her reality isn't real

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

congratulations on your new arrival.

Congratulations! My little one is a water baby too, Scorpio Sun, Pisces Asc, Cancer Moon. What is Olivia's Asc if you don't mind sharing? My son was colicky too but he is just the sweetest little guy, very cuddly and gives lots of kisses, loves music, has shown genuine concern for other crying babies since as early as about 5-6 months old.

Congrats, if you are creative as you say in your nickname I think you will not have a problem.

I'm jealous!!!! I would love a pisces female child.

Like others have set give her creative outlets but most importantly encourage her to speak her mind !!

Give her structure as well as additional things to help her gain confidence. Tell her how smart she is! Foster her intellectual curiosity through books and music.

Don't shelter her too much. Us pisceans are really naive and try to see the best in people which leaves us especially vulnerable to incidents of exploitation , domestic and sexual abuse.

Almost every pisces female I know have been victims to one of the above. I thank God my parents did everything they could to protect me including telling me about the nature of men , strangers etc from an early age.

Aaawww...lucky you, you will have an easygoing, mellow Pisces girl.

I am a Pisces, and I grew up in a home where emotions weren't expressed, so I think it's really important to let her know that it's ok to have strong feelings, it's ok to cry, it's wonderful to be very sensitive. (It took therapy for me as an adult to get in touch with my feelings) 🙂

Also, she will probably be a little psychic as a child, I was, still am, it's good to let her know it's wonderful to be that way, it's ok to see fairies, friendly tree spirits, etc... 🙂

Make sure she has great creative outlets like dance, and art...as a Pisces I think it is so important to have places to just flow. She will love outlets for her imagination.

Teach her things that will give her confidence, and let her know of her inner strength, but let her know it's also ok to be vulnerable.

As a Pisces, I know how important it is for Pisces to have retreat and downtime away from the world, so let her know that is ok too.

I used to work at a daycare, and all the kids would come up to me crying and upset if another kid hurt their feelings on the playground - there was this little Pisces boy, he was the only one that would come up to me crying, having a meltdown, if he hurt someone else's feelings! That's a true Pisces for you! 🙂 Your Pisces girl will be very tuned in to your feelings.

Most importantly, as soon as she is born, tell her "It is ok to say no." Teach her about healthy boundaries, and to be discerning, that she doesn't have to be nice to everyone, that she can use her strong intuition to avoid negative energy. That's something I had to learn as an adult, wish I knew it as a kid!

Enjoy your little fish~!

Oh I forgot to add one thing - Let your Pisces girl dream, but also it would be helpful to give her practical strategies to deal with the real world. So she can have the freedom to dream once all the bills are paid! 🙂 Enjoy your little Neptune baby!
