Here's wishing each and every one of you, a happy and easy going parenting journey after a difficult ride to get there!
Janie, I think everyone has already said everything there is to say. Hopefully it's just a case of you having smaller babies (I figure there's got to be small ones and big ones to create the average!) and that everything is ok.
Janie: hun. Sounds like you've had a rough day. It is good that the ob is keeping an eye on you but the best person to judge how you and bub are doing is you. Don't feel silly if you just 'don't feel right' and want to be checked. Perhaps start a kick chart and also start a BH chart to see if there is any regularity to the pains you are feeling.
As frustrating as it is, now is the time to rest as much as possible. Call in some favours, accept those offers of help, eat take away if you don't feel like cooking. Don't feel guilty about Noodle, he will be fine, he will have a new little brother or sister in a few months and will be so busy and excited.
Janie Sending you more hun. The girls have said everything I was thinking too hun. Try and rest as much as you can and listen to your body and bub
Try not to be too concerned about taking the meds...if its what's needed to keep your bub in there a bit longer then that's a good thing hun
Michelle How are you doing hun. You've been in my thoughts all day today
Kelly More for you too You did very well catching up with your friends today. I can imagine how difficult that would have been
Kelly, I'm so sorry it was a hard day for you . I thought it might be, because of what you've told me about your close friends. Not that they're horrible or anything!!! Just that they haven't been there, so they don't really *get* it. I know you're desperate to catch up with everyone etc while you're in Perth, but make sure you take plenty of time for yourself too..........it will be hard when you get back here .
Michelle, go easy hun, we all know the next few weeks are going to be really tough. It's okay to vacillate . We will all be here as a sounding board, with absolutely no judgement. As others have said, this is an extremely personal decision......and one that you will likely not have to make beyond theory Thinking of you lots xoxo
