Awww, TM, this has to be so scary. I'd probably lose it in those circumstances. I am glad that they have done all they can, and so long as your membranes are intact they can keep putting it off. I don't know what more to say but that I hope your DS can hold on for just a few more weeks. But I can certainly understand that the idea of putting your feet up with 4 kids under them is a near impossible ask!

Just try your absolute best - take everything slow and easy, don't let them push you around (the kids or the doctors!). If work wasn't so stressful you could stave off maternity leave for the opportunity to put your feet up, but leaving early sounds like your best option. Take care of yourself, and don't stress about liberal use of the square babysitter in the loungeroom!
