I'm not afraid of shots but I also don't exactly look forward to them... but I'd be willing to for an easier delivery!<br />Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-45265419731715792412013-02-11T09:52:43.867-05:002013-02-11T09:52:43.867-05:00Something to consider: there is a shot that you ca...Something to consider: there is a shot that you can get (daily) to prevent you from going into labor early if you have done so previously. I don't know if its for everyone or every situation, but a friend did this with her second pregnancy since her first came two months early, and her daughter was born around 38 weeks.

Starting with Crystal and Cheetah--no, even before that, with Charles and Annette's little CharIie--I have never, ever, known of so many NICU babies; or so many babies who have needed heart surgery, or had other complications. It is actually scary to me when anyone is pregnant, and that is a new reaction for me. I always just thought of pregnancy as a normal, natural part of life, which obviously it is, and not something to fear.<br /><br />But, given the past year or two of so many really, really difficult pregnancy and childbirth stories for people that I know personally or people with only one degree of separation from me actually knowing them, I keep thinking of the scripture in Matthew 24:19 "and woe unto them that are with child" (and in Luke 21:23, and Mark 13:17). These chapters are on "calamities and signs preceding the second coming"--I am not saying "doom and gloom!" or anything, I am just saying that I notice the unusual number of problems during pregnancies and childbirth, and think about those scriptures in a different light than I used to. Because my imagination of what "woe" might look like for a pregnant woman involves her starving, and wrapped in a blanket trudging through snow or something like that...<br /><br />But I have certainly seen a LOT of WOE in very different ways from my (rather silly) imagination of what those scriptures might mean. I have to say, you are all so courageous, you young women of today. I admire you. <br /><br /><br />Myrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450610418971329885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-71515868960266720672013-02-10T23:28:23.400-05:002013-02-10T23:28:23.400-05:00I still think it was that bad, but I am very happy...I still think it was that bad, but I am very happy to have my tiny tornado :-)Cryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093625438383031052noreply@blogger.com
