You are in a safe place, Heather. You are under competent doctor's care. All that can be done for you, is being done. Now, you have the job of staying relaxed, not borrowing trouble with the *what if* thinking. Noone wants anymore than that. Try not to compare this with Tyler's birth. We all want the best for you. Sending P&PT's your way. (((hugs))) jan

Take care. Please try to relax. I know it's so hard when you are trying to hang on to that baby. I used to have contractions with the twins that I couldn't feel - when I went to the hospital for my weekly non stress test I used to get so upset when they told me I was contracting. I ended up in the hospital overnight at 32 weeks.

I hung on to them until almost 36 weeks. It was so hard.

You went through this with your first child so you KNOW that you can handle it. You are so close. And before you know it you will have a wonderful new baby - that is such a blessing.

You're in my prayers.

Prayers and positive thoughts on the way!! Heather, you can do this!! I know that every step of the way you've doubted if you could, but you've made it this far and you'll make it through the rest. You're a much stronger woman than you give yourself credit for. It's gonna be okay!! I'll be thinking of you this week. ((((HUGS))))

Heather,

PT&Ps are being sent your way. You will get through this. You are stronger than you think and it will all be over soon. You have come such a long way! Soon, you will be taking care of your 2 sons and getting yourself back to a "normal" place. I'm happy for you. Just hang in there.

Heather,
Glad to hear you are going home. Enjoy your son's birthday ~ glad he is feeling better. Anyone in your situation would be anxious so don't be too hard on yourself. Your precious baby will be here and this will all just be a memory. Take care ~ lots of prayers and positive thoughts coming your way.
