I'm super conflicted. 😞 I want another baby so bad. Our little one was so hard to get here. It took nearly 4 years to conceive him and it was a battle to stay pregnant. He was born early and in the hospital for a long time. Hes been a very tough baby (and still is.) He has some problems and even has some surgeries coming up. We originally wanted to wait until he was 2 but I'm finding myself wanting another more and more. 😟
Meanwhile I have all these things I want to do. Like volunteer work, save to buy a house, ect.
I also want to eventually foster but I want to get our family situated first. Ugh.
Rant over.
@mccartymchs, PPROM is a reason for a preemie. We saw 3 top MFMs and 2 high risk OBs for opinions. Our kiddo was early for unknown reasons. I completely understand your feelings. A lot of what you’re saying is what preemies and their moms go through. Are you in any support groups? They’ve been amazing
@laniejay I'm not in any support groups. 😥 I dont know how to find local ones...do you know how to go about that?
@mccartymchs, I found them on FB. I wish there were local in person ones.
Compare your goals to what you and your family wants and what you need. List them in order, and decide from there. Work on them one at a time so it would be less stressful 💗
I had a micropreemie and they recommended waiting two years to let my body heal and lessen the chance of another. We waited and then saw specialists to get opinions on the risks. It helped us have a game plan and my next child was born 37.6. Waiting is a good thing as hard as it is.
