In my book it's ok for us to be afraid, if anyone in the world is justified in feeling that it's us. I think it's lovely that you're going to be her birth coach, I hope it's a beautiful experience for both of you.<br />Hugs,<br />MMindy Bizzellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922051276900053988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342989442322137175.post-78737122447296172452010-02-24T07:50:14.394-08:002010-02-24T07:50:14.394-08:00Your not crazy at all!

I certainly understand your fear! I'm not sure how women can go so far past their due dates. With my daughter Kyndra I was induced at 40w2d. Even though I had no clue about babyloss yet I wasn't comfortable going any farther.

Brings back memories of being pregnant with my own Calvin, and finding out my doc wouldn't induce until I was 10 days overdue. At 6 days overdue (after getting my membranes stripped 3 times in the prior 48 hours) I was in prodromal labor and finally convinced him to admit me. But that was then. Now, after losing Addison at 38.5 weeks, I would be so nervous going anywhere near my due date in future pregnancies. And I have your same anxiety about watching other moms going over their due dates. We know too much, don't we?<br /><br />That being said, I'm sure your dear SIL will have a wonderfully healthy baby. My babies were also born via c-section (general for 1st and epidural for 2nd) and I have never been anywhere near a "real" birth. What a really special thing to share with her. It will make an amazing story to share with your future niece or nephew, and will definitely strengthen your bond. Try to relax, says me, the Anxiety Queen.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03555672583756632794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342989442322137175.post-37891578671527400112010-02-17T17:03:48.880-08:002010-02-17T17:03:48.880-08:00That is wonderful that you will be there.

How wonderful, the person I asked to be with Lawrence and I was someone I trusted completely and felt safe with for such a remarkable, yet personal and vulnerable time. She made a great choice in you! <br /><br />You are not crazy, you have said many times that when you lost Calvin, you lost your ability to be blissfully naive. To always believe things will just work out. While you may gain more of that back in other aspects of your life, you may never when it comes to pregnancies and births. And now you have hundreds of friends and hundreds of stories of all the things that could go wrong - in addition to your own horror. <br /><br />My doctor would have let me go 7 days past my due date with all three pregnancies and she also induced/helped along 2 of them before that 7 days came - when I was ready to go. Waiting 10 days is an eternity at that point of pgncy! I don't think 10 days is THAT out of the ordinary for many docs and a healthy pregnancy, but I do understand why it scares you so much. <br /><br />Deep breath, wait until her due date to start worrying about that, because hopefully she will go before and the 10 days will never come into play. Keep giving her great advice and rely on her feelings of uneasiness to help her make the right decisions for them if necessary. Don't borrow trouble from tomorrow, just concentrate on today. <br /><br />I'll be thinking and praying for them and can't wait to congratulate you as a new auntie ("who was there when you were born!") very soon! Much love!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607355428134594306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342989442322137175.post-23952290484364304942010-02-17T07:47:18.357-08:002010-02-17T07:47:18.357-08:00your not crazy!
