It's an aggravating drug to take, but the effects on your baby won't be as bad as if you had her early and her lungs aren't developed. The risk to her early birth outweigh the risk of developmental delays...so please rethink it before you stop taking it. Cecelia needs to stay in a little while longer. =)OH - and if you went into labor right now (minus your water breaking) they won't let you have her - they will give you magnesium which is a thousand times worse on you (like being drunk, but your world doesn't spin!) and then you'll be on bedrest...I did that a few times, as well...and you will probably get an amnio - 'cause they will have to check her lungs before allowing you to have her OR giving you an emergency c-section. Just a couple of things to think about...that was my experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4747960977903040431.post-38442519344385342062008-02-28T12:47:00.000-06:002008-02-28T12:47:00.000-06:00Nat...I just wanted you to know that I totally agr...Nat...<BR/><BR/>I just wanted you to know that I totally agree with your decision. Not that you need anyone's approval, it's your body and your child- you know best! But it really isn't worth the risk this late in the game. It's been so much fun reading about your preparations for Miss Cecilia. I'm so excited for you!! You're both in my prayers. You're going to make a great mommy. <BR/><BR/>Love you!<BR/>Sarah (Brennan)Sarah Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769187684694574133noreply@blogger.com
