Comments on: “Get Thee to the Hospital” Prenatal Visit #16 (37 Weeks) http://littlejackscorner.mrscoles.com/2008/04/23/get-thee-to-the-hospital-prenatal-visit-16-37-weeks/ The Life & Times of Jack-Evan and Family Thu, 27 Jan 2011 02:40:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Kelly http://littlejackscorner.mrscoles.com/2008/04/23/get-thee-to-the-hospital-prenatal-visit-16-37-weeks/#comment-477 Kelly Sun, 27 Apr 2008 03:14:20 +0000 http://littlejackscorner.mrscoles.com/?p=223#comment-477 Hi Lisa, I've been checking your blog here and there and have really enjoyed reading your stories. You are a great writer and the Lord has blessed you with this gift! I am a friend of Michelle and Jason's and so I know Kevin from when I was at Brockport. Anyways, I'm excited to read your stories about having your first baby, it's a wonderful thing. I am due with #2 just a few weeks after your date, on May 23--Jacob's birthday! I have a son who will be 18 months old by then and reading all of your first time pregnancy news reminds me of being pregnant with him. Just to encourage you, YOU will be the one who gets the credit for this pregnancy and birth, not the dr or nurse who helps you to deliver. YOU will be the one who delivers this baby and it will all go fine. Your body knows what to do and you know God already has the day written down. Just rest in His peace and I promise, you'll be OK. And as far as next time goes, now you know what things were like this time and you know what you'd like and not like next time so you're already a step ahead. You can be in charge of how you want things, and that includes for birthing little Jack as well. I had a homebirth with our son, Jak, and will again with this next one. I loved every minute of it even though it was hard work. It was also very peaceful, intimate and calm, and I would just encourage you that no matter where you birth, to try and have those priorities that you want at your own birth (s). OK, enough. I am writing a book but I just wanted to finally say hello and wish you well as you prepare for this awesome journey into Motherhood. Be blessed! Hi Lisa,

I love reading pregnancy stories! Anyway, I totally agree with you that NSTs are "put-stress-on-the-mother" tests. I had one each week for the last 8 weeks of my last pregnancy (due to a previous loss) and they were so stress inducing! I'm looking forward to reading about Jack's arrival. Hopefully soon!
