Pray for Ethan and I

[Linnis]

I'm done in. My arthritis and fibromyalgia(RA & FMS) are both acting up, not only because I'm 37.5 weeks pregnant but it's going from 40 degrees one day to 70 the next not to mention I've been off my meds 21 months.

I'm done being pregnant, I want this over, yet I know everyday inside of me, is one better for him.

Now I learned the real reason the doctor was/is worried about me laboring in water, is lack of monitaring. I can't have an epidural because of my spine...he's worried my pelvis will not react normally during labor and he wants to watch the baby and I closely for stress.

I haven't been sleeping, I can't eat...I should be well rested for labor, as it's going to be hard work and it doesn't look like I will be, which could only add to the complications.

Also, the stress of my RA and FMS might have me on really strong IV drugs once the baby is born to prevent more damage to my heart which means my dreams of breastfeeding will be gone.

Sorry if I sound like I'm whining I honestly don't mean to be.

At this point the thing I want prayed for most is the breastfeeding, I can only be pregnant 3 more weeks at the most(they'll induce me Nov.1) and labor can only last so long as well but breastfeeding is a year plus so it seems like the most important.

Thanks a bunch!!

I feel for you. I know how miserable I was at the end of my pregnancies and I didn't have the added complications you do. I can't imagine. Prayers for you!
