[quote=Anonymous]OP, I just want to say I am thinking of you and wishing you all the best. I think right now I would ask for the high risk doctors who are evaluating you, or the neonatologists, to sit down with you and talk about what you may expect. I would want as much information as possible. I would also make sure you do as much as you can to set up a great support system after the baby comes. I know that for me, I would start talking to a therapist now to prepare. I would also be prepared to visit one after the birth. I would tell as many friends as I felt comfortable telling to avoid issues after, and to make sure I had as many people supporting me as possible. But this is way personal, and people have totally different ways of responding. You may want to retreat for a bit. Do you have family support? And what about work? I would think a family member or a nanny would be better with a special needs infant but I am not sure. We had a nanny for our premature child because he was medically delicate. I am thinking of you, again, OP. [/quote]
