Very bad timing

Last night we took DS to the ER. Turns out he has a mild case of pneumonia. Poor little guy is miserable. So I am now torn between desperatly wanting to go into labor and not wanting to at all. Tomorrow I was suppose to have my membranes swept. I'll be 38w 4d. We all know the time restraints on VBAC's, so it just sucks that he is sick right now. I had three different people willing to take him if I went into labor before my parents arrived, but all have small kids, so not an option anymore. Ugh. This is awful timing. I just don't know that I want to do things to help me progress when DS needs me at home. Thanks for letting me vent.

That is bad timing.  Any way you could move your appointment to Friday?  That way you'd have a couple of days to get him a little better.  Kids usually get better so quickly.

My ob's office is closed Friday. She is in a solo practice and is at the hospital on Friday. I think I am going to schedule my 39 week appointment for early in the week. The pediatrician thought he would be better by Friday, but I have to give him breathing treatments until Saturday. I don't want to turn those over to someone else, since he doesn't really care for them and they have to be given at night as well. Thanks for the advice!

Good luck momma and my prayers are with you.  I know that has to be rough, but I hope it all works out.
