  Please don't go. Unless you must. I'm glad that you feel so comfortable with your doctor-that's immeasurable. I will be thinking about you and Carleigh and the rest of your family that she is able to stay in your tummy safely for as long as possible. Be strong momma. You can do this.

  This. I sincerely hope you stick around especially because you said the people you consider your real life support don't really get it. I can honestly say that this group of ladies will be there to help support you through it if you need them. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. I'll be thinking about you and your little one.

  I'm another won't-be-May mom. Here's some thoughts/perspective though.

  
  

  Even if our babies come early for the first two years their adjusted age will be based off their due date. And adjusted age for preemies is when you'll be looking to hit milestones- just like all the other May mamas. Our little ones may do awesome and get ahead of the pack- but we will most likely still be facing similar issues with our littles once June hits and we all have outside babies. 

  
  

  So as far as I'm concerned, my Elisabeth will stay a May baby, even if she decides to hit the escape hatch in March or April. Chances are if she comes that early she will stay in the NICU for a long stay while the other May mamas finish cooking their littles on the inside. And NICU babies just don't follow the same curve as full term babies born at the same time- so I'll still be looking forward to my May buddies posting

  
  Friends for 17 years. Married 10. TTC since Jan 2009.

  3 IVFs, 4 FETs, 11 transferred embryos, 3 losses (c/p, 6w, 17w)
  

  2012: Lost "Peanut" at 17weeks to PTL/IC.
   
  2013: IVF#3/FET#4  Elisabeth CJ born April 30, 2014
  Cerclage, P17, and 3 months of bed rest brought us our Rainbow.

  
   Dum spiro, spero.

  I have my hubby and my mom who get the severity of it.  I think my hubby is trying to shield my in-laws from how bad it is bc they would literally suffocate me.  However, when I hear friends say "It's just a surgery.  She'll be fine afterward"  Yes, it's a surgery.  It's a 4-6 hour surgery depending on how much vascularity the teratoma has (as of right now, not sure that it has a whole lot.  It's mainly just fluid filled tissue which is good) and how many nerves are involved.  My husband hasn't figured out how I'm able to keep from blowing up at these people, but I finally had a heart to heart with my pastor when he inadvertently left Carleigh off the prayer request email.  I felt bad lashing out at him, because I hate confrontation, but my pastor was actually very understanding and apologetic.

  Definitely stay. Once the babies are born, we'll all still be hitting the same milestones together. I'm wishing you all of the best as you go through this.
