I worked with a child a yr and a half ago who was having very similar behaviors toward his pregnant mother (plus banging his head into her belly as hard as he could). We implemented this same procedure and within a week, it was over. It worked like a dream. HTH! Let me know how it goes.View Thread

And to people who say terribly hurtful things in response to posts, I think that's really crappy. I thought the whole idea here was to support each other. I think you all should thank God right now that you aren't in this position with this decision to make. You may think you know what you would do, but until you've been there, it is really unfair to judge at all. And didn't your mothers ever tell you, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"? I think it's just a good rule of thumb to be compassionate vs hurtful.View Thread

The other problem is that almost none of the food I can force down is terribly nutritious. I am religious about taking my prenatals and I also take extra vitamin C and calcium (cleared with my dr), but I'm worried it's not going to be good enough. I have a dr appt next week and I am definitely going to mention this then, but in the meantime, I am living on a diet of mostly soup and simple starches.
Anyone else dealing with a similar situation or have any advice on what I can do? Thanks!View Thread

If you, your husband, and your dr decide that it is safe and in your family's best interest to induce labor, don't let anyone make you feel like a bad person. I have been working with families of children with special needs for the past 11 years. I don't know what your specific situation is, but I know it is never easy to be the mother to a child with special needs. And I have been there with the mothers of children I have worked with when they have had tough decisions to make- although, I confess, nothing this difficult. Needing to take care of your two year old does not mean that you don't love this baby. I know you are in such a tough place and I am sorry for the decision you have to make. Just be prepared if the dr is less than enthusiastic about your idea to induce labor. I'll be praying for you. Let me know how you're doing. Best of luck to you and God bless.View Thread
