Just adding to the chorus of concern here, Cristeen. Best and most positive wishes for you, your family and your little one. I'm so happy to read that you have extended family stepping in to support you all through this!

Grace, I don't think I had quite an as intensely painful birth as you, but after both babies who presented with one arm up around their head (ouch!) and one who corkscrewed, I feel at least a little of your pain! I totally had a moment...
