Hi all,
Like most of you, I *just* found out that I'm pregnant. Probably between 2-4 weeks along? I'm very happy, but have a unique situation that I'm trying to work through...
I'm currently living in the Middle East with my husband and 1 year old daughter. We have plans to go home to the states for a visit mid-Aug to mid-Sept. (14 hour flight to east coast, 4 hour lay over, then a 5 hour flight to mid-west - all with a 12 month old in tow = lots of airport time). I'm a bit concerned about the swine flu, as being pregnant leaves us more susceptible to illness and from recent reports, pregnant women aren't faring well from the swine flu.
Obviously I really want to go home to see my family, etc. Just trying to do what's right...and to find the balance between living life not out of fear and yet being responsible.
I would like to hear from you; do you think it's silly to cancel our plans to go home or careless to go?
Thanks.
