After several months, I asked about that. "Oh, that means Advanced Maternal Age." See, you're just advanced is all! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great read!Natsthenamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14867608510733862001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10673240.post-1154450998393534122006-08-01T12:49:00.000-04:002006-08-01T12:49:00.000-04:00Congrats on receiving a perfect post award!<BR/><BR/>I hear ya about all that worrying. I am having my first baby at 36 and am dealing with the what-if and, yes, I too had to get a tetanus shot around week 30. I ate brie and lunch meat before I knew what I was doing. Oh, and blue cheese, too.<BR/><BR/>If you ask me, the medical field makes the "mature mom" paranoid before she even has a chance to get there herself, all in the name of their CYA tactics.<BR/><BR/>Letting go is great advice!

My DH thinks I'm paranoid. So does my family and my ILs. "Sorry, I can't have lunch meat unless it's cooked." "WTF?" No, they don't say that but I can see by their face they are thinking it. If I lean too far back on the couch armrest I worry that I'm laying on that scary artery that will cut off the baby's blood supply. And Google is my best/worst friend. I had 4 charley horses night before last and one leg still hurts. I'm forcing myself not to google blood clot. Pregnant ladies get those you know.<BR/><BR/>It's been 5 days since your last post, not that I'm stalking, but did you have the baby?Battyjacnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10673240.post-1153970094636123832006-07-26T23:14:00.000-04:002006-07-26T23:14:00.000-04:00cake.

I read about the bat incident. I am a worrier too. There is just to much information out there for the anxiety prone. Now I will add bats to my list of things to fear after tornados, tsunamis, artifical sweetners,republicans, etc. <BR/><BR/>Letting go? A definite advantage for the very religious, being able to do that. When I need to do that I wish I had a religious reason or motivation to do it.

My. God. Buddha. Whatever.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there! As a fellow INTP, I know what you're going through - I stayed awake Googling all night once last fall worried that we had all contracted rabies from the stray kitten we had been feeding (and who was starting to act sick). Rabies is a very scary thing - sorry you had to go through all this!

I think I just took a field trip through your mind. Brilliant post!<BR/><BR/>I don't even know what I am so that must say something about me. Which one of these types doesn't even take the time to find out ? Hmpt. <BR/><BR/>I agree that this child will be super and may be able to save you from rusty nails, peter pan collars and even a bat or two. <BR/><BR/>For some reason, I have George Michael singing "You gotta have faith" in my head right now...and it's really too early for any of that.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the shots , sweetie.

Tetnus shots, bat in the house, rabies shots, baby in breech position -- You have certainly been through the wringer with this pregnancy!

I'm an INTJ but I have strong INTP sympathy.<BR/><BR/>First, you wonder what bizarre series of events led to all of this, then you deconstruct to identify catalysts, active and passive factors, what could have netted a different result, and then you turn to the future: what will this all bring down. Ahh yes, that's indeed when the creative part kicks in!<BR/><BR/>Or in simpler terms: what just happened, how did this happen, does this happen to other people, and what will happen next? LOL<BR/><BR/>The cat and bat story---was that you or an episode of Newhart?---was crazy nuts. I hope all is well.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Jess about the Peter Pan collar and remind me to tell you about our drinking game in college called Hi Bob.<BR/><BR/>Can you believe in the Mighty Potentate?<BR/><BR/>I hear if you burn halushki on your doorstep five nights in a row you'll have an easy birth, on time, with a healthy baby. ;)<BR/><BR/>Barring that, I'll do lots of hoping, praying, crossing fingers, and animal sacrifices on your behalf. You just never know who is in charge and I like to hedge my bets. ;)Julie Pipperthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03169574697104642479noreply@blogger.com
