and they named her Josie Brooklyn. I hate Brooklyn (It's my sister's name) but I love Josie.

And incase you went 'What? Already?' like I did. She was born early.

25 weeks.

Oh no! I thought she was closer to my own due date. How very sad. I REALLY hope she takes this as a sign from god to flipping stop.

You know, this woman just gave birth to a one pound baby three months before its due date, which had nothing to do with the fact that she's already had a lot of kids, and you're being pretty insensitive.

I feel very bad for the baby, I've known many people to have a baby at 24 and 25 weeks and how much the poor thing has to deal with and go through to beat the odds and make it out okay, so I sympathize, I do, but I blame her clown car uterus for the baby's poor start to life.

Wow. You're a wonderful person.

could be because she's getting older. what is she 42, 43?

[harinakshi.livejournal.com]

Age plays a factor for sure, too. I've known a few people with gallstone issues while pregnant, but they're more in their baby prime and they just get it taken care of after they have the baby. But gallstones are a possible, risk, you could say, of pregnancy, the more pregnancies, the bigger the risk. It was only a matter of time before something in her body gave out because of all the kids she's had.

Definitely a possibility, but she was also airlifted to the hospital a few days ago because she was having gallbladder issues that were causing contractions.

[harinakshi.livejournal.com]

Airlifted seems a little extreme, she could have gone by ambulance, they said it was only so she would be at a hospital with a good NICU in case she had to deliver early.

Actually, the ambulance ride would have been 200 miles. They live in western Arkansas and she delivered in Little Rock, which is in central Arkansas. Being airlifted was the much better option.

its just like they are waiting to have a special needs child or worse for her or the baby before they stop.

after having that many kids labor goes really, really fast. my husband was his moms 3rd child. he was born in the hallway. my BIL was her last. she had him at 44. they both almost died.

They've been extremely lucky so far, I don't see why they felt the need to push it. And knowing three children who were born at 25 weeks, special needs isn't far from a possibility now. Maybe they'll at least take a break while they deal with a child with bleeding on the brain, or who needs several surgeries to correct several issues caused with being so early. Or like my best friend's son, has to spend a year in a half body cast because of his hips, or a friend's friend who had breathing tubes in her nose and such for more than a year. It seems their luck has run out. And I do sincerely hope the best for Josie.

Honestly, I doubt they will stop. They firmly believe that if God wants them to be pregnant, they should be pregnant. And that every child is a gift. I'm pretty sure this would apply even if it was a special needs child, or preemie after preemie. In their view, if her body is "worn out" God will prevent her from getting pregnant again.

This is not my belief at all, but I just really don't think they will stop.
