My friend and I were discussing this morning how we knew and were told nothing when we had our babies. Now perhaps the doctors tell too much. We both decided we were glad we were kept in the dark. It seems as if doctors place a huge burden on the pregnant moms to eat right, take so many safety precautions, and the upshot is they worry their heads off about the possibilities. My daughter received some assurances yesterday because they offered her the option of having another ultrasound and checked the baby again and all looked well. Bless her heart. She wants her baby out safe and sound. It will be soon, the I know very well how the waiting feels.
How informed to we want to be? What is right speech for doctors? It must be a balance, a delicate one, and reassuring without promises. I feel grateful to all the medical people who walk these tightropes every day, and to the mothers who love their babies before they see them. They are advocating for their children even in the womb.
