In addition to the support resources that I often talk about, here are a few more. While I know there is the saying "less is more", personally I feel with the more support we have, it is "more is more" ;  )  I feel that with all of our situations so different, we do have commonalities and that is that we want our babies here as full term and as healthy as possible. The more support we are able to give one another, whether it is tips, resources, perspective, etc. the stronger we feel, emotionally, which in turn, the stronger we are physically.
