There's a lot to be said for paying attention and stopping all drugs when a baby's health is at stake. I am real proud of you for doing that. All we can do is the best we can do!

And though I don't use this as an excuse, I well remember having the flu and being treated for it when I was pregnant with my( healthy ) 26 year old daughter. It was one of the things that could enter through the placenta and cause possible harm in the first few weeks. I was heart sick.

My doctor assured me that I was doing the best I could and that it came as no surprise to God what happened with this pregnancy. He took me into his office and read me a Bible verse in the Old Testament(He teased and said the New Testament is a codicil to God's Old Last Will and Testament, which is still in effect!). It said God knit babies together and knew every particle of their being even while they are in the womb. They are a gift from God to you and even with what we call imperfections, God says here they are perfectly and wonderfully made.

Don't know that that helps, but it sure helped me.
