In hospital on bed rest at 24 weeks......

you poor thing having to drag Charlie away... but in context all is still well. thinking of you all. xxx

How are you going hun, it must be so hard for you going back and forth all the time, and how is Charlie coping, poor little munchikin :(

If there is anything I can do let me know, is there anything that Sally would like to do to keep her busy, books, magazines, cross stitch...? Big :hug: :hug: :hug: for all of you xxoo

Thinking of you and hoping that bubba can stay put for a while longer yet.

:hug: to you all and to little Charlie. Hopefully the next 10 weeks fly by very uneventfully and Charlie is so happy that his new baby brother brings Mummy home that they'll be best friends for life!

as hard as this time is for you guys you know how worth it will all be to get a lot further along in the pregnancy.
1 day at a time and you guys are almost to 25weeks so i hope things stay safe.
Thinking of you guys

Just wanted to send some sticky vibes your way. Hoping your little man can hang in there longer

Thinking of you guys!!!

Thinking of you both xox :hug:

hey thought i would pop in and send some sticky vibes, thinking of you all. Xx

I know she has made it to 25 weeks, keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers :hug:

Hey Guys it Sally here (tummy mummy),

Sal is the one who normally posts on here but as l have the computer in hospital with me she has not been able to and l know you have all been wondering what is going on with us.

I wanted to firstly say we are still here (25 weeks today)!!! Then l wanted to thank you all for your love and support as my beautiful family go through this very scary time as we prepare for our second NICU journey.

Things are seeming to go along nicely. Very uneventful so far which is wonderful. I haven't had any leaks since Monday and no pains at all which is promising. I am on hospital bedrest but can sit in the chair in the corner, shower & toilet, and sit/lie on my bed.

I am fine - coping well with the hospital stay - just missing my family like crazy. Its good that l enjoy my own company - l haven't had a chance to be bored yet am quite enjoying my quiet time - just wish that l could play with Charlie if l have that much spare time!!!! I think Sal would definately be going stir crazy by now - she gets bored a lot quicker than l do so its lucky that she is looking after Charlie and not here. I feel so lucky to have her in my life she is an amazing wife and mumma and l know that Charlie is in really good hands with her - just wish she wasn't having to behave like a single parent at the moment and look after Charlie on her own and deal with the stress of having me in here.....

I am going to have another ultrasound next week if l am still here to check the cervical length. Just hoping and praying for some more time..... Had a bad day yesterday when the head of Neonatology came to speak to me. Told me the complications we would be looking at if the baby came in the next week or so. I know the 28 week journey and know that it is much better than 24-28weeks so we have been focusing on getting to 28 weeks. I hadn't really thought about much else other than wanting to get to 28 weeks. Now l can't stop thinking of the complications we might face if our baby arrives before 28weeks.

All l want is to bring our baby home - l know there is a chance that we might not, l didn't think l could cope with a disability prior to now, but l know that as long as he comes home we will cope with anything else.

Keep thinking of us and praying for our goal of 28 weeks. Once we get there we can hope for longer but at the moment, each day l wake up pregnant l am happy and every week l will be ecstatic.

Congratulations Sal on making it to 25 weeks! Glad to hear that you are having such an uneventful hospital stay. Lets hope bub stays tucked away for a long while yet.

Rest up & stay strong Hun xx

Congratulations on 25 weeks :hug: You are doing so well. Hoping and praying for 28 weeks xx

:crossfingers: for another three weeks at least, and hopefully longer. Hope you are getting plenty of reading and relaxing done!

Thinking of Sally at home with Charlie as well. What a difficult time for you both atm. :hug:

Thinking of you guys, and praying for another few weeks at least.
:hug:

Positive news first....


:happyforyou: 26 WEEKS TODAY!! :happyforyou:

Unfortunately, we had our scan today showing the cervix has halved in size again. Only 8mm between baby and the outside world... eeek! So, hanging out for another two weeks and then we see what happens.
Stay in there as long as you can little boy, we love you!

Wooo Hooo for 26 weeks!!!! :happyforyou:

:( for the shortening cervix :cry:

Are you on more stict bed rest now? get your bum in the air to keep bubs inside!!
Have you had any ctx? Or are you on meds to stop them?
:hug: have been thinking of you all quite regularly, thinking everyday you are getting through is one you don't have to spend with bubs in NICU.
Take care hun xxoo
