Nae "hug" I was in the NICU with a beautiful lady who delivered her bub at 29 weeks, after going into labor and dilating at 19wks. They put in a stitch and she was on complete bed rest. All the best
NaeNae, big hugs from me too hun. It must be so scary for you. A friend of mine has a healthy, thriving 2yo who was born at 24w+2, so miracles do happen. Her premmie labour was sudden and unexpected so no time for steroid shots, which I'm guessing you've had. So there is always hope. Just try to take one day at a time and hang in there. We will be thinking of you and praying for the best.
My friend went into labour at 20wks and although I don't know the full story, I do know that the Dr's were able to stop it (she was in hospital for a bit too) and then she was able to deliver at around 34weeks so still early but not as early as it could have been and her little boy is now a healthy 10mth old boy.
I wish you all the very best what a scary time for you and your partner
Nae just letting you know i am thinking of you and hoping your baby can stay inside for as long as possible. the hopsitals are so well equipt now to do everything to stop your labour progressing but to also giving your little one the best fighting chance if he/she is to come too early.
each day is going to make a huge difference so try and take each day as it comes. and as holly mentions Lil aussie prems has lots of helpful information and support in relation to premature babies if u get a chance to have a look
please keep us updated.
A friend of mine had the same thing - she had a stitch in and complete bed rest from 24 weeks as the babys foot came out! Her baby girl is now just over 1 year old and has recently started walking, and everyone in our church group dotes on her!
I know its really easy to say and NOT so easy to do, but try not to stress yourself out. Stay calm, relax your body AND mind, and try and enjoy the remainder of your pregnancy. I don't know you, so I don't know if you're normally a very active person, but when I was stuck in bed for a while - back injury, not pregnancy - I taught myself how to crochet and knit. Now I make lil outfits and blankets for friends as they add to their families, and at the time I know it saved my sanity. Even scrapbooking would be useful - we always have boxes of photos that we'll get around to 'one day'!!
And tell DH to get you a laptop so you can keep in touch, and remember that every single woman here is cheering you and Bubble on :goodluck2:
