Searching for hope

[NaeNae]

HI Ladies,

I guess I am looking for some glimmer of light in our current, very dark situation.

At 21.1 weeks into this pregnancy, I started to have contractions and discovered that my cervix was open to 4cm. Have been in hospital for 5 days on drugs to stop the uterus contracting which so far has been successful.

Our aim is to get to at least 23-24 weeks at a very minimun where bub will have a chance howver small it is, to survive on the outside.

Just looking for people who have been in similar circumstances who's bodies held on and delivered a bub at a later stage, or others that have been through without a positive outcome and from those I want to know how you coped losing your child.

Thanks all

Nae

Hi there, just wanted to say that I am thinking of you and wish you all the very best.

My lil man was born at 30wks after my membranes ruptured at 28wks, I know it's a different circumstance, but it is possible to hold on!

all the best

a friend of mine delivered her little boy at 24 weeks late last year. he was tiny, but he was a fighter - and is now home and doing well.

it's a scary situation - and will be a long and trying journey for you.

hoping you are ok and that your bubba hangs about in there for a hell of a lot longer!
