High Risk Pregnancy ~ General Discussion and Support

[crumpet]

Now I am 24 weeks I am aiming to get to 28 weeks, and then 30 weeks. 28 weeks has some really good leaps in terms of development so there are some big pluses getting past that point. Even though there is no guarentee with any prems... I think my OB's aim was to get us past 24 weeks and as close or into the 30's, she said from very early on I won't make it to term, as did another High Risk OB, so the aim hasn't been as far at 37 weeks, would be fab to prove everyone wrong, but I feel that body isn't going to let that happen, atm the moment I feel that 28 weeks seems so far away... I think once we get on top of the BH's and the dosages right hopefully things will settle.

i think 28 weeks is a good start, its not to far hun 4 weeks u can do it!!

u have done so well to get to 24! ill be rapt to pass 24, its another little milestone to hit....

how much nefedipine have they got u on now?

Each tablet is 20mg, it is a slow release form so takes 1-2 hours to work, but lasts longer, but my OB said we may have to switch it to a quicker acting dose and up the dosage if it isn't keeping them at bay, which is my feeling, I didn't expect them to ramp up so much this week though, so was more than happy with the initial dosage, but it isn't taking the edge off enough I think.

oh ok....

i think they had me on 2 x 20mg in hospital but i cant remember how often it was now.... maybe 4 hrly and if i was going ok then they would stretch it out....

its good it can be adjusted accordingly.....

hope u have been able to rest a bit....
