It's too early! Guidance and reassurance please!

Thanks ladies. Called the hospital and am going in now. Just hope they'll let me come home again to see if I can go into labor spontaneously. Still feeling a bit disorganised and stunned but I figure that's bound to happen.

You've probably gone to the hospital already... but if it's any reassurance, I gave birth to my son at 36 weeks and he has done fine. I was told that babies born at 35 weeks generally do better and come out of hospital faster than those born at 36 weeks. We were in for 10 days, chances are good that your baby will be able to come home much quicker. It will all be ok. Good luck!

Hi KateBelleh,

My waters broke at 29 weeks. I was admitted straight in, given pink tablets to stop contractions and thhe steroids (for ds lung development). We spent just under 5 weeks in hospital and then our son was born just under 34 weeks. I had no gush just 4 days of trickle and thought it was weak bladder!

You are doing the right thing going to hospital.. At your dates your bub will be good on th lung front and the only risk woul be infection. i went 5 weeks and he had no infections... past 34 weeks is excellant as bub is for the main part fattening up :-)..

We spent i think another 4 or 5 weeks in hospital after, ds had a little oxygen but was mainly because he was tiny and tube fed until he could suck a little. a week in high dependancy and the rest in special care (thats in the NIC).

Ohh and my labour was so quick it was drug free. they encourage a vbirth..

best of luck

Just had text from Kat, she has been admitted to hospital for monitoring and will likely be there for a few days even if doesn't establish labour. Some mild intermittent contractions, expects to be meeting her little girl within the week and perhaps within the next 48 hours.

Good luck

Thats exciting although it would be good if bubs could stay tucked away for a little longer. I am sure all will be fine and bubs will come when the time is right.

Thanks for the update - she has been in my thoughts all day!
