I just read this thread from the beginning and my tears of sadness have thankfully turned into tears of joy! I am keeping everything crossed for this little man to stay put for longer.
Thinking of you & your friend

You women are amazing

My friend can't believe that so many people who have never even spoken to her are praying for her, its really given her strength!

Nothing eventful today, which is great news

**onthefly** · December 3rd, 2009, 09:02 PM

Oh, I missed the news! Hang in there little one

**MantaRay** · December 3rd, 2009, 09:04 PM

I am so pleased that there's good news. Every day will make a difference. Friends of ours have a healthy 3yo who was born at 24 weeks.

I am keeping your friend in my thoughts and prayers.

I hope all is going really well with your friend, is she still in hospital or was she able to come home? I really hope she is able to find some peace and enjoyment for the rest of her pregnancy, I can only imagine how difficult it must be for her and her family at this time, it sounds as though she has wonderful support around her

She's still in hospital, but doing well. A bunch of her other friends went and visited her on Friday night and washed her hair, shaved her legs, gave her a mani/pedi and made her wear a fake tiara! We're gonna make it a weekly event, to celebrate each week bub stays in!

On another note, her friends went to give her a bit of a pamper, but they found out that she hadn't been washed THE WHOLE TIME SHE'S BEEN IN!!

6 days she's been lying in that bed, leaking fluid, crying, stressing herself out, and the nurses never even gave her a bed bath! She said she felt human again once the girls had finished, poor thing.

Sounds like such a wonderful idea giving her a mini freshen up etc. Not nice the nurses didn't give her a bed bath before now thats a long time to go without a freshen up. Great that they are keeping her on bedrest however. Praying its doing the trick and her son is growing quickly.

So happy to hear things are looking up. She's got great friends

**onthefly** · December 7th, 2009, 06:17 PM

Thank goodness for good friends!

**Jas** · December 7th, 2009, 08:40 PM

Oh the poor thing! I hope one of her friends have said something to make sure that doesn't happen again! Does she have a partner that could say something for her or give her a bed bath?

I am glad everything is going well and that is lovely of her friends, keep us updated!

Adding my

for your friend and her baby. What a terrible time she has had.

Stick tight, little one! And hooray that she has you and such good friends to keep an eye on her and give her support - love the tiara and in bed pamper! Big kisses for you all xxxxxx

I am so glad that your friend has some gorgeous friends who went in and gave her a wonderful pampering, I bet she felt a million dollars afterwards. I am horrifed that she was left for 6 days

that is just terrible

So glad bub is still being a sticky one, we want to hear of many many more weeks of baking, every day in the belly is worth 3 in NICU, so much much better to be still safely inside xxoo

Wow what a turn of events, my heart was breaking for them yesterday and now what a great change! Best wishes and heart felt prayers for your friend and bubba.

**Tiff+2** · December 8th, 2009, 01:05 PM

I've only just seen this thread... My goodness your poor friend I couldn't imagine how she is feeling right now, but I am so glad bub has decided to stay in there a bit longer! I pray bub stays in there at least a few weeks longer.

That is terrible the nurses haven't given her a bath, the poor women has enough to deal with right now she could at least feel human and have a nice relaxing wash to make her feel a little better. I really do hope that when all of this is over with she puts in a formal complaint because that shouldn't happen!!!

Wishing her all the very best, her and bub are in my prayers.
