    Yep, bubba's staying in, she hasn't lost any more fluid, hasn't had any more contractions etc. I tell you, I didn't expect this story to have a happy ending, but it has!

    I just saw this thread. I'm soo glad your friend's bubba is staying put! My aunt went through the same thing at 19 weeks and they couldn't stop the labour. Her DD only lived for 1 hour, so I'm so glad that someone else is getting this miracle and their baby is sticking in there!

    Sending prayers their way!

    She'll be 24 weeks tomorrow, and she's looking forward to an u/s today, to check on bub. Apparently the doc thinks bub is big by the way she's measuring, which everyones pleased with - hopefully he'll be okay even if he's born early

    That is wonderful positive news SG.

    I pray that she makes it many more weeks, as every day in the belly tends to count as 3 in NICU, size is a big help, but there are so many other factors that come into the equation.

    24 weeks is a HUGE milestone, and I hope we get to celebrate many more with you SG as your friend bakes her precious little bundle.

    I hope that she is being treated better too byt the hospital staff, it was terrible to hear how little they had been helping her

    Sending long baking vibes xxoo
