FWIW, Zander's godmother had the same thing happen in January. Bub stayed put for another week before contractions started. He was in NICU for a week then SCN for four weeks before going home a healthy little man.
Georgi just text me now and said.... "statistically I should go into labour within 5-7 days but i just wanna wait til next tues at least..... i'll be 32wks then. Bub will transfer back to Pindara Hospital @ 34wks....." (Pindara don't take babies less than 34wks hence why she is in brisbane)
With her laptop i'm sure she'll be able to touch base and let us know how she's going if she's feeling up to it..... at the moment she said she has accepted her baby will be here early and she's feeling okay considering....
Poor Georgi, i've probably harrassed her all day with text messages as i have so many questions for her.... hehe i'll have to save them for when i see her Saturday.
I Hope everything goes well for you... I had a bleed with Alexa @ 30wks & she didnt grow for the next 2 weeks, so she was born @ 32+4 weeks... We also had steroid injections....
She is now a 2 1/2 year old & has the best set of lungs I have ever heard!!!!
I hope that the time in NICU is not too long... (Wef were in or 6 1/2 weeks, had feeding issues which kept us in a bit longer.... lazy lil tart liked the NGT feeds cause they were easier for her LOL)
My Advise to you though is ... Take as many pics of your wee premie as you soon forget how little they were (I wish I had of taken more photos!!!)... Just keep that camera clicking!!!
Well I had a shocking sleep again last night. I kept waking up to every trickle wondering whether there would be another big gush. Although I filled a pad, I didn't have another big water break.
Still no signs of labour.
The antibiotics I am taking make me feel sick & weary.
I have written all about my water breaking experience, thus far, in my blog if anyone wants to, or has the time (it's long) to read it.
Good luck, Georgi - I've only just discovered this thread. Glad you're somewhere that provides such great care. Hope your bub holds on as long as possible - must be keen to try out all his new things! 30 at your baby shower! How lovely!
Take care, Georgi and soak up all the positive vibes winging their way to you from all us BB-ers!
Hey Georgi,
Keep your chin up,
I know it can be a horrible to be stuck in hospital and especially with the onset of labor due to coming knocking at anytime.
Takecare and look after yourself, we're all thinking of you!
