Thank you all so much for your kind wishes & prayer. Each & every post has touched me.
Thanks Csab for creating this thread & also Ren for keeping everyone updated.
My waters broke at 4am on Wednesday. I rang the hospital (Pindara) & they told me to come straight in. They put me on the CTG to check bubs HR, which is fine, & see if there were any contractions. There wasn't. The Ob did an internal & a swab & confirmed it was my waters. I was transferred, by ambulance, up here to Brisbane as they specialise in premmie bubs. I had another huge water break at 1am this morning, like a flood, but the med staff aren't concerned as they were clear, & I still have no labour signs at all.
I have been allocated an Obstetrician who has basically said that if I go into labour before Saturday they will stop it, to give time for the steriods to work but if I go after Saturday they'll deliver him. The Ob at Pindara said I'll be lucky to last 2 weeks & definately won't last to 37. DH & I are ok with it all. There is a 95% survival rate after 30weeks & it just means our bub will be two months behind on all his milestones.
I was so so so not ready but know we will cope. We have lots of great support & thankfully my Sydney baby shower was a hit. We had 30 people there & literally got everything we needed. DH even set up the cradle on Tueday.
I will be here in Brisbane until I deliver the baby or I hit 34weeks. Pindara will take us back at 34 weeks where bub will stay till he's strong enough to go home. I will have to go to the hospital every 4 hours to feed him. If I give birth here, then I will find a hotel room close by until they transfer him back to Pindara.
I will keep you all updated as things progress.
And once again, thank you all so much for your support. Please keep it coming
