cramping

 Hope all is well, newbaby!  Praying for you and your baby boy!

I hope u went in! It sounds like it in labour! When I had my 2nd ds I went to the hospital as I knew I was in labour and the nurse was like it 1 cm I said I dint care I'm not leavin and the baby was born within the hr - dr barely made it! Go in! Hope to hear a great update

You should go to the hospital honey! Back labor especially at your gestation can signal premature labor again. I wouldn't chance it! Praying for you!

Thinking of you, hope the contractions have stopped.

Just popping in for an update!  Did you go to the hospital??? Thinking of you!!!!

Stay put sweet baby boy, it's not quite time just yet!!!!

 

well i took everyone's advice and i called my doctor, she was working but another doctor was on call. she said go straight to labor and delivery. so i loaded up everything and went in. i told the nurse i wasn't feeling the cramping so much on top so that monitor wasn't going to pick them up at all. well i was wrong! it did pick them up even though i wasn't feeling them. the doctor came in ( remember this is a different doctor) and said i was a loose 3 but he could stretch me to a 4. so he stopped and they gave me lots of magnesium. which made me crazy. the lights hurt my eyes, noise ticked me off. people we're bugging me and i got very very hot. so they tried to make me comfortable then brought me muscle relaxers... omg can i just say i love muscle relaxers!!! i got very loopy. it felt like i was drunk. then i sang loudly or so the nurses told me. i didnt feel a darn thing after that.

    anyway they uped my meds. i go back to my ob on wednesday but as of now i feel ok and baby is still cooking. i just feel big. im measuing 5 weeks ahead ( its my 10th pregnancy) i live in maxipads as my cervix is gone and now i just leak cm and icky things all day. my breasts are leaking so i bought a bunch of breast pads so i stop messing up my bras. my back hurts, i have cramps, i feel like that gooey green glob from the star wars movies. thank  you again for all the kind wishes i will update wednesday. but i offically made it to my goal of 28 weeks!

What is the risk if u have baby Michael now at 28 weeks? Glad to hear u went in- I hope u can make it further than 28 weeks Jennifer! Thanks for the update - cook little Michael cook

Canadian, I think it goes from a 50/50 survival rate to something like 80% :) well done newbaby for getting so far, I'm really surprised they're not giving you any steroids but I guess each country doesn't itdifferently.... Praying that baby can maybe stay in just a week or 2 more but it looks like he wants to come and play with his sisters sooner rather than later... Thinking of you and sending hugs and prayers.

exactly right ruby. his chances of survial without long term issues jumps big time. before 28 weeks they are considered micro premies and prone to brain bleeds and other issues. after 28 weeks he would most likely be ok, its not set in stone or anything but odds our finally in our favor.

   in answer to a few questions i was given alot of steroids. as much as they dared to so i really can't have anymore they said. and i think someone asked about the fetel fibronetic test which test for early delivery. yes had that and i was positive for preterm delivery. we wanted a negative. if its negative its 90% you won't deliver early. mine was positive which just means the "glue" holding my sac in has started to come away. i have a 50% chance of delivering early. but so far its been 2 weeks since my positive and im still pregnant against all odds!

so glad to hear that the baby is still staying in. I really hope you can hang out another couple weeks.. but I think 28 weeks is definitely a good place to be compared to 26.. Each day more is soooo good!! I am really thinking of you and hope you can keep the baby in there longer!! So good you got it checked right away. Sorry your test was positive.. but 50% is good, I didn't realize that the number is so high in favor of possibly not going into labor. Hoping that is the case for you for sure! Rest as much as you can for real. I know you have young kids.. but you must try to just take it as easy as possible.
