Decided to Labor at Home...

[mom2beagain]

Well after trying my hardest. It doesn't look like my little one is going to make it to the 24 week mark. My cervix reopened last night and started leaking fluid again. All this after my waters broke before Christmas. Our doctor was completely honest in telling us that there is nothing they can do before the 24 week mark. They won't even try. I am in the early stages of labor right now. I'm dilated to a 2, and contracting every 3 minutes. Husband and I decided that we would labor at home and go to the hospital when it gets closer to that time. We were in the ER yesterday, and they refused to do anything, as I am not far enough along. I truly hope that others understand. We have been through so much during this pregnancy and the hospital rules here are that they can not help a baby who is before the 24 week mark. If by some miracle we give birth to a baby girl who is breathing, they are not going to help her at all. I just think at this point in time, as depressed as I am, and knowing what I am entering in to, I would like to be comfortable at home as long as I possibly can be. I will keep everyone updated. God be with us.

Oh, no, this is a tragedy, is there not another hospital that is equipped for very premature babies that can help her? My thoughts are with you and sorry this is happening.

how awful i really feel for you - it sounds like you have accepted the decision that they wont interfere. its so awful how only a few weeks can make such a difference. I try to look on things in the mind that perhaps they werent meant to be

I get terrified every day of this happening and wouldnt wish it on another person ever x

I am so sorry you are going through this!! Everyday I checked in and had hoped for you a better outcome. I think that now you have accepted what is happening being in the familiar is the best.A million go out to you and your family and many prayers. God be with you !!

No for everyone that asked. There is not another hospital. This hospital is the 'baby' hospital in the area. The only one that has a NICU and the only one that deals with high risk pregnancy. They are basing this from a medical stand point, they will not do anything before 24 weeks, period.

I can't believe they won't do a thing, I can't imagine the heartbreak at hearing those words. I'm so sorry
