Pregnancy after our preemies support thread!

[cleckner04]

Hey ladies! :wave: I'm just popping in on behalf of mummy3. She said her internet connection is slow in the hospital so hasn't had a chance to get online to update on here. So I figured I'd update everyone so you aren't worrying or wondering.

First of all, baby is still tucked safely in her tummy! And she's still at 3cm. They are done with the mag sulfate and are now letting nature takes it's course. It did it's job and stalled the contractions a bit but she says she is still getting contractions off and on. The doctors have decided they won't be stopping the labor after this point. They did manage to get the last of the steroid shots to her as well so that's good news! They are now debating between letting her go home to wait it out, or stay in the hospital. I know mummy is VERY sick of being there. She was also told she's currently anti-diabetic so they put her on a high sugar, high calorie diet. She's happy about the cakes she gets to eat but has had enough of the cheeseburgers.

That's about it for now. I'll update anytime I know more.

Hope Amys ok!

 

[mummy3]

I'm ok! Still stuck in the hospital, but really hoping they will let me out to bedrest at home. Cervix is stalled at 3cm, 80% which is great for Eilidh but I'm telling you I'll buy shares in tena lady

The diet is pretty cool lol, my glucose tolerance test came back with a reading of 52 after fasting so lots of sugar, lots of protein and already high cal Does mean regular finger pricks though.

Sandi, any sign of labour after the other night? Sorry about your MIL!

Nic, so glad your stitch went well and you're home with Lakai. Your attitude is amazing

Loving the hair wish I was as brave, Alex has grown up so much how she getting on now?
Can't believe your nearly full term

Dunno, shes happy and shouty just now... but shes had a snottery nose, drank (going on) 6 beakers of milk now (normally she struggles 3-4) and coughs a lot, almost puking, at one time she did. The dummies are out now to help her!!!

Be braaaaaaave hun!!! What was the care like last time?
Alex is doing grand, no talking though and close to walking but still not got brave enough! We have a neonatal appointment at the end of the month(will we make it, i dunno ) so we'll see what they think of her progress.
