Hellobee Boards

She is SO adorable, but I'm sorry you are on bedrest!

I had hospital bed test at 28 weeks for pprom. LO came between 30 and 31 weeks. He is a giant, thriving 3yo with precisely zero health issues, cute and smart and delightful. We had a month in the NICU and some reflux to manage at home. Best of luck!

Hugs! This sounds scary, but they caught it early and baby is still doing great, so hopefully everything will be fine. Much love to you and baby!

It sounds like you are getting excellent care. Hang in there, mama, and tell that cutie pie to keep on baking!

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. I went into my 32 week appt and found that my cervix had shortened considerably (I can't remember the exact #s now, but I was having regular cervical measurements because I was pregnant with twins). I was also contracting, but didn't realize it (I thought it was cramps). I was sent to the hospital for a few days to get steroid shots for the babies' lungs and be monitored. They were able to stop the contractions which, in turned, stopped the shortening of my cervix (luckily I had not started dilating). I was put on oral meds and bedrest at home. I stayed on bedrest for 6 weeks and ended up having to be induced! I really hope you have such a successful outcome with your sweet baby girl. Sending lots of good thoughts your way!

I wasn't on hospital bed rest, but I was on home bed rest from 28 weeks to 37 weeks (DS arrived exactly at 37 weeks). It was definitely hard, but we managed. Hugs and positive thoughts are being sent your way! Let me know if there are any questions I can answer for you!

I was on hospital bedrest for pre-term labor and bleeding. DS made it all the way to 39 weeks (when he was subsequently evicted). It is incredibly scary -- will be thinking about you! I was on Procardia after I was released from the hospital (10 day stent).

No experience, but sending well wishes that that sweet baby keeps baking a little longer.

A friend of mine had an incompetent cervix, which I think is different than a short cervix, but she was hospitalized for awhile and put on bedrest. She had a happy ending. The baby was born full term and both mother and baby were healthy. She had a 2 year old at home so it was tough while it was happening, though. Hang in there!

No experience, other than a LO born at 34 weeks. Hope your LO keeps cooking and you get to go home for your bed rest!

@jaguar: She was born at 3lbs 6oz and 17 inches at exactly 30 weeks, which sounds like it is great! And now at about 10 days after she was born she is up over 4 lbs.

I'm hoping you have a lot of boring time on your hands over the next few weeks and we'll all be here to keep you company!!

No experience, but I'm sorry you're going through this, and wish you and adorable baby girl all the best.

No experience, but hugs and good wishes. Your baby is beautiful and I hope she stays in there for awhile longer!

Sorry to hear this, i had a short cervix (~2cm) had to take the progesterone suppositories from 25 weeks on, was hospitalized at 29 weeks with a bad bleed. I got steroids shots then. They let me go home on modified bed rest. i stopped suppositories at 34 weeks which is when they saw my cervix length at about 0.75cm. they still only put me on modified bed rest, as they said they would deliver if the baby came anytime after 34 weeks. but i made it to 38 weeks somehow. hope shes able to make it a bit longer!!

So sorry you have to deal with this on top of the long journey you've been on to get that little lady growing. she is a fighter just like her mum though and she will be great. hang in there lady we are rooting for you and your sweet girl!

@jaguar: I am so sorry to see this!! I hope that little lady keeps baking! Sounds like you all have a wonderful plan for this little one. I will be thinking about you guys. Feel free to message me here on my wall or friend me on FB. I am a stay at home momma and I am open to chat.
