Bed Rest

[PrettyDMommy2B]

I'm 25 weeks and I'm having a boy. Ive been admitted in the hospital on bed rest. My cervix ephased .9 and I'm dilated 2 centimeters. I've been given a fetal lung development shot to help my baby's lungs develop faster. Has anyone been through this too? I'm nervous because I'm high risk for preterm labor. Any advice?

I'm only 12 weeks and on bed rest and getting the steroid shoot  with the contraction pills because I had my 1st baby at 21 weeks soo now they are considering this pregnancy high risk.): && I am soo scared to lose my baby again.

Yes good luck to you too! Those steroid shots HURT! Lol i kept having to tell myself its for my baby to make sure he can breathe when i had to get the second shot lol xD but now suddenly i rarely get any contractions so im reallly hoping he stays in:) my doc.says as he gets heavier tho it could cause me to go into labor:/ sigh

Yeah I've been on bed rest since 20 weeks. I had to receive a surcloge at 20 weeks. I'm just hoping for the best and Im hoping for the best for u too! Bed rest is tough, but we will get through it!! I get my second lung development shot today!!!

A friend of mine had her water break at 33 weeks. So further along than where you are at. However, she was admitted to a hospital with a NICU had two lung development shots and they stopped her labor for almost a week. Her daughter was born 5 lbs and is now fantastic. She did awesome right away. They did hook up an iv through the babys head to help with some needed medications. Sounds like you are in the best place you can be given the situation. Keep positive! Best of luck!
