Thoughts & Prayers for SIL
My SIL is 25 weeks and a few days pregnant with a girl. She was feeling pressure yesterday and went upstairs to her OB (she's an RN and was at work). Her OB admitted her as she was dialated and was having contractions, which were 1.5 minutes apart. My SIL said she had some lower back pain a couple of nights ago, but she works 3-11 and just figured she was tired from being on her feel and was a normal pregnancy thing. Her OB gave her a shot in her leg to help mature the baby's lungs and started her on magnesium. The first bag her contractions decreased to 9 minutes apart and by the end of that bag and the second bag they had increased to 3 minutes. OB said no more work! She has 10 weeks PTO, but that was supposed to be for after the baby was born. The contractions have stopped as of this morning and the doctors hadn't checked her to see if she had dialated anymore. The Baby Kaitlyn's heartbeat has remained in the 130s. I know it's a good sign that the contractions have stopped and maybe the magnesium did what it was supposed to. Please keep my SIL and my brother in your thoughts and prayers!
