Please Pray for my baby boy
I am 25 weeks pregnant today and last night I was addmitted to the hospital for pre-term labour as of right now the pills are doing their job and stopped the contraction and the bleed has almost stop. My hospital NICU is not equiped to handle a 25weeker so I am being sent to a hospital 5 hours away, so I have to do this alone because my husband HAS to work and take care of our three other child. We are hoping that I stay pregnant until at least 26wks so that I can come back to my town. The doctors make it seem that good chance he will be born this week though and I am so scared right now. Last year to the day (Sept 2ed) I went into pre;term labour and delivered my daughter at 18wks and she lived for 1hour and 36 mins, and I know I can not handle lossing another child. PLease please pray from my baby boy Leim......
I can completely understand your worries. It does sound like it is possibly a fluid leak. Even if your bag of waters isn't completely broken, you could have a tear or hole. Either way, as long as you stay well hydrated and are monitored for infection you can continue to go several more weeks. The contractions have stopped, so that's DEFINITELY a good thing. Every week that he stays in brings him that much close to full term and reduces his risks of complications.
Just take it easy,stay hydrated and alert them if you have ANY signs of infection. Sometimes with a small tear it's really hard for doctors to tell if you are leaking or not. Keep us posted. We're al keeping you and your little guy in our thoughts and prayers.

So finally have an update.. Yes I do have the steriod shots now and my contractions have completly stopped and no more red blood. I had an US this morning baby is measuring 1lb 10oz and about 25wks so about two days off from where he should be. Water levels look good on US but i will explain more in a min about the water thing. Cervical length is 2.7cm which the doctor is happy with and is closed so US was great today. But shortly after I had another little gushing feeling and showed my nurse and she tested my pad and the test was postive for fluids but they can not be postive that it was my water because it was the same pad from all day and if there is any urine at all it can cause it to be positive so we are waiting again if i have another gush then they are going in to test but right now they don't want to bother anything down there. But they did inform me that even if my water is leaking that i could go another 5 weeks as long as i don't get an infection so thats what i'm hoping for b/c i really feel like my water is broke b/c on thusday when everything happened and i was waiting for the ambulance i was postive i felt that lovely popping feeling and then fliud came out and the doctor said that there wasn't enough blood on my pad that would of made it feel like a gush, but i just don't understand why no doctor is listening to me about the whole water thing, I know its leaking but i feel because he is head down that he is kinda like a ckork and the only time anything leaks is when i can feel him move alot so i'm thinking when he moves his head water comes out. Sorry for being so long but i'm going crazy with worry.
dont trip sister:
If the pills have stopped the contractions your one step ahead of the baby.. I went into pre-term labor with my first son at 25 weeks as well, they gave me trebutaline and magnesium sulfate to stop the labor. It stopped my cervix form dialating but i had the contractions until 32 weeks when he was born. They gave my son shots of steroids to help his lungs develop and even though he was only 4 lbs he is now 8 yrs old, he is strong and healthy and super smart. He did have to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks until he hit 5 lbs and could go home, but, he was perfect.

You and Leim are in my prayers... I'm only 16wks and I pray everyday I have a successful 5mos after 7 m/c I know how scared you are... Hang in there :)
My heart goes out to you and your little guy. im getting ready for bed and i said a prayer for God to watch over you and your precious baby. im a firm believer in miracles...just stay positive and everything will work itself out.
I'm so sorry hun. I went into pre-term labor this time around at 25 weeks 6 days and they gave the shot to stop the contractions immediately and then a magnesium drip for 36 hours. I've been on Nifedipine every 6 hours since and I'm still contracting. Like you I was bleeding too but they couldn't find any reason for. I just hit 34 weeks yesterday and all is well. I am praying for the same outcome for you.
thinking of u and little man sweety hope all goes well.. im sending all my love and prayers xxxx
You're in our prayers. Hoping you and baby boy will be just fine. I'm so sorry your family can't be with you and the date that it is. But, as Ashelen said, I hope this day is a turn around day for you. Best wishes
Thoughts and prayers being sent your way. Fortunately you are past the 24 week mark for viability, but hoping this little guy hangs in there as long as he can.
Will definitely pray for you and your baby boy. Don't lose hope! Rest and take extra good care of yourself.
Hey, I too will include you n your baby in my prayers tonight. Don't worry, all will well.
I'm sorry you're having this scare..after what happened to you last year I know you're terrified. My heart and prayers are with you. I'm so sorry the anniversary of your daughter's passing has brought you so much extra terror and sadness, but maybe this is a day that will turn around the memories for you...maybe this is the day you get transferred to a hospital that will keep baby baking for many more weeks....
do whatever it takes to stay relaxed (i know, it's ridiculous to even type it but I hope somehow you can manage it)...message me if you need to talk or vent.

Don't loose hope! When I had pre-term labor they made it sound like I was lucky to make it another day everytime I saw them. Held out until exactly 39 weeks. I've seen a lot of people on here suffer pre-term labor and then have the baby after term. Ill keep you in my prayers that you and baby are safe.
Oh my im so sorry you have to go through this. I pray both you and baby will be fine. I found out last weekend my hospital only has a level 2 nicu and for any higher id be sent to san diego. Pray baby will stay put till next week so you can go home.
Ill pray for you and hope the baby holds out.. It would be so stressful being so far away from your family in this time of need... Try to stay as relaxed as possible and notify the nurses asap if anything starts to change..
I really hope things work out for you. Have they given you the steriods at this point? I know generally they wont give them until after 24 weeks.
