labor and delivery....

I'm at l&d due to tummy pains again... I'm dilated 2 cm and contractions.are 9 min apart. They are keeping me in giving me meds to stop labor.. got steroids for their lungs. Dr said if labor stops I will be here until I deliver and on strickt bed rest...
My boys are doing well. Heartbeats and everything are strong. Please send a prayer or 2... I'm scared I'm actually in labor... 30 weeks is too soon...

I've been away for a while, just thought I would check to see if you were still in the hospital and if you had the babies yet. I have a long way to go, at about 7 weeks now. Having nausea constantly. but so worth it. well i hope you have a great day !

I'm still getting the kicks. She is breech so she is trying to use my bladder for a soccer ball....when she doesn't aim straight down...good to know. I will be excited to not have those random hits. Rolling sounds like less pain.

Happy to hear things are on the mellow side :)  Yep Flickan its something you can expect. As baby gets bigger they run out of room so they can really kick anymore so they just roll and push mostly. Mine loves to stretch out and it'll feel like she's gonna push right threw my skin when she does it.

You ladies are awesome you know that?
I'm sorry I've been away for a bit
Been catching up on sleep when I can. I'm well rested now :-)
Contractions have stopped but dilated to 3 cm so I'm stuck here until d day. Everything is going great other than that. the staff here is amazing with allowing my son to come and visit me everyday. We get to have our dinner together and part of his homework. Babies are rolling now. No more hard kicks.

Everything is OK for now. They are keeping me until I deliver.But Dr was talking about pulling the babes at 35 weeks or so depending how I'm holding up. They have me on them anti contraction meds now again
They took me off for a little bit and sure enough they started again. I'm not quite 3 cm. Dilated and about 70% effaced. This is going to be a very long stay ladies...  oh and I'm on a horrible diet since I failed the glucose test... don't have diabetes but I am hypoglycemic....

Oh Emma!! How scary. Ill be praying for you. I'm so glad to hear your contractions are slowing way down.  At this point, even though your boys would have a long haul, they should be fine. Just take it week by week at this point. At this stage a lot happens with their development in a week and there are so many resources available to babies born this early. You guys will be fine. I believe someone upstairs must have some pretty big and special plans for you. You're a strong woman!!

I've got that same feeling! I'm gonna blame their father for that since I'm an angel haha.
They have me on a stronger dose of anti contraction meds. That's should stop them I hope...

So glad to hear contractions are stopping. I have a feeling you're gonna have two fiesty little boys with how they are already giving you a hard time :)   Hopefully the nurses will give you some peace and you can get some sleep.
