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...

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!!
