Help! Water just broke :(

[Della12]

27 weeks with a boy,  had my normal routine check yesterday all was perfectly healthy. He weight ahead and over 1kg already. But this morning 3hours ago my water just broke :( gushes and gushes. I'm in hospital now but don't know what to expect. Dr says will do injections soon and hopefully he holds out a few more weeks. Dr says there is an 80% chance of labour in the next 48 hours.  Please pray I hope not. I hope my boy is strong and will be a fighter.  Any hope for us?  Any inspirational stories similar please?

My daughter was born at 25 weeks. No reason for it.  She stayed in the NICU for a long time.  They have probably already given you steroids for his lungs and hopefully he'll stay in for a few more weeks.  But if he comes early you have to stay strong.

This is not going to be easy but you need to be positive for him.  He'll fight but it's not an easy battle to see.  27 weeks is good, but watching it is hard.

It's going to be a rollercoaster, but eventually he'll grow and develop.  Ask lots of questions! Find a preemie support group.  Spend time as much time with him as you can (again, it's not going to be easy to see).  Pump breast milk if your body is able.

I wish you and your son all the luck in the world.  If you want, please feel free to ask me anything, I've been there.

BTW, my daughter is now 2 and totally fine.  There are happy outcomes!

Thank you do much ladies,  the support truly news do much to me.  Not being able to cuddle him for so long and seeing him like that is heartbreaking. But we have faith,  we have prayer groups and support that he will pull through. We accept this challenge with God.  His currently getting treatment for Jaundice and is coping well on the ventilation. I will check up again on him soon. Xxxx

Keeping him in my prayers. He's gonna be just fine let's speak it into existence!

God is able to give and perform miracles. Pray over your baby ask if he can hear you. Sing him a lullaby. I pray with all of my being that baby will pull thru. God is with you and baby right now. Be strong for him and you. Please keep us updated. I know it will be awhile but we are here and concern.

Good luck mama, stay strong!  He's a fighter!  Ask LOTS of questions.  If you're not sure or don't understand, ask until you do!  Knowledge is power!!

Update: started getting heavy contractions from 6pm last night,  hot heavier by 12 midnight on new years. They tried their best to stop the contractions. By 3am nurse checked and said I am 9cm dilated!!! So we rushed and called Dr to come in,  he was here in about 15mins, the nurses still wanted to prep me for a cesarean,  but my Dr felt and said it's too late for that cause can already feel his head and I'm completely dilated. So they quickly prepped me,  wasn't time for any pain stuff at all. I had to give my first push at about 4am, Dr then gave me a quick injection or two down there and I could feel him cut,  although it was numb down there from the injections. I gave another two pushes and his head was out,  controlled my breathing as I was struggling a bit in the beginning was all over the place and I never expected myself to ever come in a situation where I had to endure labour pains and go naturally instead of my preferred cesarean.  So once his head was out I gave another big push or two and he was out!  Miracle tiny angel cried immediately which was a good indication for us being so premature that he has fighter lungs and hopefully the steriod injections helped a bit. I couldn't see him really they immediately had to take him to nicu to prep him on all the machines for safety.  He was born 4:15am on new years.  Was only due 17 March,  so he is quite premature,  but the pediatrician is satisfied so far with his progress,  his blood pressure,  heart rate and all. His on a ventilator for now and we need to get his weight up. He weighs 1.1kg, and is about 37-38cm. So such a tiny miracle. Please pray for his fighting battle,  the Dr said it's not going to be easy,  there will be good times and bad times but we will get through it. Now it's up to little one and God to fight the fight. We not allowed to touch him,  we can look through the Lil wrapped box and everything tied to him. I'm praying that he gets stronger quickly and picks up Weight quick. I think we only allowed to hold or touch him once he reaches 1.8kg. Bless this child and everyone else. P. S- I AM SO GLA,  that I did a normal delivery and not cesarean in the end,  it did go past relatively quick and I'm sure the healing process is faster too I hope. I can get up and walk around and go see him etc. So that's a good sign

I remember when I was pregnant with my second son my water broke at 30 weeks n I had to be on hospital bedrest until I was 34weeks.. good luck

[amarie0082]

My water broke at 32 weeks and I kept him in until 34 when they induced me.  (Pros outweighed the cons at that point).  They won't induce you at 29 weeks, but I am sure you could keep him in another couple weeks at least. Have they given you Magnesium Sulfate?  It holds off labor.  Best of luck.  Keep us updated.
