Hospitalized bedrest?

Question

Hello! I'm 27 weeks today... due Feb 21st. I went into preterm labor last Sunday and I've been in the hospital since. The plan is to stay until delivery which could be any day or a few months from now.

Is anyone else experiencing something similar? This isn't easy, especially since I have 3 kids at home. 😧 it would be nice to know I'm not the only one. Anyone?

Answer

I'm experiencing contractions now. I'm 28 weeks exactly. Comtractions started out 1 hr apart and now they are more like 10-15. I called OB. She said to drink more water and see if that helps.

I had my first daughter at 29 weeks due to HELLP syndrome.. This baby is severe IUGR, I also have low fluid, and now her cord dopplers are abnormal.. I've been on modified bed rest at home for 3 weeks, I've been admitted once to rule out preeclampsia and they tried to keep me longer but everything was normal and I have a 3 year old so I really wanted to be home.. I'm 27 weeks but the baby is only measuring about 22-23 weeks so she's too small to survive.. Once she's big enough, I'll be admitted until delivery 😞 probably either this Tuesday or next week! Also at a huge risk of still birth so hoping she can hang on a little longer 😞

Answer

29 weeks and have been having preterm labor for months now. I'm on bed rest at home thankfully. I still have two other kids to take care of. This will be my last baby.

Answer

This pregnancy I'm on bedrest at home. My first pregnancy I was on hospital bedrest until my son was born at 24 weeks.

Answer

I'm 27 weeks as well, my OB is monitoring me for preterm labor due to a shortened cervix. They've been doing ultrasounds every week, she has not put me on bed rest yet but said no sex or exercise! If my cervix measures much shorter in the next few weeks they want to put me in the hospital to monitor more closely for a few days.

Preterm labor is scary, best of luck!
