Becca_Anne Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I wanted to let everyone know that I am in the hospital. My water broke 12:30 on Tues evening but I am not in labor. I'm 32 wks along and they are trying to get Ben's lungs mature enough that if I go into labor he will have a better chance. I got the second steroid shot this morning so in 24 hrs he will have gotten the most benefit from that. If I have not delivered by Apr 9 they will induce me because that is the point the benefit of staying in is outweighed by the complications that could develop. I am on antibiotics to stave off infection. U/S yesterday shows he's 4 lb 7 oz and doing well and his strips on the monitor are reassuring. I am doing o.k. I have a lot of support from my fellow nursing students and I am on bed rest in the unit where I do my clinicals so I have the benefit of the nurses knowing me and I feel comfortable here and well supported. The level 3 NICU is just down the hall. I have my computer at the hospital so I am can keep everyone updated. If I don't post here and someone sees my updates on Facebook it's o.k. to post them here <3 Link to comment
TurtleMama Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Sweetie, I will be praying furiously for you and Ben -- especially that his lungs will have time to be assisted by the medication. Praying for a healthy, though tiny, sweet boy! Please let us know if you want us to pray for anything specifically, okay? Link to comment

Cat Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 **Joining the prayer circle** Also prayers for the family at home. I know your kids are probably responsible enough for the most part, but Moms are the oil that helps everything run more smoothly. Strength and patience for Dad, too! Link to comment
mommato3boys Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Geezzzz what is going on are the planets out of alignment or the moon and sun switch places? We have a dear friend undergo an emergency c-section on Monday. Her baby was born 10 weeks early weighing 2lbs 2oz and 14 1/2 inches long. Baby Abby is doing great, the doctors said she is a normal baby just tiny. Becca-Anne we are praying that all goes well for you and little Ben. Link to comment
