Update and delivery

ChenoaF

Just wanted to update everyone.I woke up to my water breaking on the morning of September 29th at 4:30 am. Because of this I was moved immediately from anti-partum to labor and delivery and was hooked up to magnesium around 5:30am in order to attempt to stop the contractions which were about 2 min apart but not very strong. I spent 12hrs on Mag and this reduced the contractions to about 10-12 minutes apart and not very strong. After the mag treatment ended at 5:30pm, I stayed stable for a few hours and by 10pm I began active labor. 

The contractions because amazingly strong and really close together and we were at 4cm by 1am. 

My little miracle, Sofia Isabella, was born September 30th at 3:01am! She was 25weeks5days gestation. She weighs 1lb9oz and 13.25 inches. We had a med free vaginal delivery and she came out kicking like crazy! 

She was breathing on her own immediately after birth for a few minutes but was put on a ventilator. This afternoon she was breathing strong and she was weaned off and is now on cpap and we are so grateful that our little one is truly a fighter! Please keep is in your thoughts and prayers as this is just the beginning of a emotional roller coaster for us in the NICU. I know that she's a strong little girl but she will def be put to the test!

Oh, wow!  I know she's much earlier than you would have chosen, but congratulations on the birth of your sweet little girl!  She sounds like a real fighter!  My cousins babies were born at 23 and 25 weeks old and are now 6 and 3 and doing great!  Her baby boy born at 25 weeks has no issues from being born so early!  I hope that Sophia does just as well!

Oh wow!  I'm so glad to hear you're okay and little Sofia is doing well!  You and I have the same due date, so this hits so close to home.  I can't imagine delivering right now and what you're going through, but I'm so, so glad that you two are okay.  I'm in Raleigh as well, so if you need anything, don't hesitate to PM me.
