Emergency c-section at 28 weeks; 12 weeks early!

i went into pre-term labor over the weekend, and the dr's were able to stop labor 2 times, before i was fully dilated and delivered via emergency c-section on wednesday.  

on wednesday morning, i was told i'd be on hospital bed rest until my due date.  on wednesday night, i had given birth to a  strong and beautiful daughter.   

it's still a shock...  feeling a bit overwhelmed, and not sure what to expect for the future!  we will figure it out... and we've got a strong, supportive team behind us.

she was 2 lbs, 6ozs at birth.  thank god for NICU teams and the amazing work they will continue to do for her estimated 12 week stay.

  • Welcome and congrats!  Glad to hear you have a strong little girl! 

    I had to have an emergency c-section at 32 weeks, due to my complications, but due to IUGR, my son was only a few ounces bigger than your DD.  He did amazing though, and came home 16 days before his due date...I hope for the same for your daughter!!

  • I went through the same thing in March. Perfectly normal pregnancy until BAM! Water broke at home at 27 weeks and 5 days. Water broke at 5pm, drove to first hospital, 1 steriod shot and meds to stop contractions, he was breech and I was 2 cm dialated, air care to level 1 trauma center. When we got there, we were first told it would be hospital bed rest until at least 34 weeks. Tried magnesium. Doctor said I would probably deliver within 24 to 48 hours. Next thing you know, I'm being wheeled to the OR and put under. He was born at 10:24 PM, so less than 6 hours after my water broke. He was 2 lbs 11 oz. I was in shock for the first few weeks and missed out on a lot stuff. Get her footprints done now!! I wish we would have thought about it. It would have been nice to compare birth footprints to discharge footprints. Wish I would have found this board while we were going through it. You are in the right place!
  • Congrats on your baby!

  • Congratulations on your baby girl!!

     I know exactly what you mean on the confusion. I went into preterm labor at 24w 4d. Labor was stopped and I was told that I could possibly keep my little one in for a few more weeks. The next day I delivered via emergency C-Section, and my boy was 1lb 9oz (24w 5d). Definitly an overwhelming feeling! My little one is doing great so far.

    I wish the best for you and your family, and also for a very uneventful NICU stay!!
