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.
Re: Emergency c-section at 28 weeks; 12 weeks early!
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!!

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!!
