I was put in the hospital on 6/24 with bleeding. After a few hours of being there I was transported to a hospital with a level 3 NICU. I was put on a bunch of different medications to stop labor but none of it was working properly due to my incompetent cervix. My cerclage however was slowing the dilation process down. I was given doses of steroids for babies lungs and other things to help for the early arrival of him. On the 25th we did an ultra sound and noticed the umbilical cord was between babies head and my dilating cervix so I was then put on complete bed rest. No moving except for bowl movements. Well on the 27th I had another ultra sound because they were going to try to move me to a different ward since my contractions stopped but it was then noticed that they umbilical cord had progressed to being inside my cervix. It was then decided for the safety of baby and not wanting to risk an emergency situation I would have a c-section the next morning. I did have one. He is doing amazing for how early he is. We still have a long road ahead and we will continue to pray for him. He was born on June 28th at 9:19 am weighing 1lb12oz 13 in long. We are now going on 48 hours since he was born and I'm so proud of him. Just need him to continue to be a fighter.
Re: Had my baby at 25 weeks
How are you?
When we had a bleeding incident at 27 weeks we got to visit the NICU in preparation for maybe ending up there. We even got to say hello to a little girl who was born at 25 weeks. Those babies in there are fighters! GL with everything!
Oh sweet boy. Praying for you and your little fighter! Please keep us posted!
We're having twins
Our angel baby boy is looking over his twin sister - due November 21
They say the first week is the most dangerous time for preemies. So if he's still kicking, his chances are much better now!
So excited for you and your new arrival!
