Update

I was doing well on Procardia and fluids. Then I had a few more contractions that they could only pick up on the monitor. Until today.

I worked from my hospital bed until 3. I started feeling a lot of pressure for several minutes at a time. Turns out I am having bigger contractions and they brought me back to L&D around 4 for monitoring and magnesium. Still having contractions - about 6 an hour. Getting worn out. Magnesium is supposed to help the babies' brain development as well as helping with contractions. It has a lot of side effects though. We are supposed to have a NICU consult tonight and I really hope we don't need it.

I am just so worn out. My heart keeps hoping and praying but my soul is weary. No real point to this post - just need to get it out there. Thanks for listening.

    It actually was very reassuring. We chose this hospital for its NICU, then selected our OB based on privileges. We are only at 25 weeks but we feel better after meeting one of the neonatologists and getting a very honest and compassionate discussion.

    Thinking of you - and very glad you had a good consult.  Having good doctors seems to make all the difference in the ability to let go and not worry (as much, let's face it - there is no "not worrying").  Hang in there.
