Seriously didn't think it would happen to me, but it did... Last night around 7 I started leakin and thought I peed my pants. I went to the bathroom and had bright red blood... Scary moment. I had a doctors appointment in the morning so I was hoping to not go to l&d. Bleeding stopped and I wasn't having contractions. It happened two more times last night until I fell asleep. Woke up fine and called the doctor and they said to just come to my apt. I did and sure enough the doctor checked the fluid and my water broke at 33.5 days... This is baby #4. No rhyme or reason just our luck. They don't want to risk infection and I'm a vbac so if I don't go into labor in the next two days I'll have a c section. My doctor is very vbac friendly and if everything is safe will help me to have a vbac... I'm a ticking time bomb at this point... Any nicu mom's with advice? They said they keep them until around due date usually. Sometimes earlier, so maybe best case scenario is two weeks to 36 weeks of he cooks a couple more days... We've had amazing support from friends since we have 0 family nearby and my mother is disabled. I have 3 older kids at home who need taking care of and a husband who has crazy work hours who has tomorrow off for sure but no idea after that... He does get some paternity leave but it won't be enough with nicu... Any advice. Any prayers would be appreciated. I was due June 10th so a little sad I won't be a June mama, but grateful for modern medicine to help my little boy. It's been fun reading all about our journeys the last 7 months and thanks for the already support. Just trying to stay calm in my lonely hospital room. If you got through my novel you are awesome. I will try to keep posing updates when I can.

Take care of yourself, and don't let your mind play any games with you while you are trying to absorb this game changer. Don't doubt yourself! You and your baby are health and whole, you both are strong and you can do this!
Blessings!
So far my experience with them has been really good. Even though I really want to have my baby close to me, it's reassuring to know he's being taken care of. I try not to stress myself out thinking about how soon he can come home. I just take it day by day and celebrate his mini milestones.
I'll be thinking of you! Sending thoughts and prayers your way.
All the best to you and your baby!
Came in Saturday at 33 weeks 6 days and got the shot to stimulate the lungs.
Met my son Alex last night via c section because he was breech and my fluid levels were about 0. He came out screaming and was breathing on his own when we saw him in nicu about 2 hours later.
They said no matter what he's not going home until 35 weeks, and then he had to pass tests regarding breathing and eating.
He is awesome! Best of luck!
Trust her judgement if a csection is necessary and she is very lets play by ear and worry when we need to worry. Baby is head down!!! Yay! My leak has slowed down a ton since being in bed rest which has given Connor another day at least. Latest he can come is Friday though because of risk of infection. I am 33.6 this morning and 34 is our milestone. I will try to update more wen I can especially when he arrives. Thank you so much again for all the thoughts, prayers, messages and love!!! Typing in phone in hospital sorry for typos.
