Story: I was ob another one of these apps called bump something and I read a post about this lady that went into labor at 24 weeks and she posted a pic of how low her baby was in her stomach before all that happened. Well a little after that I got those Braxton hicks and my belly looked similar to that other ladies and I got a little freaked out so I asked my hubby to take me to ER to get checked just to be sure I figured I was just a crazy FTM and that's what I was expected them to tell me . I went and told them I was 28 weeks and right away they made me get checked out by labor and delivery so I did and when they took my BP it was 190/103 . They hooked me up to IV right then and there and start monitoring me and giving me meds . Baby continued to be fine through the whole thing but my BP just kept shooting . I began getting steroid shots for baby to develop her lungs and magnesium to protect her brain and then I had to get transferred to a different hospital that has a stage 3 nicu just in case they needed to deliver . Over a few days baby was still fine but me I was worsening and turns out the real reason I went to the ER (thinking early labor ) had nothing to do with the situation I wasn't dialated or cervix open nothing . So they had a hard time inducing me when they realized healthy wise they didn't want to wait for me to get to 32 -34 weeks . We all decided on C section . Baby is doing fine . Breathing on her own so we just pray for her everyday to get bigger and bigger for mommy and daddy . Ladies I wish you the best of everything and that each of you carry well into September as planned . However if something feels off with you go get checked . As I said I went to the ER for a total different reason .
Thanks for reading all .

On Monday morning, June 15th, I received a call from my OBGYN asking me to go to the hospital to be admitted for fetal heart monitoring. The previous Friday I had a fetal echocardiogram performed by a fetal/pediatric cardiologist, whose report was reviewed by my perinatologist, and they discovered my baby was having issues with the umbilical blood flow.
After 10 days of bed rest, constant fetal heart monitoring, & daily ultrasounds; my baby was having more frequent heart rate decelerations and my amniotic fluid dropped to a dangerous level. The time had come for an emergency cesarean, I was one day shy of 28 weeks, baby was measuring extra small from IUGR.
My precious baby boy was born kicking & screaming on Thursday, June 25th weighing 1lb 3oz & 11.02 inches long. His little cries were the most beautiful and amazing thing I have ever heard. Baby boy is doing well, breathing on his own, and now nearly a week old. We have a long and bumpy road ahead of us and are taking it one day at a time.
Sometimes things don't go according to plan, we just have to go with the flow & try to stay positive. Many best wishes for the remainder of your pregnancy and the birth of your little miracle!
Delivered: July 11th
Grace Marie was born via emergency C Section due to the *very* random and rapid development of Pre-E, which quickly developed into Ecclampsia.
She is 3lbs, 8 oz and 15 inches long. I haven't met her yet, but I've been pumping for her and that's been going well!
Its quite the birth story, so I'll make a separate announcement thread later. Good luck, sep15 mommas!
Birthdate: July 12th
My water broke at 31w 6d and despite attempts to delay labor, my body was not responding and Gemma Noelle and Carina Marie were born via c section at 32 weeks exactly. Babies are doing as well as can be expected in the NICU. We are in for a long ride but I am grateful that they are ok.

I was admitted on July 3rd with preterm labour. I had my baby this morning at 31wks1dy. I started experiencing contractions yesterday afternoon. They gave me 3 shots of Terbutaline in the evening and into the night to slow labor. It helped for a little while, but I was awakened by contractions this morning. I was given 2 more shots this morning, but they didn't help. It all happened so fast I guess my little princess didn't want to stay in there much longer. She was born at 6:10am, weighing 4lbs. She's now in the NICU, I can't wait to take her home.
Birth date: 7/14
I was admitted to the hospital on 7/9 with premature rupture of membranes. I also developed pree while in the hospital. Around 9pm on 7/13 I started having contractions. I went to delivery a little after 5 and a few pushes later, Waylon Walker was born at 5:23 am. He was 30wks+4. Waylon was 16.5 inches long and 3 pounds 6 ounces. He is currently in the NICU and will stay for several more weeks. He is breathing on his own and has started gaining weight (he had lost about 6 ounces).
It is so hard to be away from him, but I know he is in the best place where they are equppied to take care of him. My husband and I have both been able to kangaroo with him, which has been amazing.
Baby's Name: Savannah
Sex: girl
Date of Birth: 7/21/2015
Original Due Date: 9/06/2015
Weeks Pregnant: 33.2 weeks
Baby's Weight: 1 pound 14 ounces
Baby's Length: 13 3/4 inches
I noticed on Monday evening Savannah's movements were not typical. My pregnancy has been picture perfect since day one. I hadn't had much pain or nausea, no GD, baby measured right on track at 20 week scan, and fundal height was always on track. On Tuesday I woke up and still didn't feel any movement. Tried to drink some strawberry milk as well as some yogurt and a piece of chocolate. Still nothing. I called my doctor thinking I was worrying over nothing. They had me come in for an NST. The NST showed one drop in heart rate and the doctor wasn't comfortable so they sent me to triage and said I'll get monitored for a few hours and sent home most likely. In triage Savannah wasn't moving either and the doctor wanted to do a BPP. She scored a 2 out of 10... she had no movement, low fluid, and looked small. The doctor wanted to admit me for continuous monitoring. I was to see the perinatologist in the morning (Tuesday ) to have an ultrasound with the better machine. I was admitted, given a steroid shot for her lungs just in case, then given antibiotics anyway since I wasn't tested for GBS yet. Apparently the perinatologist saw the paper from the monitor and wanted me to go to ultrasound that evening. Went to ultrasound and still scored a 2 out of 10. Within a few moments of being brought back to my room, a nurse came in and told me the baby's heartbeat was dropping a lot and she wanted to put oxygen on. Next thing I know the on call doctor comes in telling me we need to have an immediate emergency c-section to get savannah the care that she needs.
Got prepared, brought to OR, given spinal block,and surgery started at 11:17. Savannah was born at 11:25. Spent 2 hours in recovery and not able to see her. She was so tiny and they aren't sure what's the reason for that. They sent the placenta to pathology for more testing.
Savannah is doing incredibly well. She was not even 24 hours when she was able to come off of the CPAP that was helping her breathe. She has a long road ahead of her, but we are so blessed she can get the care she needs outside of the womb. She is perfect to us! We even are able to have frequent skin to skin with her
What started as a regular day with a concern that was silly I thought turned into the birth of our beautiful baby girl. So glad we have instincts! Just remember to trust them, ladies, when you feel like something is off. You know your body and your pregnancy best!
Pictures to follow when I get to a computer!
