Preterm labor 24 wks-please pray!

miraclepfGod

Hello everyone! Sunday night I had a bad seizure with myloclonic jerking which is believed to be what started my contractions as all other risk factors weren't there, both baby and I were completely healthy. However, I went into preterm labor, only 24 weeks. Cervix not open yet but thinning to 1cm. Was in hospital for treatment to stop labor and prepare baby just in cas for 48hours then released and following bedrest these last two days I see my OBGYN tomorrow. Please say a prayer! This is our first pregnancy and a miracle after over 13 years infertile and down half my reproductive organs we were surprise to hear of this little boy! We love him so much! Thank you all!

It's good news that you are at home!  I hope your appt goes well tomorrow.  In my research on preterm labor, 50% of patients get their labor stopped and end up making it to term.  That's great news!  Did you get steroids at the hospital?  Are you still contracting? Is your doctor ordering weekly progesterone injections or suppositories? Are you delivering at a hospital that has a level 3 or 4 nicu?  Every day that you stay pregnant increases your little one's chance of survival!

Thank you all! I am on very strict bedrest only right now. OBGYN contributes it all to the seizure. Prayerfully with rest it can calm down. But I really can't have another seizure like that and mine have never been undercontrol. we are trusting the Lord and see my specialist on Monday to see if any progress. Right now I still get period like cramping and pressure from time to time. Baby is very healthy and active! Hes enjoying being in there so it's not him! All my body fighting against itself. Thank you all for the prayers! They are appreciated and needed! ❤️

Good news! Glad little one is still hanging out and growing. Every day in utero helps!

So glad to hear that you are still pregnant!

If you need something to look up online while you are on bedrest, find out if you can get a breastpump through your health insurance.  At this point, while we pray that you go full term, a preterm birth is a possibility.  In that event, producing breastmilk could be lifesaving for your preemie.  Or, find out if the nicu at the hospital you are delivering at utilizes donor milk.  (of course I'm not even sure that your seizure meds are suitable for breastfeeding).

I pumped for my 26weeker twins. I rented a hospital-grade medela symphony pump, which I highly recommend if you have access to that.  I also had a pump in style for back-up and pumping other places.  I've also heard great things about the Spectra line of pumps. 

God Bless; We are praying for you.  Preterm Labor is scary!

Thank you! Will do! I can breastfeed as the medication doesn't go through my milk thankfully! So blessed for that! Goodnidsanto get that now just in case! How's your little one now?
