Back in the hospital. :-(

My OB sent me into L & D today because I was feeling some contractions. After they confirmed the contractions on the monitor, they gave me a shot to stop them and checked my cervix via u/s. The u/s confirmed the funnel in my cervix had worsened and it looking like my membranes were beginning to slip into my cervix which my OB expects will cause them to burst. I was given my first steroid shot for the babes today and will get my second tomorrow. They are monitoring me all night and checking my cervix again in the morning. My OB and MFM have confirmed that if I go into labor again or my water bursts, they will immediately perform a RCS at this point. :-(

Huge hugs.  I went into labor at 28w1d and delivered at 29w4d so I know how terrifying it is.  The steroid shots are awesome and every single day counts.  Are they going to put you on mag or procardia?  I was on mag for 72 hours. I wish I had demanded procardia afterwards.  I'll be thinking of you, please keep us updated.

*hugs*  I hope they stay in there! Keep us posted!

I've been on 10mg of Procardia every 4 hours for the last six weeks or so. No mag drip yet.

Mag sucks so incredibly badly but I really think it helped me keep them in for another ten days so it was more than worth it.  I hope you keep them in for a lot longer but I want you to know that my boys are doing great.  If you have any NICU questions let me know.

Thank you all for your support. Thank you Missa G for being there for the questions I'm sure will come.

I would ask about mag. It worked for me when I was in the hosp at 27 wks for ptl.

T & P coming your way! Hopefully they can get things calmed down. If they are able to give you mag, it does suck, but it is manageable -- I was on a mag drip for about 5 weeks (along with Procardia and terbutaline) before they could get me onto just oral drugs. Hoping for a good morning report for you!

I've been following your updates. I just hope the babies will stay put for a few more weeks. *hugs*

Fx that your babies will stay put a lot longer.  Sending lots of positive vibes your way.

Well, my MFM thinks my OB overreacted to the funneling in my cervix. He thinks I can go home tonight after my second steroid shot. I'm relieved, but really anxious about their disagreement on my treatment. This is so emotionally draining.

Rynleigh

Stay positive! Just another six weeks and the scary zone will be all but gone. My Peri and my O/S are on different pages for whether or not I should have surgery, but I truly trust my Peri and my own body. Take comfort in the lesser concern and hold the babies in there Rest and hydrate and eat and keep on chuggin'!!

Thinking of you today and praying those babies stay put for as long as possible.  

jess8788

Lots and Lots of prayers coming your way!!!!

So sorry you're dealing with disagreements about your care on top of everything else. FX that your contractions calm down and that those babies stay put for a long, long time.

Sending lots of T&Ps to you and your LOs. I'm glad they're being so proactive and that you're getting the steroid shots.

I'm sorry there's a difference of opinions...how stressful!

Not sure if this helps, but I wanted to add that my membranes were also slipping into the funnel, and after I went into PTL at 27 weeks, dilated between 2-3 cm, and no longer had a measurable cervix, the doctor could feel both my bag of waters and baby A's head. Everyone was sure that my water would break within a matter of days, but I lasted until 36 and 1, went into full blown labor on my own, and actually had to have my water(s) broken. So, anything can happen. I will keep you in my thoughts!

That is extremely encouraging!
