The friday before last i was rushed to the er with severe bleeding and contractions every 1-2 min. and i was dialated 2 cm. I was released on that following tuesday on strict bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy.
Well.. Yesterday I woke up at 5am to more bleeding, was once again rushed to the er and because of a quite large placental abruption I delivered my baby boy at 32w6d within 20 min. of getting to the hospital via emergency c-section.
He is 4.5lbs and 17.5in. He was extremely pale from blood loss. He's breathing good on 21% oxygen now though and has his color back and all of the blood work came back great. I have only seen him for a few seconds since he was born yesterday morning and i miss him, They are going to try to get me into a wheelchair today to go see him.
I figured I would give you all an update, good luck with the rest of you! Wishing you all happy, healthy, full term babies!
Re: update to worst scare of my life
My T&p's are with you and your little man.... I hope you both have a quick recovery. Please keep us updated.
I hope all is well with you and baby. I hope you get to spend some quality time with him, and that you both have a speedy recovery. He's a pretty good size so I bet you guys will be home before you know it!

I am praising God right now that you and baby are ok. My sister lost her son last year to a complete abruption at 35 weeks. She also almost died from blood loss. Last week when you posted all I kept thinking was it sounds like she is abrupting.
Although it isn't idea that he was born at almost 33 weeks, I am so glad he is alive and didn't suffer any brain damage. You are both EXTREMELY lucky.
Best of luck to a quick and easy recovery.
