Water broke :( 29 weeks
Well, I am officially on a countdown of sorts. My water broke yesterday morning at a mere 29 weeks. I will be in patient at Mayo Clinic now until I deliver, whenever that may be...hopefully not for a few weeks, but realistically probably within the week. All the meetings with neonatologists, Drs, and others is overwhelming. And here I thought it would be my blood pressure that would make me go early....ha! I never dreamed my water would break this early. Prayers for no infection and more growing time for this little bean...

Re: Water broke :( 29 weeks
omg, wow. i'm 28 weeks and i could not imagine what you must be going thru.
i know it must feel crazy, but i'm sure you and the baby have great docs watching over you. good luck ... will be think of you.
Oh my gosh. I can't imagine what you must be going through. But you are at the Mayo clinic and you couldn't be in better hands.
Just last weekend I was visiting with my MIL and a friend of hers. He asked how far along I was so I read them the weekly email I get from that other baby site. When I got to the part about baby's weight, he said that my baby already weighed more than his granddaughter did when she was born. She was only 1lb 6 ounces at birth. Now she is six years old and, according to both him and my MIL, is a bright, healthy little girl.
I'm sending lots of happy thoughts your way that baby will stay in there for as long as he can.
Stay put, Baby! You aren't done growing yet....
All my best thoughts are with you.
Please keep us posted.

I went through something similar. I had a tear @ 33w, 3d, but I was able to keep my little bug cooking for an add'l 7 days. PP was right when about the technology & meds available these days is nothing short of amazing! DD came out w/ low birthweight @ 34 + wks @ 3.2 lbs, but needed no other aid. She breathed on her own and never needed assistance and took to the bottle immed. She stay in NICO as a feeder/grower. She did amazing and came home. I know first hand how stressful it can be! I'm sending lots of T&P & hugs your way!
