Well contractions didn't stop. They seem to be speeding back up. I'm dialated now almost 3 cm. I got my second steroid shot at 530. And just got started on the mag about 30 minutes ago. Ultrasound shows A is head down and weighs 4.9 lbs and B is breech at 4.6. Good weights. Doc wants to keep themm in atleast 24 more hours to give the steroids time to develop their lungs more.

I am. It going home as hoped. Here until I deliver.

Sorry things didn't resolve as hoped so you could go home. So glad to hear they have such great weights! Hope the mag does the trick. Lots of positive thoughts to you and the babies.

They checked me again at 10. I was still at 3cm but I'm still contracting. Short term goal is 24 to 48 hours. My on will be here then so I'll feel better and one of my close friends moms works in the NiCU here and she will be working tonight (if we get to that point). My hopes of a vag delivery have been popped with B now being breech. Hubby is at work, MIL is of running errands and my friend just left slim just here to think. This is not what I planned. I thought I was doing so well. I never thought I would be here in the hospital at 32 weeks unable to stop contractions or Progression. I just thought I would have no trouble making it to at least 32 weeks.

Pitty potty to over. Happy Valentines Day ladies and thanks so much for all of your support!!!

big hugs to you! You are in the best place you could be right now!

AmyJoy728 · February 2012

I'm sorry hun, I know this isn't what you had planned. Still being at 3cm is great. The contractions aren't dilating you and that is good news!

This exactly.

What matters most is that you and those babies are okay. You are in the best possible place for this. That's great that you already know one of the NICU nurses.

My B also turned breech during my labor so my plans also changed. I had a big pitty party and bawling fit about it, too. My girls were 4#13 and 4#9 and they came through it just fine!

Try to relax and stay positive!

Hugs and prayers!

Well ladies. I'm now dialated to 4 and 70% effaced the doc said her head was further down too. They increased the magnesium but I'm still having contractions they say that the short term goal is to make it to 5:30 am. which would be 24 hours after the second dose of steroids. They say there is no way to make It to 36 weeks at this point. Right. Ow they are just trying to buy hours...funny thing is yesterday morning when they did the swab to find out if I would go into labor in the. Ext two weeks it. Ame back negative.

AmyJoy728 · February 2012

I'm not sure how accurate the FFN is, but that would give me hope of making it a few more days if not 2 more weeks.

nursemama2be · February 2012

Those weights sound great. FX they wait another 24 hours.

selenamarino · February 2012

Well ladies I'm still here and the. Abiea are still in.last night and this morning were hard. I got too much magnesium and started loosing consciousness and couldn't breathe. I don't remember much from that. I am waiting patiently for my doctor to come back in. He came this morning but didn't want to check me this morning. I am STARVING!!! They haven't let me eat anything since Monda!!!
