  Oh my gosh, can't this poor girl get a break?  Sending T+P to her.  At least they caught it now...hopefully there is something they can do to delay the labor.

  I'm so sorry to hear that.  I think the most heartbreaking thing of all is missing her baby's birthday--good thing he won't know the difference!  I will be praying for them today.  Keep us posted!

  I'm so sorry for your friend.  She really just can't catch a break, uggh!  I really hope her DS might be able to visit today so she can see him on his birthday and I hope the doctors are able to get the dilation under control so she can have the surgery if needed.  Prayers for their family.

  Nicole0012:

  My best friend is 23 weeks pregnant with her second. You may remember me posting several weeks ago about how she found out her baby has spina bifida, which in and of itself has been just awful news, but she has been SO positive about it. Yesterday her and her husband went to the Children's hospital to run tests and see if she was a candidate for in-utero surgery and before they even got to tests FOR the baby, they discovered she was already 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced, even having some contractions. They said that with the extra fluid from the spina bifida, her cervix was thinning, and her uterus was stretching, tricking her body into thinking it was time for delivery. 

  They immediately transferred her to another hospital to be monitored, keeping her overnight. Looks like she will either have an amnio to drain the fluid or surgery to suture her cervix. She has been through SO much already with this news, and this is just SUCH another hurdle for her to jump. I feel so awful for her and her husband.

  Also, today actually is her first son's 1st birthday. She's stuck in the hospital about an hour away from him and is SO upset to be missing his first birthday. They could really use some positive thoughts and prayers. 

  I know this is a stretch, but has anyone else known or been through something like this? I'm SO worried they are going to have the baby early. He's only 1 lb as of today. T&Ps welcomed.  

   

  Update: Unfortunately, my friend discovered today, after reviewing the amnio results with the doctors, that her baby has a chromosomal defect called Triploidy Syndrome (69 chromosomes) and will either die before birth or shortly after. Most with this miscarry within 15 weeks. They are nearly 24 weeks. They are completely devastated.  

  Just thought I'd offer the update for those who asked. Thanks for your t&ps.  

  Oh no!  I am so sorry.  This is just devastating.  How did the doctors not pick this up from the amino earlier?

  She didn't have an amnio, originally. She went in for her 20 a/s and they picked up the spina bifida. So then she went to have tests done to see if she was a candidate for in utero surgery and it led to them realizing she had way too much fluid present and did the amnio then.

  Oh Nicole - I have a tiny inkling of what you must be feeling as her friend but I can't imagine what she and her husband are going through.  You'll all be in my thoughts. I am so sorry.
