Update: At the Hospital

tngrl3 · October 2012

I had an appointment with my MFM doc today to check dopplers of cord and head. Unfortunately, cord Doppler is worse and they decided Noah needs to come out. I am currently in the hospital and have received my first dose of steroids. The plan is to give the second dose of steroids, let them work, and then do a c-section. Looks like he will be here by the weekend. If he shows any signs of distress we will do emergency c-section.

He is obviously going to be quite early and very small, likely under 4lbs. Otherwise he looks good developmentally and I am thankful for that. I am on the monitor and he looks great. No contractions.

I will update when things change. Please keep us both in your thoughts and prayers.

Hope everything goes well and he waits a little bit longer to join the real world.

Good luck! FWIW, my sister had 32w twins, and one was barely under 4lbs and one was 4lb5oz!

SO yours may very well be over 4!

unfortunately he has severe IUGR and was barely 3lbs 4oz a week ago. That's part of the reason he will be delivered early.
