Introduction... Hello :)

Hello All :)

I am coming over from the high risk pregnancy board. 

We conceived through IVF and started having problems almost immediately with bleeding. I was put on modified bed rest starting at 5 weeks along. At 23 weeks 1 day I had to have an emergency cerclage placed to close my cervix. At 29 weeks I started having weird discharge. Fortunately with the 23 and 29 week excitement  I was given steroids and magnesium sulfate.

Eve was born  Friday night at  30 weeks 1 day weighing in at 3 pounds and 3 ounces. She is breathing on her own and with the exception of being tiny she is doing well.

She will be in the NICU for a while. Hopefully it will be a very uneventful and boring part of her journey.

I would love any advice or tips y'all have for coping and managing while you have wonderkid hanging out under an incubator . I have 3 other children but they were all big healthy full term giants. This is unfamiliar territory for me.

    Hi! I'm new here too, but have found everyone to be helpful. My twins are three weeks old today at 29w4 days gestation. I'm impressed with your DD weight. Mine are 1 lb 14 oz and 1 lb 12 oz respectively.

    Congrats on your new baby.
