32 weeks and Water Broke!!! In hospital n on bed rest!!

in 3rd Trimester
I went into preterm labor on the 19 which I was 31 weeks n 5 days and to make it worse the hospital I was registered at couldn't take me cuz I wasn't 32 weeks yet and they didn't have a neonatal care that could take care of babies under 31 weeks so I rode in an ambulance to a good hospital that I been at 2 nights now. They have me on FULL bed rest and they gave me magnesium to stop labor plus finIshed both the steroid shots to get his lil lungs developed sooner!!! I only dilated to 1cm and have stopped. The goal is to make it 35 weeks plus I'm having a planned c-section anyway so all I have to do is make it in here 3 more weeks and hope and pray no infections or that labor try's to start again and then when they take him at 35 weeks it's less likely he will have to go to the neonatal unit and can come on home with me and my hubby!! I've been a wreck my husband works 10 hours and has had to stay at home to watch my 15 year old son at night an get him off to school which is his stepson and this baby is his first so it's taking a toll on all of us plus I'm so emotional and trying to be strong but I'm all alone with no friends stuck here on a hospital bed. Anybody out there?!!! Any advice or wana talk?! Please help me get through this!!! ANYONE?!!

    No they have to keep me n baby on machines and do constant tests since my water broke (membranes ruptured) they said if no infections or distress on me or baby happens then we are pushing to go to 35 weeks where I will then have a planned c section and I'm taking these risks because I don't want him to have to go through what the neonatal nurse told us he'd be put through for the next 4 weeks if they took him now instead of trying to keep him baking inside for at least 2 but we want 3 weeks from today!!

    They moved me from my hospital to this one that's actually closer to home and has the Best neonatal docs around so feeling very confident and blessed but still worry. Just being a mommy lol

    Yikes, scary! At least you are at a good hospital. I guess just try to relax? Hopefully you can keep baby inside for a few more weeks! Wishing you well.
