TW/AW: Admitted (Update 2.27)

Not sure if this deserves a TW but just in case. (2.27: Feeling AWish as the days turn into weeks. Almost done!)

Update 2.27. In post. Steroids are *amazing* - babies are stable and get to stay in a little longer. Delivery day set for 3/06 as long as everything stays the way it is. 

Update 2.25. Moved down to L&D for continuous monitoring and now a baby dance party is preventing a good tracing. 

Update 2.24. In post. TL;DR - Stable Doppler, stressed DH, stressed mama. Enormous vent (you've been warned!) ;)

Mini update 2.22. Umbilical arteries still have REDF (which won't change). Ductus flow still positive, so I get to keep gestating!

Update 2.17 in post. Staying in the hospital. No miracle improvement that would have let me leave the hospital. Visited the NICU to prepare ourselves. Crappy day. 
I'll spare all of you more frequent updates until it looks like the babies are coming out soon. Could be tomorrow or two weeks...

Update 2.15 in post. Still stable - updated plan on Friday?

Update 2.13 in post on page 2(?). TL;DR? All is well / stable. Woohoo!

Update 2.11:
Thank you all for your kind words. We made it to acorn squash status! Neonatology met with us yesterday afternoon to go through what babies at 29-34 weeks will be dealing with, which was really helpful perspective (especially for DH). The next big day is Monday (new Doppler flow study) so hopefully nothing exciting to think about until then. The 3x/day fetal monitoring is less than ideal (the babies are small enough at 29 weeks that they are hard to find/keep on the monitor, so I've had 1-2 nurses stuck with me during 1-2 hours of trying to get a decent tracing for at least 15-20 min). Thankful that's all I have to complain about. 

OP (2.10):
We got admitted to the hospital today for closer monitoring of baby B. Plan had been to have weekly umbilical blood flow ultrasounds and NSTs twice a week. Blood flow was intermittently reversed at the end of diastole (the relaxation phase of the heart beat) which is bad. Not take-the-babies-out-immediately kind of bad, but a watch-more-closely-in-the-hospital kind of bad. So here we are...



New plan is heartbeat monitoring 3x per day and umbilical flow ultrasounds 3x per week. Maybe we'll make it to 30 weeks? (28w6d today). 

Good vibes welcome :/

  • Are they looking into steroid shots?  Is Mag Sulfate an option, they told me it could help something in the brain but I had it to stop PTL.
