Hi just wondering if anyone has been in my situation before and could offer some reassuring advise. I'm in isolation in high dependancy unit with severe pnuemonia. My stats are weak and chance 31week baby may be delivered today. have been given 2 steroid shots.
Any advice welcome!

No advice but you are in the best possible place and 31 weeks is a good gestation especially after steroids. It will be easier to treat you when you aren't pregnant and it is important that you get the treatment that you need

31 weeks is good and you've had two steroid injections which is great.

You wouldn't generally expect any big complications at that stage so focus on getting better yourself, don't worry about baby.

Best of luck. X
