So terrified. Emergency section at 25w

[Titchypanda]

Today I've been admitted to hospital and told my baby will need to be delivered in next 24 hours due to poor growth and almost no waters. Baby is only measuring at 1lb 2oz with a less than 50% chance of survival. My husband and I are devastated and terrified. Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Thinking of you OP

Good luck OP for you and your little one

Sending lots of love and luck to you all.
My twins were 26 weekers (18 years ago) so I know some of what you're going through.

I don't have any experience OP, but this little boy has been in our local press a fair bit, and was a 23weeker weighing only just over 1lb

Hope tomorrow goes as well as it can

Sending you love and lots of Luck

Sending love and hope. Praying, too..

Thinking of you and your little one today

Thinking of you OP and your DH and baby.

Good luck op. I have been in this situation, giving birth at 25+4. The outcome was devestating. My beautiful dd had been without waters since 21 weeks. Despite me brining it to my gps attention, he told me I was just paronoid. It really depends on when the waters went. Yy to steroid shots, I'm sure they have already been done, hence your 24hour wait?

Sorry to to have nice news like many posters above, but just to let you know that if the worse happens, you are not alone.

Thinking of you today. Sending lots of love xx

Much love xx

My friend gave birth at 24 weeks and her baby is doing very well now and recently had her 4th birthday!! However I know how you feel about being told your baby may not survive, at 21 weeks we were told the same and that our baby's heart didn't develop as expected. I'm 28 weeks now and dreading him being born as that's when he's no longer safe and the rest is unknown. All I. Can suggest is stay strong and trust the doctors x

Hope you are ok. I am only slightly further than you and currently being monitored for reduced growth velocity. The very best of luck to you and baby

AlL the very, very best to you and your family OP. X

She was born today weighing 1lb1oz. Strong heartbeat, moving lots but needs breathing help. It's 50/50 and a long road ahead or a sad one. We are trying to stay positive. Thanks for all the advice and personal experiences shared x

Congratulations Titchy! Thinking of you.

DTs were 31 weekers and I'll never forget NICU.

Look after yourself too x

Bless her. Congrarulations x

Congratulations! NICU is hard and stressful, please remember to look after yourself whilst your baby is being looked after by amazing people.
If you want to talk, you know where we are xx

Congratulations on the birth of your DD Titchy. Thinking of you both x

Many, many congratulations. The mixed emotions of excitement and all-consuming terror are a complete mind-fuck. The breathing help is absolutely to be expected for a good few weeks. Take it one hour and one day at a time and look after yourself -sleep, eat and talk through your emotions- so you can be as strong as possible in the coming days and weeks. She is obviously a little fighter. Sending unmumsnetty xxxxs

Congratulations on you baby girl, I hope she is doing ok.

Congratulations on the birth of your little girl good luck over the coming days

Congratulations.

Best wishes to you and your family.

I hope you are doing OK after the surgery

Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl. Sending you my very best wishes xxx

Congratulations titchy thinking of you and sending lots of strength to you all.
