Just that. Currently in hospital, after having sudden bleeding starting at about 10pm. 27 weeks pregnant, phoned the hospital midwife, who told me to call 999.

Ambulance turned up within 5 mins, put a cannula in and took me straight to the assessment center/labour ward.

Baby heartbeat is fine, but having tightenings, and a test for showing possible premature labour came back positive.

Been scanned, don't think the blood is from the placenta or cord, but it is quite watery. Going to be given antibiotics and steroid injection asap, then reassessed in the morning, including testing for amniotic fluid.

On my own, husband looking after our 3yo DD, and in any case, not allowed in with me anyway. Had 2 losses in the last year, and am so scared something will happen to this one too.

I have only just seen this thread. Best of luck. My 34 weeker is now 2 years and 5 months old and utterly perfect. We had some feeding problems when she came out but no breathing problems. Once she had learned to suck she thrived.

I’m so glad I’ve seen the updates on this thread! You’ve done brilliantly, and you’ll soon have your lovely baby. Well done. I had a similar pregnancy with 32-weeker DD who is currently feeding in my arms, the picture of health. Your baby will be all the more precious for everything you’ve been through.

Ooh! Exciting times! I was born at 36 weeks so not much further on and I perfectly normal. Mum said I had no bum cheeks and that looked odd. Just to let you know.
