Hi OP
So sorry you’re going through this!
A different situation but my waters broke at 25 weeks (I am now by some miracle 35 weeks).
Have your waters actually broken yet? So labour is like a ball rolling down a hill! Once is starts you can’t stop it but you can do things to stop it before it properly starts! And in THINK (but don’t take this for definite) if your waters haven’t broken they can POSSIBLY stop you from dilating/going into labour...
So - you’ve had your steroids - that’s amazing! Also I’m so sorry as I bet that hurt like fuck!!! I had to have 2 steroid injections in my butt cheek over 24 hours! BUT baby’s lungs are now getting a much much much needed boost!
Next up - magnesium sulphate! This is given to help baby’s brain but I wasn’t given that as I think it’s only given if you’re actually going into labour - which I wasn’t! My cervix was still closed!
I was admitted to hospital for 72 hours observation! They took my observations - BP and temp - every 4 hours to check I wasn’t developing an infection and also to see if I was going into labour! I also had to take antibiotics every 6 hours I think! These made me sick but that’s just how I react to antibiotics!! The ward was actually amazing! Midwives etc were lovely and it was surprisingly quiet!
Statistics - this is the scary bit! At 25 weeks I was told my baby had a 70-75% chance of survival and of that percentage 70-75% survived with no birth defects! Shat myself! HOWEVER at 28 weeks this goes up to 90-95%! These are good good odds! If your baby comes now they will be poorly and they will need a good stint in the NICU - there is no point saying they won’t - but they are in fantastic hands!!
You must be absolutely terrified!! I was too and Covid had just kicked off so everything was going to hell! It cant be any better for you either!
I hope this helps some and let me know if I can help any further xx
