25 Weeks and waters have gone completely!!!

Mummyloves09 · 23/02/2018 04:27

Please I need some support from anyone in a similar situation. I am 25 weeks exactly. Yesterday my water started going at 6:20pm, I was admitted to hospital at 7pm. Had steroids and antibiotics at 9pm. by 1:15am this morning they scanned me and seen no waters around the baby.

Has anyone had success stories in this situation or similar?

What should I expect?

Any questions I need to ask neonatal team?

P.s. This was a low risk pregnancy before this.

I am very teary and need to get a grip to be the best I can for my baby at this time (So any advice welcome).

I have my real life support however my support has not experienced this situation.

Thank you in advance.

Thinking of you OP. I'm sitting at home under my 28weeker as I write. It's a scary time and there will be days when it all seems hopeless and endless, but you just have to hang on tight and ride the rollercoaster of NICU. Everybody will tell you about a preemie they know, but unless you've ever been in the situation yourself, you will never understand just how intense having a very premature baby is. BUT these little ones are incredibly resilient and the NHS are just wonderful at taking care of them. We spent 10 weeks in the NICU, and after countless ups and downs, we're now home and doing perfectly. There's no escaping the fact that the earlier the baby comes the harder its journey is, but if you've had the steroids you're off to a great start. I didn't have time for them as my baby came so quickly, and it took my baby much longer to come off breathing support than much earlier babies whose mothers had had the steroid injections. I saw plenty of 25 and 26 weekers pulling through. They are little fighters and will amaze you every day xx

Congratulations!
Does she have a name yet?

TiffanyDoggett · 26/02/2018 20:12

Congratulations on you're little girl.

I delivered (caught!) a 26 week little boy almost 10 years ago. He was my first premie birth and his parents and I kept in touch. He went from strength to strength and I used to catch up with the family when they were in for various procedures. He's doing brilliantly from their last email. His sight has been affected but cognitive and physical development is great. It's going to be an uphill road but keep the positivity.

Please look after yourself too. It's so easy to neglect you're own basic needs at this point but your daughter needs a strong, well rested and hydrated mother BrewCakeThanks

TiffanyDoggett · 26/02/2018 20:13

Whoops! Your little girl!
