Hi - sorry to sound like a winging ratbag, but we've been bleeding since 14 weeks, I spent last week as an inpatient as now 7 weeks later this has not ceased.
We're holding in there, every day she's staying in is good news, but we've been told in no uncertain terms that as soon as we hopefully make it to 24 the steroid treatment will begin and she will be delivered as soon as there is an inkling of placental insufficiency. The great thing is that the care we are getting is fantastic, in my opinion, and she is growing still just now.
I suppose I'm comforted by reading the existing threads on here some amazing babies indeed - we have the longest three weeks to go through but I'm not stupid enough to think they'll be our last!!
How did you'all manage with your older children? We have a 19 month old toddler who is unsettled by a mummy on bedrest but not as unsettled as when I was in hospital.
Did any of you know your bub was going to be prem? How did you prepare and did it help?!
