Oh, my goodness. I am sending you all my best that you can keep that baby in every second possible!!! I have a nephew who was born at 26 weeks, and he did make it (he is now 7) but he is pretty seriously disabled (severe autism, growth issues, etc). His older brother was born at 32 weeks and is a healthy, happy, totally normal 12 year old. I sincerely hope for an awesome outcome for you and your baby, and I'm so glad he's still doing well so far! Hang in there...

I'm so glad you are still baking your little man! I will keep praying for you. I think we have a Oct/Nov '10 mamma (Dawn) who had a premie 26 week baby girl and I think she said she's perfectly healthy, so it is possible, but naturally it's more ideal to keep baking. Keep us posted, for sure.

Still praying that things improve and that your body and placenta allows him to keep baking!

I can't believe a Dec baby is here already. We had another Nov baby born recently and baby was obviously not growing and getting what she needed because she was barely over 1.5 lbs. Ugh.

Still praying for you!!! I hope you can keep that LO in there for as long as possible. I'm so sorry you're going through all this.

And yes, it was Dawn that had a 26 weeker. I'm thinking she was like 26 and a half weeks or close to 27 weeks. devermee is her name on here.

I'm so sorry you are going through this! What an unbelievably Scary & Stressful time!

Yes, my DD was born at 26 weeks, 5 days. Different situation - just out of blue preterm labor & unable to stop it. And Anna is right, she is perfectly healthy!!! You would never know that she was only 2 lbs 3 oz when she was born! The upside for you is, that if you do go early, baby got the steroids for his lungs! I think that makes a huge difference. With DD, it was all so sudden, I got the steroids, but she was born just a few hours later & not enough in advance to be effective. Bed rest might sound awful at this point, but if it helps keep baby in there, it's worth it (I did with DS for 13 weeks)!
Short of things - obviously it's best to keep baby in there as long as possible, but there's also hope that if he is born early, he can do very well!

Keep baking baby!!!!!! Thinking of you!!

I'm so sorry to hear you're stuck in the hospital now and leaking. While it's best for you and baby to stay there, I know this has got to be incredibly hard. I'd be a mess without DS with me. ((hugs))

(((HUGS))) Justine. I can only imagine how hard this is for you. Hopefully that little man will keep baking for as long as possible!

Justine, sorry you are away from your LO. Sending prayers your way for that baby to keep baking.

Oh no, Justine! I am so sorry to hear this...sending you all my best for a safe and happy outcome for everyone, but I know it's going to be a tough road for a little while here no matter what.
