Im in labor @ 27 weeks :'(

cinnabon

Just gave me procardia to calm contractions. Cervix still shortening, but not dilating more yet. Have to see neonatologist soon and I'm getting special tour of the NICU not comforting. @math_mommy thanks for the statistics. But I am 27+2. Gotta make it 5 more days to make it to over 98% I'm scared.

Idk why they aren't doing more to stop the labor. I have 2 preemies at home. Born at 34 weeks and 32 weeks (ages 6&8 now). They were "healthy" preemies. But 27 weeks scares the crap out of me!

I can imagine your anxiety, but stay strong and have faith the baby will hang in there another week to make the 98%

Prayers to you. Stay strong and think positive.

Have they given you an estimate of your baby's size yet?

@math_mommy no length, but he or she is almost 3 pounds ...pretty big, that's a plus

Math_Mommy

That's incredible!!! They estimated my son at 2lbs 14oz, at 29/6 weeks...and he was 3 lbs 6oz. One neonatologist said 3 lbs is a "big nicu baby"!

Im 26 weeks in l and d due to preteen labor. My cervix is closed but 80-90% effaced. Was on magnesium but never stopped contractions.

Math_Mommy

Let me say, my heart goes out to all you mommies on magnesium...that stuff burns & makes you feel like poo! But still totally worth it if it stops labor long enough for the steroids to work!!!

Good luck hun, ill put u in my prayers. Think positive an stay strong
