Some of you may have read about my crazy Friday night on the TGIF thread. My water broke 7 weeks early and I'm now in the hospital until little Will is born, which will be Wednesday at the latest. He will then be in the NICU for two or three weeks, probably.

The first night I didn't get any sleep, and they put me on magnesium sulfate, which is some nasty shit. It gave me the worst headaches and generally just made me feel like crap. Very important stuff, though. It protects baby's brain and slows contractions, which I was having without feeling them. Last night they took me off of it, and I feel soooo much better. I also pretty much slept through the night last night, so overall I'm feeling good. 

I had an ultrasound yesterday, and things were looking good. Baby had plenty of fluid still, and he was just swimmig around in there.

So this is some pretty heavy stuff for me, but I'm in good hands and things could be worse. I appreciate any thoughts and support you can offer. Fingers crossed that we make it to Wednesday!

  • T and P to you and little William, I'm glad to hear things are looking good at this point, and that you're feeling better after they got you off the medicine. Hope his stay in NICU is short and that you're getting lots of rest.

  • Oh no! Scary stuff, Blerg!! Glad everything seems to have settled and it sounds like you are in great hands. Hopefully baby W will stay put until Wednesday, and he'll be born a warrior having to spend only a short time in NICU. Lots of hugs and thoughts and prayers flowing your way mama!

  • Fingers crossed.
    Are they keeping you entertained?

    Haha. Nope. It's crazy boring. But at least it's just a week and not a month or something!
  • Will just can't wait to come out and meet you! I hope he stays in there to cook just as long as he can, and I'm glad you're in good hands!

  • Good luck!! He's in really great hands. I've had 2 friends recently have babies at 30 weeks and they were in the NICU much longer and they are doing excellent now. Willy should be juuuust fine, but I still know how scary it is. Keep us posted when you get a chance.

  • Sending good thoughts your way! FI's nephew was born about six weeks early and spend about ten days in the NICU just to fatten him up a bit. Happiest and healthiest baby now almost three years later! Take care!
  • Sending you T & P!
