I woke up tuesday morning not feeling very well and achy , since I hit 24 weeks I thought it was due to the growth of the baby and a hectic work schedule. Went into work and had period like cramps all day long along with lower back ache called my OB as the nurse said it could be round ligament pain. Went home and rested all evening the pain got worse when I went too use the loo before going to bed I had a lot of yellow mucus discharge and we headed to ER at city. Saw the gynae there and was told in pre term labor and 2cm dialted. Was admitted immediately and put on anti contracting drugs, steriod shots and anti biotics. Things got worse due to the kcarelessness of my OB who i would advise everyone to stay away from. I went into emergency surgery fri morning to put in a cervical stitch with the head of OB at city

I am currently on strict bed rest as the chances of stitch lasting are very low i was dilated 4 cm during surgery and the new doctor says I must try to go till 32 weeks baby so far is healthy and growing well. Please remember me and my baby to be in all your prayers I am taking it all one day at a time and really struggling emotionally.

Holding you both in my prayers, Sami. I know so many of us here are thinking of you and praying for you. As Purple suggests, if you wanted to start a new thread then perhaps some other mums of preemies will see and respond. Please do let us know how you and your daughter are getting on. Much love from your EW family. xx

Hello Sami, We haven't spoken on EW before but saw your news and just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you and your baby girl and wishing she is strong enough soon so you can hold her; I'm sure you will both draw strength from that when it happens. With love, Rosy P x

Thanks ladies , she is 8 days old and I haven't yet held her in my arms. I feel so silly complaining about being on bed rest before I wish I could take it all back and have a healthy baby. I know it's not my fault but I really wish I had one of those boring pregnancies more than anything.

Sadly I ended up with a life threatening condition and had to deliver last Friday. The baby is doing fine given that she is only 27 weeks and will spend some time in nicu. It's been a horrible week the baby is on a ventilator and fighting an infection currently but inshallah she will fight back. Please remember us in your prayers and pray that my baby girl comes home safely. sami, I just wanted to send you big hugs and strength. You will probably find plenty of support on her if you post a new thread. I know several women using these boards have also given birth very early. A friend of mine a year and a half ago delivered at 27 weeks, her little girl is now walking and doing very well. Stay strong. xxxxxxxxxxx

Was in similar situation with DS although there had been no dilation the first time i was first admitted with contractions and I had the cerclage early in the pregnancy. My thoughts are with you - you can do it! Do let us know if you need more advice or ideas on how to keep yourself entertained through the coming weeks in bed.
