I am praying hard for you and the baby. I know how scary it can be to have your

baby premature. I had Tim at 32 weeks. He did extremely well considering how

early he was! He weighed 4 lb 4 oz at birth and was only in the incubator for

about 2 1/2 weeks. He didn't need a respirator and although he did have apnea he

was doing quite well! The day before he turned one month old he was able to come

home. (we had to wait for the apnea attacks to stop) This was over 22 years ago!

They barely had medical knowledge back then! lol So, even if he comes early I am

confident that he will be fine.

I know bed rest sucks. Keep laying down and stay there unless you have to go to

the restroom. Seriously.... don't do anything else and just try to relax.

Sitting up all the way isn't even a good idea at this point.

Hey , I know first hand how the best rest at this stage is! Zoe

tried to come at 20 weeks and I had mag for 4 days and then sent home

on a terbutaline pump for complete bed rest until she finally came at

36! You have made it past the critical stage so congrats!! I learned

a lot since getting pregnant with Zoe and apparently births before 30

weeks are at a great risk for CP. So good job mommy! You've given

your baby extra brain growth!!

A little trick to keep those contractions down... drink as much water

as you can during the day. For some reason, water will lower the

contractions... never did learn the technical reason why but it works

great (plus my skin never looked better during that time! haha). Good

luck with the rest of the pregnancy. Zoe was born with a complete AV

canal defect and she had her surgery at 6 months when she was 11

pounds. I've been through it so if I can help... e-mail me!!!
