Praying for you!!! I am so sorry- how terrifying. Please rest up and take care of yourself and that sweet baby girl. I can't imagine what you must be feeling.
So sorry your going through this. I can't imagine how scared you must feel. I agree with your husband that bed rest is probably the best choice right now. Take it easy and keep us updated. My thoughts are with you.

I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. I'm glad to hear that bed rest is an option. I'm sending you thoughts, prayers and positive vibes for you and yours.
I am so sorry you are going through this. I think it's also wise of your DH to suggest bed rest now. I am praying for you and your whole family!! You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers!!!!
I'm so sorry you are going through this. Sending lots of T&Ps that she stays put. I know bed rest would be frustrating and hard but I hope you're on a boring bed rest as long as possible.

I'm so sorry to hear that you are going through this right now! Not to sound like a broken record, but I echo the bed rest suggestion. It can't hurt. I am sending my thoughts and prayers to you and your LO!
That's a tough situation to deal with, but we know you are strong, momma! Rest up, ask any/everyone for help, try to stay calm, and focus on the fact that today, you are pregnant and baby is doing well. (I know, easier said than done...) Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!
Glad your DH suggested starting bed rest right away though. Obviously it's no fun, but at least you are doing everything possible to get baby to stay put.
I agree about your Dr not sugar coating it. They can really lay on the pressure at times. Try not to stress too much about that, if you can't decide now that is okay... Rest up thinking good thoughts for you and baby!
sending lots of love, prayers, and hugs. Please be sure to keep us updated, and as others have said, don't be afraid to ask for all of the help you need from family and friends while you're taking it easy!
Thanks you ladies for all of your support!!! My doctor doesn't sugar coat things but that's why I love her. She keeps it real. Like you ladies. If I wanted rainbow farts I would go to babycenter. I love that you ladies are so loving and supportive but also keep it real and tell it like it is. DH and I are extremely lucky to have my parents 2 min away and my sister 1 min away. His parents could be here in 20 min. So we have lots of support. My mom is a teacher and has offered to take FMLA and her 6 weeks of paid time off so if I end up on hospital bedrest she can take care of DD. DD is 16 months old but has many delays so she's more like a 9-10 month old. I'm not picking her up right now. My Dh has the next 2 days off so he's on baby duty. He just wants me in bed resting and baking that bun. Right now I'm not thinking about the what if's because there are so many. We have plans for hospital bed rest if that happens and that was really the only big question mark.

I'm so sorry for your scary news! Good decision to start bed rest now. Praying for you and your family and for that LO to stay in there a nice long time!
I'm coming over from july 2015 to send prayers for you and your little one. I am also a NICU nurse and just want to give you the shimmer of hope that might help you through making these difficult decisions...we have had many 24/25 week babies in the past few years who have overcome all the obstacles of prematurity and go home with little to no deficits! at the hospital i have even seen 23 week twins go home, one on oxygen but no other neurological deficits. there are huge variabilities to premature babies, but it is not always grim. i hope your little one stays put and the membranes stay stable for many more weeks to come. i will be thinking of you!
