So I was going to post a happy post about how great elliott's doppler was today but at my next NST, his HB dropped 3x in about 30min...so guess who's back in L&D? I received my first shot of second round of steroids and then even started me on magnesium IV (help decrease risk of brain bleeds, etc.). they mentioned the word "delivery" multiple times but they're doing the wait and see. He still had a few decelerations in his HB since coming down here but nothing too bad. I'm really scared that I'll be wisked away for an emergency c-section...I'm 30w5d right now but he's 2lb8oz now...
UPDATE: Been here for 5h now...he seems to be stable, I think he likes IV fluids...who knew magnesium makes you feel hot and flush all over. They keep trying to tell me to sleep but I'm too worried but will try soon. Thx again everyone, your thoughts/comments mean a lot to me/us.
Baby Elliott (technically) due 6.13.2015 but born via c-section on 4.12.2015 at 31w1d after 31d of hospital arrest (think house arrest) for monitoring.
I really hope you can keep him in for awhile longer. Sending lots of T&P your way!
Worst case, you're at a fairly good viability stage. A friend of mine had her son at 30 wks (our kids are the same age) and he's a thriving toddler. I hope you don't have to worry about it!
I was just thinking of you and Elliott today, but this is not the update I was hoping to hear. Continued prayers that he continues to stay put and get stronger over the next few weeks!
