They will probably let her go as long as she and baby are healthy and tolerating things. I know when I was induced they would have let me labor as long as I wanted since DS1 and I were doing fine (but we ended up opting for a c-section). I hope she delivers soon.
This. If it's fine til 38 weeks it isn't imperative she deliver. I would much rather go through days of induction than a c section. If it were me and all was healthy I would go home and try again later....
She has to stay in the hospital to be monitored bc of the hypertension and chlostesis so going home isn't an option. I just wish people wouldn't scare her and tell her she's horrible for considering the possibility of a c section.

I'd hate to think what they'd say to me. Lol. Considering a c secton at 28 weeks. Wtf business is it of theirs? I think I'd trust my doctors vs Internet comments. That's so sad.

motownthrowdown,At this age, it is very easy for babies to get overly stimulated. For a year and a half, FIL would over stimulated DS1 every single freaking time and then it would take me over an hour trying to put down a over tired and over stimulated baby. I ended up having a strict no dinner/evenings with the laws rule for a long time.
I imagine a premmie is even more easy to over-stimulate than a full-term baby but I do not know.
I think if you are concerned you can have a discussion with your ped about when the "over-stimulation" should improve and other things to look out for SPD. At this point though, I would say this sounds typical.

Preemies are much easier to over stimulate. I'm so paranoid about what the next issue will be. Thanks for talking me down. Very rational explanation.
SPD moms--when did you first notice issues? I think I'm looking too far into this, but I feel like A is getting over stimulated at night and maybe that's why the past 2 weeks of sleep have been so shitty. We swaddled her super tight last night, haven't swaddled in weeks.Could be growth spurt, teething, could be surgery, but she's at a higher risk of this type of thing being a Preemie. Am I overreacting?
Taking off mom hat putting on professional hat. The Sensory Processing measures that we use are normed on children 3+, I believe there are some that are for children younger maybe like 18 months?? I've had parents recall sensory differences in their children as early as 6-8 months but not sure there are any standardized ways to measure it this young. Are you connected up with PT/OT services or early intervention yet? They might have some resources to help you decide regular premie/infant behavior vs. a disorder and suggest ways to help A process sensory input better.

nimfalen, Basement bedroom! We have talked about this for our oldest, but I remember having a room in the basement, so I have always said, no way for E to have his room down there. In recent months DH and I have considered this a little bit more, as how we use our house is changing. Sigh. We will see what happens in the future.
misstunes, Oh the stories! lol! Like last Thursday evening when M, DS2, slept 8 hours!! Woohoo! Amazing right? But I still didn't get the 8 hours solid sleep as E, DS1, went to a house party, was to be home at 1, and when I woke at 1:45 and he is still not home nor having the decency to text me, and when I text him he 'informs' me that he is going to crash at a buddy's house! I was like 'hell to the n-o', I will be picking you up. Good times! lol. What's worse is he is usually a good kid, but developmentally appropriate. You can say we like to keep things interesting! Never a dull moment! lol

Does anyone else remember William Hung's American idol audition? She Bangs? It popped into my head as I was getting the boys buckled in and I had myself a good chuckle.
Hahaha! I just saw Inside Out for the first time last week. Now I think of that movie when a song pops into my head.

DS1 was 3 when he was diagnosed. Once he had it there were past behaviors that I reflected on that made me go "mmmmm" that makes sense. He always loved car rides. I think the car seat straps made him feel relaxed (he often gets compression for OT). Now this could just be normal infant/baby behavior. The biggest thing I remember started happening when he was around 12-18 months. I'd pick him up at daycare and he'd walk to the nearest kid and hit them. For no reason.
I guess I don't really have an answer for you Mo except to say that babies are hard to figure out. Lol

I agree. She's just so affected by the stuff. Her Mom is also giving her a really hard time, which isn't helping. I had a c section, granted I was nearly 41 weeks. But I also had medical reasons that resulted in us ultimately making that decision. I keep trying to tell her that I'm happy with my birth experience even if it resulted in a c section and there's nothing to be ashamed of.

misstunesrunningmommy519 sounds like this is one thing I can cross off my worry list. At least for a couple years. Lol
hiimjamie her own mom?! It's not like she's thinking about it because she thinks it will be fun! It could become a medical necessity if she's dealing with hypertension. Babies and placentas don't like that.
My supply has taken a hit. My guess is it's from eating better, eating less calories and working out, which makes me happy but also sad that I am not freezing as much as I would like.

So I opened an fsa account back in September through work. I never received the cards do I've been working with hr for weeks. I just called the discovery benefits company that they go through and I was never enrolled in it. The money has been pulled since I "enrolled" he better have a damn good explanation....

So funny story. I was on the plane yesterday with the trans-siberian orchestra and one of the guys was staring at my LO because he just found out his SO is pregnant. It was pretty sweet.

That and the chlostesis can lead to still birth. Her mother isn't the nicest lady in the world.... to say the least! They're now pushing out any decisions to tomorrow.

I'm glad my dream of birthing giant rats sparked this conversation
In other news. The Vikings play the Packers this weekend and considering both teams are doing well this year it'll be a great game. I just looked at my time hop history and I posted this 4 yrs ago. So funny! m.youtube.com/watch?feature=share&v=RUGq8hIBuhQ
Please tell me that everyone here has seen Sandlot? Goonies? The Sound of Music? Edward Scissorhands??? Please???
If you hated The Sound of Music, you're dead to me.
LOVE Sandlot, Goonies and Sound of Music. Fun fact: I did a lot of musical theatre growing up and was in a production of Sound of Music. I played Louisa. I've never seen Edward Scissorhands... and we own it.
Who replaced my awesome baby with this, I hate the world, let's never sleep ever, baby? I'm on 4 hours of very broken sleep the last two nights. Please sleep tonight.
