I had bleeding off and on through entire
pregnancy starting at 6 weeks. When I
PROMed at 31 weeks, I wasn't sure that
is what had happened. I was put in the
hospital, where I stayed for 3 weeks
receiving the betamethasone shots up
until delivery. The hospital I was at
was so wonderful that my stay there
wasn't so bad, but I did miss my 2 year
old and my husband terribly! I, as
mostly everyone else who has experienced
this, was very thoroughly informed by my
OBs, and by the Neonatologists at the
hospital. I started having decels at
about 32 weeks, and my dr's just kept a
closer eye on the baby, but insisted on
keeping on with the plan to try to make
it to 35-36 weeks.
Finally, the night she was born, her
heart rate dropped to 65, and was not
coming up for anything! So we rushed in
for an emergency c-section, and my
husband got there just after she was
born. She was so little, that she was
only 1 inch longer than a barbie doll!
Anyway, she had no complications other
than at birth her cord was wrapped so
tightly around her neck that my doctor
said 5 more minutes and she would have
been stillborn. I thank God that he had
other plans, because we have been so
blessed with a sweet little angel.
