when did u deliver??

I know this question has been asked before and I'm pretty sure I asked it BUT I am 31 weeks and have been in "early labor" now for about 5 weeks. I was sent to the hospital again yesterday from the Ob office cause I was having HUGE contractions every 3-4 mins. They gave me lots of fluids which didn't really do anything and then gave me a shot of terbutaline that felt like it lasted 30mins if anything. They also gave me another booster of betamethasone for their lungs since I had it at 26 1/2 weeks when Baby A had cord compression. I am a NERVOUS WRECK! I love like 45 mins from the hospital to begin with so that brings enough anxiety with it to begin with. I need to know when you ladies delivered and how big your babies were and how long they stayed in the hospital. Last week mine weighed in at 4lb. 1oz and Baby B 3lb. 13oz. Please help calm me down a bit. I swear someone needs to come up with a xanax safe for pregnancy!!

ETA: Sunday night I have some mild spotting AGAIn of bright red blood also.

Re: when did u deliver??

So sorry you are going through all of this

I delivered at 33 weeks 6 days due to pre eclampsia. They were both 4 lbs 11 oz and spent 10 days in the NICU. It is amazing how strong babies are! They changed so quickly in those 10 days (medically speaking) it was amazing.

Hang in there~

I delivered at 30 weeks. My was 3 lb. 10 oz. and my was 2 lb. 3 oz. They were in the NICU for almost 6 weeks but they did amazing! Now you would never know that they were born so early! Try not to worry too much. But should you have them anytime soon just know that with all the advanced technology these days, they will be fine!

Re: when did u deliver??

ugh, i know how scared and nervous you are. i had a rough PG with my twins and was the same way. i was having contractions on/off since about 20 weeks. i got the steroids at around 26 weeks also. my water broke when i was 35.5 wks. twin a was 4 lbs 12 oz and twin b was 4 lbs 15 oz. they were both in the NICU bc i had GD and some minor other issues. twin a came home with me, twin b came home the next day.

good luck and try and take it easy! are you on bed rest?

Re: when did u deliver??

My LO's were born at 37wks by c-section weighing 5lbs 13oz and 5lbs 8oz...I was having contractions the last 3 weeks of my pregnancy and couldn't wait for it to be over. But the best thing was keeping them in there for as long as possible. They went right to the regular nursery and came home with me, Hang in there!
