I went through a rather similar situation a few years ago and your story- the mag, the wonderful nurses, the fear and uncertainty, is amazingly familiar. I ended up spending 5 weeks in the hospital on bed rest and my son came home after a short NICU stay. It all turned out for the best and I'm sure that your story will as well but I know that it will continue to be difficult until you get there. It must be especially hard with a toddler at home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807253899575656424.post-28818883698708943602011-12-27T19:39:31.989-06:002011-12-27T19:39:31.989-06:00I am so sorry to hear about all that has happened....I am so sorry to hear about all that has happened. I am glad to hear that you still have sweet baby B in your womb, though. I hope that the bed rest goes okay.

Praying hard here that baby B sits tight for at least 5 weeks and hoping for more. I'm sorry you are separated from Kate, but glad she is on good hands and can visit. You seem to have wonderful doctors who are absolutely devoted to you and your baby - sounds like just what you need. Good luck with your temporary loss of independence. I was in bed for about 2 days after Isobel with mag sulph and although I didn't have a violent reaction to it I was so glad to get my bathroom privileges back. Take care:))tireegal68https://www.blogger.com/profile/13943003575298698264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807253899575656424.post-13625988927425325412011-12-24T21:54:20.012-06:002011-12-24T21:54:20.012-06:00I am so sorry about the loss of your sweet little ...I am so sorry about the loss of your sweet little one. Will keep you and Baby B in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you are able to beat their expectations by many days to help Baby B get the best start. You are such a great, dedicated mom.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451181089905438936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807253899575656424.post-80713958926317004942011-12-24T17:58:28.494-06:002011-12-24T17:58:28.494-06:00You really are in the best possible place. Your po...You really are in the best possible place. Your post takes me back -- being so woozy and blah from the Mag, the betamethasone shots, that damn foley which I was so thrilled to get rid of (though I got it back and lost it several more times), not being able to shower... I was in the hospital for a total of 5 weeks before giving birth and as long as you have your laptop and a good wireless connection, you will stay sane. An iPad would be even better; they didn't exist when I was in your position, but it would have been awesome since I had to be on my side all the time and reading the screen sideways was tough, nevermind typing sideways.<br /><br />If there are any TV series you've ever wanted to get caught up on (I watched, I don't know, 8 full series?), now's your chance. Any computer-based projects like photo scrapbooks, you will never have a better time. Emails to write, research to do, books to read, plans to make, languages to learn: keeping busy really helps. I helped a relative plan her whole wedding from that hospital bed. It really helped me get through the day to have a To Do list (though I was also trying, and mostly failing, to get work done, plus working on our taxes, bleech). Even silly stuff like shower, ask the doctor a certain question during rounds, watch this movie: all felt like I was accomplishing something rather than twiddling my thumbs. Every day you spend in that bed will pay off double in a shorter NICU stay for B, plus better long-term health. It is absolutely worth it, even if it's no fun sometimes, esp. with Kate not with you.<br /><br />Comfy maternity clothes, rather than those horrid gowns, will help you feel like a person.<br /><br />Hang in there.
