hi im now 26+5 and babys hangin in had some contractions last few days nothing too strong though and had alot of family help lately aswell had steroids nearly 3weeks ago 2 help develop his lungs so hopefully can just get to the end of this month atleast and he will have a good chance of makin it but im just nervous as they also discovered strep b on my swabs thanku 4 all ur kind thoughts and wishes and i wish all of u the best in ur pregnancies and ttc x
I know 3 people who were born at 26 weeks and they are 19 now so at least if something does happen now your little one has a good chance especially as doctors can do more now than they could 19 years ago. Fingers crossed though your little one hangs in there until 40 weeks. Its also a good thing they are giving you steroids just incase. Keep resting and keep us informed. So glad to hear things are going well. xxx

Hey hun, I'm so glad your baby is hanging in there. What is strep b? Hope all goes well for you... you've done really well!!! If baby decides to come now he should be OK even if he is premature!!!! Good luck babe!!!

thankyou 2 all of you im just doing my best 2 try n relax but with my 4yr old and movin house it isnt that easy i have been in the hospital loads and feel like i almost live there at the moment but i just want to try and get the next couple of weeks out of the way so this little man has a gd chance of pulling through i have already named him isaac but only bought the bare minimum clothing as i dont want to chance things 2 much yet but i seen the obsterician last monday who said that he was really happy the pregnancy was still going as over 80 percent that go wrong that early dnt progress or the mothers dnt really want to carry on with the higher risk of babies being ill or being disabled but i dont mind i would rather have a baby that needed more care and attention who may be disabled than no baby at all so im now 23+2weeks and just praying i make it to atleast 26 or 28wks altho my doctors dont think i will make it full term because of all the problems they want to try and get him to 30weeks to give him the best chance thankyou all again for your prayers thoughts and wishes and i wish all of u luck in your pregnancies and ttc xxxx
