well it seems that i have gone into labor 9 weeks early. so far my ob has been successful at stopping my contractions with meds, but feels certain that i wont make it another 3 weeks. so she will at least be 6 weeks early. the have give me steriods to mature her lungs, but could everyone please just say a prayer for me that she will be ok? thank you all so very much!
angel--baby, I've been reading about your experience the last few days, and you and your baby have been in my prayers. I'll keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. May you feel the Lord by your side and may He bring you peace, I pray your baby is born in a few weeks healthy and strong.
By the way, my son who is now 11 was born 6 weeks early. He is now 5'4" inches tall, and about 100 lbs. Tall and thin and very healthy!

The lungs are the important thing and it sounds like they are taking care of that. I said a prayer for you and your baby!

AB--You may or may not know that my little girl was born 4 months early. She was in the NICU for 94 days.
Jess is now a happy & healthy 6 1/2 (almost 7 !!) year old and has progressed beautifully. If you saw her you'd never guess she was a preemie.
Generally, anything past 34 weeks and your little one will be fine. It's great that she has been given meds for her lungs and I"m sure you're being monitored closely. She may need a little oxygen or billirubin lights, but I'm guessing everything will be OK. I know--easy for me to say, huh?!
Having said all that, I understand your fear and I am saying a prayer for your little slice of heaven!!
