posted 20th Aug
i just felt like leaving a topic. i am 23 weeks and 4 days today. i am on bed rest at the hosptial. i am at risk to go into pretermlabor. i have to pee in abed pan but hey i can get up to go number 2! its the little things. i am trying to keep him in for as long as i can! the doctor said i will be here till the baby is born, so i am set in my mind to be here for like 15 weeks i hope! i am staying positive. they took the ffn test last week and it was positive for me to go into labor in the next 2 weeks, but i haven't had any contractions and they are giving me medicine to make it so i don't have any at all. i just have to stay on the positive side. thanks for listening.

Good luck!
Get coloring books and stuff to keep you occupied and then you can hang them in your baby's room. :]

Aw! Good luck honey you will be in my prayers! Try to hang in there. What is the reason the baby is wanting to come out so soon?

Sorry to hear that. I can sympathize a little. I went into labour at 29 wks and was in the hospital for a couple days, they told me it would be weeks so I was preparing in my head for your kind of situation. I hope all goes well for you and your little one stays in a while longer. My doc always said, remember that at this stage it's not just every day that counts but it's every hour that makes a difference!
