Yesterday at 3 am I rolled over in bed and felt like I had wet my pants. I had some cramps so the thought crossed my mind that maybe it could be my water. After continued leakage even after going to the bathroom I called the doctor this morning and I was told to come up to Mercy right away. They did some tests and sure enough my membranes have ruptured and here I am.
There is no telling if I could have this baby tomorrow or five weeks from now. Ideally we want to make it to 34 weeks. That's as long as they will let me go.
It took THREE tries to get an iv in me. My arms are sore! I have an antibiotic going in to prevent infection to me and baby boy. Magnesium to relax my uterus and the contractions. It's also good for the baby's Nero development and helps protect it. I'm getting steroid shots to help further develop his lungs. If I get two shots in that develops the lungs one week farther! How cool!!
Here's the fun part. Since he is transverse (sideways) I can't even walk to the bathroom right now. I have a potty next to the bed. Reason since he's transverse and I'm ruptured the cord could fall out leading to an immediate c-section. Not scary at all huh!
This is really hard now that everyone is gone and I'm not with my babies. I miss them terribly already and want nothing but to hug them.
Thank you to everyone for the kind thoughts and offers for help. We are 100% still just winging this and figuring out what to do with Henry and Vi while Iz is at school.
For now I'm going to try to rest and focus on seeing my babies tomorrow!
Until then
