Two years ago our daughter was born at 26 weeks, 1 pound 14.5 ounces. Well we decided to try for our second child and are now experiencing the same symptoms as before. I just started my 26th week.
I am being watched closer this time having ultrasounds every week of my cervix. I am also on Nifediphine to control contractions, antibiotics in case of infection, receiving steroid shots every week and on total bedrest. Hopefully I will get past this week!!!
Good news is my ultrasound showed that the baby is around 2 pounds 9 ounces: the size of a 28 weeker!! We are hoping to get over the 3 pound mark before I deliver!!!
Any adviseon bedrest would be greatly appreciated!!!
