Once again..

I'm in the hospital due to preterm labor at 29 wks and just got the bad news of being dilated to 1 cm just got a ultrasound to see how long my cervix path or whatever they called it is. And my baby went from being head down to breech in literally like 24 hrs which I if I were to deliver early I would have to have a c section. I'm really upset I'm having a difficult time with this pregnancy I keep hoping for the best but keep getting shot down with the worse. My baby girl is only weighing 3 pounds I wanted so bad to carry her to term. And was planning on bringing her home after I deliver but the nurses are talking about she would Have to stay wks in the nicu. I'm sorry I'm just venting I guess..

im terribly sorry,
i went into preterm labor with my daughter at 28 weeks, had tons of iv's. .
steroids for her lungs && medicane they call procardia too stop the contractions,
i dialated to 1 cm at 29 weeks && had too get 4 shots in my arm every doctor visit too stop my labor.
with the conplete help of the doctors i lasted until 37 weeks & 4 days & had too be induced duee too bleeding. .
good lick sweetie.
