Bad u/s news.

[KatieBunnyGirl]

Well, I had a regular, 4D, and tvu u/s today.

The baby looks good, he's 2lbs 1 oz., he is in the frank breech position, and was yawning, hiccuping, and taking practice breaths for us. He is still definitely a he, and was so cute sucking on he little toes and pulling on his cord.

That was the good news.

They did the tvu, I only have 1.8CM left, and I am funneled to the stitch. So, my OBs came to a consensus, I'm giving strict bedrest a try, and I am going back weekly now. If things don't improve or stay stable or I start dilating, they're sending me for hospital bedrest.

I am terrified. To know that my baby is only in by the thread, and his membranes are sitting right against the stitch.

The Dr. is reassuring, he said w/strict bedrest, he thinks I can make it to 28 weeks. And we'll take it from there.

I've said a prayer for you and your little guy. How far along are you now?

 

[KatieBunnyGirl]

I am 26 weeks and a few days. Thank you for the prayers. I just want to bring a healthy baby home this time, I want him to have the chance his brother never had.

Oh KatieBunnyGirl! How scary for you, especially after what happened with Keegan.

Your doctor sounds good, please be reassured by his advice.

Lord, thank you for the baby you have given to KBG and thank you for the doctors and carers you have placed in her life to help her to protect her son. Please protect KBG and her baby, please prevent her from funnelling further or from dilating until the baby has grown and developed far enough to be removed from any danger to his health. Please help her to carry this baby as close to term as possible, and let him be born healthy and happy and live a long life dedicated to You. Please send comfort to KBG and her family while she is on bedrest, and let them know how closely by their side You are.

In Christ, Amen.

Amen. *hugs to you*

I'm on bed rest too. Right now modified bed rest but it's stressful. I've been having contractions and I'm dilated already.

A gameboy helps pass the time.

Hopefully your babe and mine can stay in as long as they need to.

Praying for you and your little one too Linnis.

My wife has a partially separated placenta and we're at 26 weeks right now also. It's been a scary experience to say the least, as we had a miscarriage last year. One thing we are so terribly bad at as humans is waiting. Right down to waiting on the Lord and His will. There is no advice I can give you that you haven't heard. As a man, I have even less insight than these other ladies. However, as a brother in Christ, trust in God. You're doing everything you can, but you're at the point my wife and I are at. We can't do anything else to bring this baby in to the world healthy. God is in control. God is sovereign. God is good. God loves you. Surrender to that. His will is done independent of how we strive. Because God is good we can trust that:

(Romans 8:28) “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”


(Matthew 11:28-30) “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

I'll say a prayer for you as I know the anguish in your heart. I live it every day as I await the arrival of my son. But I trust God and give my worry to him every day. He is in control. He loves me. His will, will be done.
