Well. This isn’t exactly how I envisioned writing this pregnancy update: from my phone, inside a hospital. But then again this entire pregnancy has been one surprise after another.
I drove myself here Monday at 3 A.M. after waking up soaked with amniotic fluid. So far baby is holding on. There is no real way to tell how this thing is going to turn out. I could go into labor any minute or hang on like this for weeks. The nurses tell me that their job is to keep me pregnant as long as possible and stave off infection. The Perinatologist I saw was a real downer with no good news.
I miss my 2 year old terribly. Being away from her is the hardest part about this. I have been ready to grieve the loss of my unborn child for 11 weeks since this mess began. But he’s not giving up and I’m not giving up on him.
Dear God, please bless Carrie, this precious baby and her entire family with incredible peace. Please give them energy and rest. Thank you for the gift of life and the grace of your very presence. In Jesus name.
Hi Carrie,
I just wanted to let you know that you’re in my thoughts and prayers. Hospitals are the place to be in situations like this. Take care.
Emily
So sorry, Carrie that you are going through this. My heart and prayers go out to you. Love and peace. While you can get some rest and do all that you can to keep your hope. Sending love much love your way!
So sorry to hear, hoping for the best for you and baby. I’ve been considering my last experience waiting in a hospital for my sister to deliver her baby, no problems for her but I felt paralyzed in a twilight zone. It’s hard to break through issues; fear, anger, sadness, to thrive but I hope that can be your experience.
I’m sorry Carrie, and keeping you in prayer.
Hi Carrie just want you to know your are not alone I PPROM at 16 weeks and 4 days and now I am 20 weeks and I still have hope. I will keep you and your baby in my prayers. 😉
