Very Soon to Be Holding Her.... Posted: 04-25-04 02:41am
Hello girls. Sorry I haven’t been on in
a few days, I have been having really bad
contractions and have been trying to relax
and in between make sure everything is
perfect for my princess! I am 35 weeks
today, as most of you know the baby is
about 5lbs, so the doctor said that if I
do deliver early, and probably will, she
will be just fine. That was a huge
relief to hear. Lol I got another one!!!
I
can’t wait! They are starting to
regulate, they are about every 10-13
minutes, lasting about 45 seconds. I am
so happy, but scared out of my wits! I
don’t know what to do. I keep thinking
about everything, labor, delivery, being a
mom, it all scares me half to death.
Anyone know how to get rid of these
thoughts?

I don't think there is a way to get rid of
those thoughts... You just have to do
it... Ya know? Good luck with
everything... Hope all is well

I am just scared that I will mess up or
hurt her or something. I mean I know that
she is just a baby and I have been around
kids all my life, but this is so
different, she is mine and everything I
do, say or act upon will effect her
forever. This is so nerve racking! Thank
you for your reply! Glad I am not the
only one! Lol

Yes I was dilated to 2 cms and 40-45%
effaced at last wednesday so they put me
in the hospital for a few days gave me mag
sulfate to slow it down and gc to speed up
her lung growth. Thursday I went back to
the er, and I had dilated another cm, so I
got another dose of mag sul and was only
there for 32 hours. I called my doc this
afternoon and left a message because they
are getting more intense they are between
5-7 minutes apart, but closer to 7 minutes
and are lasting 55 seconds. So I know
they are getting more persistent but I
don’t want to do anything til they calls
me back.
