28 weeks

I am so happy we finally made it to 28 weeks, I wasn't sure if we would make it this far. It is such a comfort knowing that if they come now they have a huge chance of surviving and being healthy. Just wanted to share.

I know how you feel! When I hit 28 weeks the sense of relief was enormous. I don't worry about every little thing now. It's nice to just relax and enjoy the rest of my pregnancy (I'm at 31 weeks now and it just gets better every day .) The good far outweighs the bad moments!

I am here too - yeah!!

 

Congratulations, we are all getting there aren't we. I hope to have more good moments too. Thanks.

Yah! It has been a rough road huh! You only have 4 more weeks, how is the hospital, bedrest going, any better?

Jen

 

WTG Jen! :yahoo: :yahoo:

 

I am right there with ya too!

I just came back from the visit at the hospital for the tour of the labor and delivery....I saw a little baby and got all teary eyed cause I was so touched thinking I will have two little bundles of joy shortly.

 

Yea!!!!!!! :a_smil09: I'm in the hospital, but only 26 1/2 weeks! I can't wait it get to 28 weeks!

Congratulations Jen - how wonderful. I bet you feel a million dollars $$$$$$$$$. I hit the 29 week mark today - with babies weighing 1210gms & 1219gms - so super happy and am measuring 33weeks.....

How nice is it to actually start to 'enjoy' your pregnancy - I feel like a weight has been lifted and I can now start to get to know my wee girls without worrying too much.

My ob said he is happy for me to go as far as I can - so no induction if not needed and they are both head down so far - so fingers crossed they will stay that way for a natural vaginal birth... yeeehaaa.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy - time to enjoy as the day draws nearer to when we all meet our little bundles of joy.

Stay well.

 

I was happy when I made 28. Congrats!!!

 

congratulations! I am also 28 weeks and on hospital bed rest. I live abroad though, so a bit concerning having preterm labor where there is a language barrier. If you don't mind, can you share what you doctor has told you? I am on IV meds for my contractions and was told today that I will not be leaving the hospital until delivery. I'm just crious how things would be handled if I was back home. Sorry to ask so many questions and CONGRATS!!!!

Congratulations. It feels like 28 weeks is forever away for me but I can imagine the relief you feel.

 

Congrats to all!

 

Hi jen

I hit 28 today (my ticker is off a day) I know how you feel… I even went to my Peri yesterday and heard magical words… "I would like to see you one last time in 5 weeks…" it was a hint of an end… it made up for the glucose test, 5 gallons of blood being drawn and having to get a rhogam shot….

YEAH for us!!!!

edit: i spelt my own name wrong... preggo brain strikes again...

I am really not sure about the whole hospital bed rest situation. I have not had to deal with that, and pray that I won't. I have read others posts about having shots and taking daily medications. There is a bedrest forum on this site that would probably be very helpful for you. I don't mind questions at all, I just don't know if I can always answer them. Congrats to you as well and I hope you continue to bake those babies.

Thank you and congratulations to all of you who have also hit 28 weeks. It felt like I would never make it this far. Good luck to all of us to make it as long as possible. :a_smil09:

Elizabeth, I can sympathize completely with the preggo brain, it is really bad this time around.

Jen

 

Great milestone! :banana:

 

whoohoo! only few more days i think once i start seeing the ob bi-weekly it will feel more real that an end really is in site
