I'm in my hospital bed with the exact situation as we "speak". d#1 was born at 29 weeks. So far, with lots of interventions, I'm at 301/2 weeks this time.

preterm labor
My daughter's babysitter is now in the hospital for the second time with preterm labor. She's 23 weeks. The neonatalogist said that the ultrasound showed a high level of amneotic (sp) fluid & that is causing contractions. She also had a bleeding episode last week. This time she got the high doses of magnesium, steriods and antibiotics. Poor thing. Anyone know about this type of situation?

Poor thing, I feel forher!!
You could refer her to sidelines.org. They provide support either online or via phone for moms with high risk pgs--especially thoseon bedrest. It helped immensely when I was pregnant with my son--so much so that I am a volunteer now. (Well, they "retire" ya when you're pg, but after I deliver, I can start up again.)
