Off Topic but I am scared

[jess0930]

I am in the hospital. Today is Saturday and I went in Thursday night with contractions 2 minutes apart. The scary part is I am only 26 weeks pregnant. (40 weeks is full term) I don't really go by months but I think that is about 5 or 5 1/2. I will be here till probably Monday they said to make sure I am not going to give birth to him. Do any moms out there with premature babies know of an online support group I can go to? If I have this baby early, it will be my second premie. My first son was born at 34 weeks. My water broke at 31 weeks with him. Right now I am 50% effaced and a finger tip dialated. I was a finger tip dialated with my first son when my water broke. I am scared and need support so if you know any websites or anything I can talk to other moms that would be great. Praying I don't have this baby early. I have already been away from my 9 month old son since Thursday and it is killing me. I miss him so much! I am so glad I have such a supportive husband and family. I just need to talk to moms who know exactly what I am going through.

Aw Jess Im sorry you're going through such an ordeal. You are in the right place though & it sounds like the hospital thinks you are going to be ok if they plan on letting you out monday. I cant help you with support groups sorry but just wanted you to know Im thinking of you. Why dont you google it?

Hi. I dont have any websites for you but i wanted to say im praying for u. I went into labor at 25 weeks and was scared to death. With meds and bed rest i was able to keep him in untill 38 weeks. maybe this time will be different for u and u will be able to carry longer. I wish u and your little one well. Hang in there.

Hugs to you!!! I know how scary that is. At 21 weeks with my 2nd, my water was leaking. Long story short, it sealed itself which was nothing short of a miracle. It was the scariest time of my life though, so I know the fear you have right now. I am not sure of which websites you could visit, but wanted to say I will be praying for you sweetie!
