Veronica is in hospital..

Hello it is Veronica’s Mother here. Veronica has been admitted to hospital for observation. Vonnie has an infection and has started a course of antibiotics. They have done a fetal fibronectin test and we will get the results tomorrow. We want a negative result because that will mean that Veronica isn’t in early labour. A positive result means that there is a 50/50 chance that Veronica will start labour within the next 7 days..

But at this stage (8.00pm on saturday night) all seems to be well. Veronica’s cervix is not dilated at all *phew* The baby is fine with a good heartbeat. He is nice and active and kicking Vonnie in the bladder..

So now you all know as much as I do..

cheers Kim

shit shit shit..

Vonnie has just rung me, the test results were positive. So they will now give Veronica steroids to help mature the babies lungs just in case…

    I usually only visit here for Weekly Winners but I wanted to stop by after I saw the message Lotus posted on her WW’s. I will keep you in my prayers for God to keep your little man inside. I will also pray that if he indeed is born, that God will keep him safe & watch over him. (((BIG HUGS)))

    Oh gosh Kim, this is so upsetting. I know there are medications that will prevent labour in some cases and I hope something like this can be done for Veronica. I’m glad to hear the baby is well and kicking.
