Friend In Need of Prayers Posted: 12-21-05 11:39am
I got a call this morning that my friend
who's 6 months pregnant had to be rushed
to the hospital because she was passing
mucus and blood. After going to her
usual hospital, they sent her to a
specialty hospital. I just talked to her
husband and he said that she could be
there for 2-5 weeks. Her water bag was
bulging when she got to the hospital.
The baby weighs around 2 lbs. And they
are trying to keep it in for as long as
possible to increase the chances of
survival.
Has anyone delivered a baby this small and
it survived?
Please pray for her.

Yes I had my baby at 28 weeks 6 months. I
was in the hopsital for one month and put
on bed rest until the baby would come. I
was 2 cm dialted at 5 months. I was able
to keep the baby in for about a month.
She was born three months early she
weighed 2lbs. And 6 oz. Adn was in the
hopsital for three months and now she is
three years old and doesn't even look like
she was born early. If u have any
questions I will be happy to answer them
the best I can . Good bye and I will pray
for ur friend. Bye gina.

Hiya, it is possible for these little
babies to do really well even though they
are small. Your friend will have some
drugs to help strengthen the babies lungs
to make sure they are stronger then usual
at this stage of the pregnancy. The
technology now a days is excellent and the
staff on the baby units are very well
trained. I have delivered a few
premature babies who have survived. Good
luck to your friend and tell her there are
lots of people thinking about her. Xxx

I just got a call from her sister. She
has to have the baby tonight. She's 6cm.
They just gave her the epidural. The
doctor thinks the baby will be fine,
because the lungs are developed enough.
I wish I could be there, but she's 3 hours
away. I pray that baby kaydon anthony
will be just fine!

She had the baby 2 1/2 hours ago. Her
mom said that he came out kicking and
screaming and that he was fiesty. That's
great, because it means his lungs are
working pretty good. They're both fine,
but he'll have to stay there until march
(her due date month).
