My baby girl is here early at 32 weeks.
Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well. Well our little girl Emah Helena was born on my Birthday on June 25th, at 32 weeks 1 day via emergency c-section. I was admitted in the hospital on June 20th after my fluid was extremely low, below normal, and baby measuring 3 weeks behind. I was being monitored closely and given medication and 2 steroid shots for her lungs but on my birthday I had developed severe per-eclampsia and was told I would have an emergency section. I was really in bad shape, I could hardly breathe, I was shaking, I was lethargic, BP was way in the 190s so there was no option but to deliver. I was scared, upset that things took a wrong turn in a matter of hours
Emah was born at 3:11pm with her namesake by my side!! She was immediately prepped and sent to the NICU for being small. Baby girl came out swinging, wide awake, and healthy other than being small. She was only 2 lbs and 8 oz but was alert and full of attitude from the minute she came out!!!
I remained in the hospital until the 30th due to BP issues. They could not regulate my BP and they didn't want to let me go home. Emah still remains in the hospital and is breathing on her own. She is in the incubator with a feeding tube due to her being little. She is already eating about 1 oz every 3 hours and other than a few breathing pauses she is doing well and is working on getting some meat on her bones so she can come home
It has been really hard, I live about 45 minutes away from the hospital so it's hard for me to go see her daily so I go when I can which is 2 or 3 times a week. Not enough but I have 2 boys to think of and a recovery so I have to take what I can. Hubby is coming home in less than 30 days so I am excited for August to be here already!!!2/04

Thank you! Yeah, we chose the name when my son was still in the hospital. On the night he was woken up from his coma he couldn't say much so the next day he woke up asking for hot dogs and cheeseburger lol On that day in my home country Cyprus, it was he name day of people who were named after the Saints, Constantine and Helen and since a lot of my family lit candles in their names we chose Helen as a middle name and chose a different spelling of my MIL's name (Emma) so it really flowed well together!! I have this weird thing, I have to say the names of my kids as I would call them when they misbehaved so I had o repeat over and over again "Emah Helena, get your butt down here".. So it worked and there it was, we came up with the name
Kristofer is doing great, he was given the all clear, he is back to his old self 100% and most likely doesn't remember or remembers very little. Both boys started swimming lessons and so far all is well2/04

Hello, Atomic hopefully you will see this! It has definitely been a while. I am not TTC, my cycles have been MIA for over a year, I'm quite certain. I have not been charting but haven't had it....
Not sure where to ask not TTC
