So, this is my first time ever on Mom Life. I am currently 34 weeks pregnant. Due October 17, 2016. Some people are excited for labor and birth....the birth of my little baby girl is uncertain... It's uncertain because I've been told by doctors since about 15 weeks pregnant that I needed a medical abortion... Some may say I'm wrong that I've carried this pregnancy but I have faith and want to give my daughter a fighting chance.....my daughter has underdeveloped lungs so immature that steroid shots will not help her which is why I won't be given the shots... Her bladder doesn't work and her kidneys are cystic. She is in NO fluid at all. I've asked the doctors how and why she's in there that way with no fluid... They want her to "mature" more before they take her...but the longer I hold her in the more I'm suffering because I know she is....as much as I've prayed to anyone who will listen that she has a fighting chance the truth is that in about 6 weeks or sooner... I could possibly deliver her out stillborn, or she can make a couple of hours...The doctors said if she comes out fighting they'll assist her in her fight but if she doesn't have functioning lungs then she's gonna be made comfortable until her passing. If she does survive her birth my baby will be immediately put on dylasis. She's my everything, my first baby... You'd never expect anything like this....
@mommytomya, I pray she does also. Everyday is a blessing!
@nolans1stlove, Thank you so much! That's my belief as well. They said she could pass away in my tummy but she's here today! I pray she proves them wrong after birth as well.
@mommytomya, they can let u deliver her now and she would be perfectly fine because she has no fluid is what's hurting her I feel it's a liability thing there are looking at instead of what they went to school for I'm going to school to be an obgyn for maternal fetal medicine which pretty much helps high risk women like in your case have a successful pregnancy if u can at least make it to 35 weeks she would be even greater but she needs fluids that's why her lungs and kidneys won't function correctly even causes failing bladder the fluid helps the baby learn to use all those functioning organs deff see a MFM or a specialized ob gyn someone who helps high risk pregnancies
Never give up hope! No matter what? God has the last day so. Not doctors! My granny always told me that. And I still believe it. I will pray for you and your unborn. Whatever gods will, let it be done. But I do pray life over your baby! A miracle be in the mist and performed by god! You hold that baby and pray Hun! God has had you and that baby all the way to this point for a reason! Don't give up! Keep praying people around you! I don't know you, but I love you and I'm praying for you! God is and will always be in the blessing and healing business!
I just typed in what you stated and found old post but these moms claimed it help there preemies when they had no fluid and there lungs developed
@novaskyy, Thank you SO much! Yes, and I want her out before 39 weeks...she's inside me with NO fluid.
Because u have no fluid the lungs are not going to develop
@kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, I am. I plan to switch doctors...I'm getting so much bad news about her with no options.
Yeah I just looked up SC laws and they really want you to have your child at 39 weeks when that whole state is known for low birth weight and preemie babies they have a D in that....I would deff look around at other doctors or hospitals if u can to get more opinions or something cause I can't believe they won't try and help I know Florida they use to help at 20 weeks now the law has changed to 23 weeks your daughter deserves that chance she's a miracle I have faith that she will make it thru and overcome despite what those doctors believe or say they are still learning day by day
Prayers love ❤ I am so sorry for what you're going through... No first time mother should have to go through that kind of pain 😥
I think you need to get a second and third opinion any way that you can.
@novaskyy, My baby isn't just measuring 2 weeks under, she has underdeveloped lungs like so underdeveloped at one point on the ultrasounds they questioned if she even had lungs. she has a failing bladder and cystic kidneys.
That's a lie they are bsing you my son weight barely 4lbs and because I was unable to eat and was constantly sick they gave them to me they were giving me shots before he even came out and gave him shots once he came out
@novaskyy, I've asked to still receive the shots even if they don't work give my baby the chance. They won't because they insist it won't be of any benefit to my baby girl no matter what gestational age she is...
They won't help if u make it to 35 what state are you in they gave me shots to help my sons lung developed while he was still in me due to my medical history with loss
I understand how you feel I lost my daughter a week after I found out I was having a girl both our lives were at stake I wanted her to live not me I'm praying that your daughter will be healthy and prove those doctors wrong keep on fighting baby girl we all have faith in you
May the 👼 s surround her and you.You have an incredible heart i can tell and your fighting for your daughter too.
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️

Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Praying for you and your girl. You are bringing tears to my eyes because of the strength you possess. Keep fighting and keep holding on, somethings gotta give. 🙏🏼💜
