older sister needs in thoughts right now and lots of good luck

[angelsmama]

She's only 34 weeks pregnant and found out today she's already dilated to 2. Her Dr. told her to just stay off her feet and relax, if she gets any worse than to go into the hospital. Let's hope this little one can wait just a little while longer. She needs all the good luck wishes and thoughts she can get right now.

Sending positive thoughts to your sister.  My daughter was born at 34 weeks. She was small 4 pds 10 oz but in the end it all worked out fine.( I don't think I would have wanted a bigger baby...lol) They just want to eat more in the beginning..it does not take them long to catch up

It is amazing what they can do medically these days for the little ones that just can't wait to enter into the world.

Tell you sister it will all work out

As Icerotti said, they have made a lot of advancements in dealing with premies. I was born at 32 weeks and about 4 pounds (dropped to 3 pounds and something ounces). I stayed in the hospital for about 2 months and needed a shunt, but I came out of it fine-and this was in '81. I bet she'll be just fine. All the same, I'm sending good thoughts her way.

One funny note-clothes didn't come that small, so my parents had to dress me in doll and stuffed animal clothes for a while! Plus, they had to special order my diapers-the cloth ones they bought and the regular store type were just too big.

Prayers from south Dakota coming her way !

Stay off her feet and relax.  Right.  Gotta love Drs.  Do they really have any idea how difficult it is for a woman to stay off her feet?  Will definitely be in prayer for her!

Sending her, the baby (and you!) lots of warm thoughts and prayers right now that this little one will join our world safely.  Hope she follows the bedrest order - as hard as that may be.

Friends of mine just had her wee little one (just over 2lbs) she was 29wks, water broke and went into labour at 25wks, her actual due date is(was) this Sat(Nov 4) she is over 6lbs at home and doing well, she has had acouple set backs but that is to be expected with a wee little one. Tell your sister to relax and take it easy, I know this will be hard as she has 'last' min. things that she 'needs' to get ready. Take each day as a day closer to the end, some woman can begin dilation weeks in advance, just means her body is getting ready. Keep us posted, finger crossed and sending prayers your way
