I'm looking for input from both L&D and NICU nurses. I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant with my 3rd, and home on strict bedrest due to contractions. Had two trips to L&D in the last few weeks with frequent Braxton Hicks (>15/hr the first time, >20/hr the second). The first time I was sent home after a negative fFN, the second after 2L of LR and 2 doses of terb. I should add I have had two c-sections, the first vertical d/t spina bifida/hydrocephalus in my son. My second son was born via emergency c-section at exactly 37 weeks after they were unable to stop my contractions with terb and he started having decels. The hospital I will be delivering at has no NICU, although they can deal with minor complications, I'm just not sure what (will be asking at my next appt). My husband and I have talked about this, and would still like to deliver at my original hospital, if my little man (yes, ANOTHER boy) gets transferred, my husband will go with him. I also cannot take Procardia d/t low BP (often 80s/40s at rest normally). I'm sorry this is so long, just wanted to make sure you had all the facts and background I could give you. I'm just wanting any input you all can give me on what to expect if I go before 37 weeks or if baby needs transferred. I know all babies are different. I'm not looking for sugar coating. I need facts on what you have encountered in your careers. My doc seems comfortable with a 36 week delivery if it happens. What are your thoughts? I'm an Oncology nurse, don't know nothing 'bout no babies!
