I've missed you guys....update on the placenta previa queen

Hi guys. I have missed you all the past couple weeks here. I'm in the hospital again. Been here since 2/14.....surprise, Happy Valentine's Day! Woke up early early that morning with some serious bleeding. Went by ambulance to the closest ER, and then my doc had me transferred per ambulance to a high risk facility farther from our home. The bleeding was much much worse than the times before, and now they've decided that I need to stay here in the hospital until baby Gage is born for safety's sake. On one level, I am very comforted to know that if I start bleeding like that again help is right here, but on another level I am exceptionally depressed with being isolated here away from my husband and children.

My husband is so awesome. (I think I've mentioned that before). He rented a laptop for me to use while I'm here in the hospital so that I would have something to keep me occupied. I miss him so much, I just can't even tell you. I talk to him a lot on the phone and he comes up here to see me as much as he can, but I want to be at home so bad.

Baby Gage seems to be doing fine. Gaining weight well according

to US. I'm 29 and 4/7 weeks now. I don't know if I can hang on for much longer. This is getting really really hard, and I am totally on the edge of being completely crazy.

Well, thanks again to all of you for being here to listen to my whining. Talk to you again soon.

I will be praying for you and baby Gage!!!

Aw, that really stinks that you are having to stay in the hospital! But I know that you are glad to do it for little Gage. Did the docs set a time limit for when they will deliver you? I'm glad you are in a high risk facility. I'm sure that puts your mind atleast somewhat at ease.

Sending good vibes and prayers your way!

Be sure to turn every so often so you dont get any bedsores from all the bedrest! :)

Good luck!

Honey my heart aches for all you and baby Gage are going through but just remember, the first time you hold him in your arms, the time will be a memory of love done to insure his safe arrival. Please write here frequently, we never get tired of hearing from you, shucks we'll even listen to your daily menu if it will help give you something to do. Hugs to you my friend and I am praying for you with all my heart. Duckie

I'm glad you're back and all's OK -- your hubby is absolutely awesome. :)

RNLou Sorry to hear of your troubles. I will pray for you. God Bless your hubby for the laptop.

I was wondering when you would take up a semi-permanant residency in a hospital bed! I stayed for six weeks (deep trendellenberg, no bathroom priveledges). Keep your spirits up and an eye on your goal. This is only a temporary bump in the road of life and will be a fading memory one day. Best Wishes!

RNLou... sending well wishes your way. Take care of yourself and baby Gage... get plenty of rest. It will all be worth it soon.

You poor thing! I'm still glad you are right there in case anything happens. Just try to relax, and realize this won't be forever. Your sweet little baby is in there saying, "oh thank you, thank you, Mommy!" Hang in there, girl, and keep us posted!

AAhh, the things we do for our kids! ((((())))) You're an awesome mommy and Gage is very lucky! Don't forget that!! This will eventually seem like a distant memory and you'll be left with your beautiful baby!

Post post post away! We're here to help in whatever (admittedly small) way we can!

I guessed you were in the hospital being that we had not heard from you. Make sure you come and talk to us to keep your spirts up.
