Really need some moral support

[Tigger87]

My SIL is due Sept 1st. She's just gone into labour, at 26 weeks. I feel terrible.... I don't know what to say, what to think, what to do for them. We live so far away that we can't physically be there, I just feel really lost and sad and helpless

 

[SeonaidMac]

Oh hun i don't know what to say except sending you lots of hugs xx

Babies can and have survived being born at 26 weeks hun. They will need all your support once baby is here because it will be in hospital a long time and that's when you can rally round for them you have to keep positive xx

oh dear, i hope they can stop it, when i had DD1 there was a lady who was in for prem labour, it was the 3rd time they had had to try and stop it and they managed to stop it til then, she was 37 weeks by that point

 

[Tigger87]

Tey can't stop it. Her waters went Saturday and she is going to have it tonight or tomorrow apparently. She's in London, close to the best hospitals, and I'm telling hubby it's all going to be fine. It's another baby wiggles so it has to be strong and a fighter, and the odds I've read are very much in its favour.

I just wish there was something I could DO, rather than just thinking optimistically, but I can't

Hey tigger sending you hugs. Hope the baby is okay. Like the girls say babies can survive at 26 weeks. It's amazing what the doctors can do nowadays. Just keep thinking positive thoughts huni xxx

Sending lots and lots of strength and love to your SIL and her OH and of course their wee man!! XXXXXX

Aww I hope he's ok. I also know someone born that early and now a little toddler, so I do think these days it's more often a good outcome with everything they can do. I can only imagine how scary though x

 

[Samantha55]

What are apgar scores? Are they okay ones he has been given? Congratulations to your family and you on being an aunty! Hope baby is doing okay and will keep on fighting! Xx
