Baby B's water broke this morning at 3:30am. Bianca is not in labor yet as she has no contractions and no bleeding, but we have a two test confirmation that her water did break. Doctors have put her back on IV fluids and a new set of antibiotics. We are over the 24 week mark which was a primary goal, by now 3 days. The steroid shot was given almost two weeks ago and we may be given a "life saving" dose at this point. The on call dr is not a high risk specialist, but she has already alerted the team as well and the NICU. Baby is head down which would be the best position for a vaginal delivery, however if there are any additional indications that she is delivering this morning a c section will be performed.
At this point Baby had a good heart beat and is doing as well as can be hoped for her size. We have to have faith and trust that we are in the right place and that everything will be ok. We have been prepared for this and know that we have done everything we can for our girls.
We are both holding on to faith and hope and prayer. We probably won't know more for a few more hours but for right now we are holding tight.
This does not mean Bianca is delivering yet, but if she is going to based on the water breaking it will be within the first 72 hours. We have to do more of what we are good at which is waiting...
Faith, hope and prayers! ♥
