I’m a retired NICU nurse. If your baby is super active it increases the speed of your roller coaster pregnancy experience! You are both handling this beautifully, and with thousands of supporters and your loved ones praying, I believe all will be well.
What does that mean it increases the speed of her pregnancy?
@Hey_its_KellyI’d like to know the answer too.
Meaning it is more eventful, I think?
My twin grandsons were born at 26 weeks. With all the ups and downs of micro preemies, after 3 months they were allowed to go home.
They are now 11 and just amazing kids.
Jessie and Alessio, rest and if necessary, stay in hospital as long as you can to keep junior in situ until he's ready.
You both have handled this incredibly well - everything will be well and your little baby will be perfect 🙏❤🙏
Level III NICU nurse here, ask for a wheelchair and ask to tour their NICU and speak to the neonatologists. It's important as a parent who might have a premie to tour thr NICU and have questions answered and expectations of the type of care your baby potentially will receive. Also is the hospital you are delivering at have a Level III NICU? If no remember if the baby needs a higher level of care it will be transferred out. All good questions to be asking now.
Great info
The tour of the NICU was a must for me. The nurses were able to answer a lot of questions and alleviate my fears. Our twins were born at 29 weeks after 8 weeks on hospital bedrest.
They should even consider level 4 NICU if it’s so complicated
Yes!!! We had our baby at a level 4 (neuro baby or the level 3 would have been plenty suffice!) The prenatal appointments with neonatal team were so reassuring and gave us a grasp of what to actually expect. Thank you for your work! You nurses give us so much support and confidence our babies are safe when we can't be present with them!!🥹💖
❤❤this is GREAT ADVICE!
We are manifesting 37 weeks. Right friends #37 weeks
God bless!! Wishing you all the prayers 🙏
They won't let her go that far if they want to entirely avoid any form of natural labour (contractions). But of course fingers crossed for a healthy as late as possible delivery for baby and mom ❤
Did they not say 28 weeks - since the position of the uterus?
YES 🙌
37 weeks. It will be so.
Everyone watching is probably thinking the same thing, wish I could give you a hug. This baby has so many virtual Aunts and Uncles praying for your little family🙏
Exactly my thoughts too. Jessi, you can cross-stitch, knit, crochet, and quilt. Can Alessio's mom come over to help him? He's carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. I'd help in a flash if I lived closer. Love Gigi in Nova Scotia Canada
@joselinprinsenberg2518 Alessio looks so warn out and tired. He needs help
Praying for you and that precious baby 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh yeah!! I just want to hug her and tell her it's going to be okay. Their little guy is already a fighter!
Amen ❤🙏🏻
If only all men were as precious as Alessio.
He’s kind, loving and so supporting … great man!!!☺️💙
If only.... ❤
She is very very lucky to have Alessio. So devoted and sweet but still manly.
@rutherose23Absolutely!!
I wish my husband had compassion empathy and unconditional love ❤
Prayers for all 3 of you. And kitty too.
I'm praying for the 3 of you. Dear lord please protect Jessie and her baby and make the rest of her journey easy. They are so deserving of this child.
Amen
Amen ❤
Amen 🙏
Amen, and all expecting parents, all children and everyone with health problems.
AMEN ❤🙏
My wife went into labor at 21 weeks with our twin boys dilated to an 8 but they ended up staying in there til 32 weeks. Complete miracle
Similar thing happened to me but only one baby - dilated to 7 cm with no pain and bulging membrane at 24 weeks. After emergency cerclage, I spent 2 weeks in the hospital and total of 13 weeks on bed rest. I delivered one day before my due date, a true miracle. No doctors believed we would make it full term.
@AnaAna-vm2qd those conversations with the doctor are Horrible but I understand them better afterwards.
Yes Science, Medical can do alot!
There are several cases of babies surviving at 21 even 20 weeks and those truly are miracles (made by the modern medicine).
Glad she is ok. When is the baby due.?
My brother was born at 28 weeks 30 years ago, and he’s now a healthy 6ft tall handsome welder. He’s perfect and medicine has come really far since then
My brother was born at 23 weeks, in 1966 at 2lbs. (technically a miscarriage.) He was in an incubator at the local hospital for three months until he reached 5lbs. He was in the local paper as, "The Miracle Baby". He is 59 now and in great health.
25 weeks my son... and he is 31 years old now perfectly healthy and medicine has improved since then.
He's very anxious to see and meet you!!! Praying fervently for you ALL!!
My daughter was born at 28 weeks 9 years ago,that was hard but she is very well today
a premature baby can even be nursed to health in a little shoebox at home I heard a story like that. When people are poor they have to do things like that but the baby comes out all right.
Sending prayers!!!
You’ve been through so much for this little guy. If being in the hospital means healthy baby and mommy then so be it 🙏🏻
More prayers for all of you🙏 ❤
Jessi n mri is a breeze No worries I had several . Faith
Easier said than done and she needs that acknowledged
Praying and believing that baby and Moma will be fine. The Lord has you all. Cast all your cares, worries, and trust in Him. All will be well ❤🙏💖💙
You guys arre and have been in my prayers. Former endo warrior here. I pray for a healthy little guy. Your cat will be ok. I never had children after many years and 8 miscarriages. I have a cat who is my baby. Prayers for you. I pray your endometriosis will be in remission soon.
I went through the same thing 33 years ago and gave birth to a healthy baby boy who is now a nurse! You’re in good hands.
Oh, the same. Our son is now also 33, and a daughter followed. Sending you love.
Praying for you all! Take care of yourself and you will take care of the baby. You are doing a great job Mama!
As far as what to do the next few months, this is going to be a mental journey and you will need to do mental activities (reading, puzzles, online classes, writing, planning), creative hobbies (drawing, crafting, knitting, scrapbooking, learning music), entertainment (movies, podcasts, audiobooks, video games, binge-watching shows), and social/organizational tasks (online shopping, writing letters, planning future events, organizing digital files, virtual visits). Don't forget light physical activities like ankle movements and maintaining social connections to combat boredom.
Create a routine that works for YOU. A million people can get on here and give you all kids of advice, but the bottom line is you have to do what works for you and your care team.
We will continue to pray for you!
You have no idea how much benefit your videos are having on so many other women. Especially those who are...or may go on to experience the same thing you are both going through. This is real life. Ive never been so invested in anyone's pregnancy in my life. You are both such amazing people.
I have no god....or faith that I follow.....so all i can do....is hope with all my heart that you both have a successful end to this journey you are on.
But in the mean time....please take comfort in the fact that you are both helping people, informing both men and women and enabling their own scary journey to be more informed and perhaps a little less scary.
I will with all my heath that I open this one day soon....to offer you heartfelt congratulations on the birth of your new addition to your family.
I don't think I've hoped for anything so much in my life! Im in Newquay Cornwall England and youve both affected me deeply.
One day....I hope to find a love like yours.
Xxxx
I agree with you in Jesus name, no more bleeds and you're going to get to 37 weeks!! Amen!
I come in agreement as well 🙏🏼
Agreed, Amen!
Amen 🙏
In agreement as well! 🙏🏼
In Jesus name! Amen 🙏🏽
While watching this video my husband asked what I was watching so I explained who you were and your story. We’re 7 years into our infertility journey with 2 miscarriages. When I told him what was going on he said we must pray for you, so we have just sat together and prayed for you Jessie and baby boy to be safe regardless of diagnosis. For a safe continuation of pregnancy, safe delivery and for baby boy to be healthy 🩵 love watching your journey and hope there is a light at the end of your long and hard tunnel 🩵🩵
Maybe lose some weight and get your insulin in order before you complain to the lord. Of course you can’t get pregnant if you already have a pregnancy belly😂😂😂😂
Praying for a baby for you soon 🩵
@kaylinde2321 on barren soil no seeds sprout
I know how scary this is, I bled my entire 1st pregnancy. I am praying God cover the three you with peace that surpasses all understanding. Love you guys!♥️
Amen! 🙏🏽
Amen!!
Im a placenta previa baby! My moms placenta fell out of her in the shower and I was born via emergency c section prematurely. I am here!! Praying for you both! 🙏
That’s incredible!!
@ronartest7748Wow! If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all. Why are you even following. 😑
@r@ronartest7748go away.
@tammyparsons5656classic rage baiting there with zero empathy. Don't feed the troll anymore.
what a horrible person you are.
You guys are so incredible! I just want to encourage you...I had Placenta Percreta (it is like Accreta but the placenta goes all the way through the uterine wall) I also had a complete previa. I was hospitalized from 24 weeks until I delivered at 29 weeks because of a bleed. My little Abbie was born at 2lbs 14oz and was the tiniest little peanut. But because I was in the hospital and they had been prepared for me to deliver for weeks, everything went smoothly and my little miracle baby turns 5 this year! Even though being in the hospital is difficult and changes how you get to spend your pregnancy, if you have Placenta Accreta it is the BEST place for you to be! I have been watching your story for the last few years and I can not wait to see you both holding that precious boy in your arms! You have so many people praying for you! Hang in there!
My friend had bleeding, clots, bed rest, delivered at 26 weeks. He is now a beautiful, happy, healthy six month old growing, thriving baby boy! Praying for you all. When that bello bambino is placed in your arms, you won't remember any of this. 🙏💙🙏
I'm a 52 yr old mother and grandmother, my son whom made me a Nana, was a terrifying pregnancy with the same issues as you, placenta praevia, by the time he arrived I had spent about 12 weeks, the last 6 weeks together. I dont know how we survived but we did! He is now a 6'4" father of 1. Saying stay calm amidst this fear and trauma is moot, but hold onto your faith, hope and connection to your son, we made 37 weeks x I believe for women like us boys are much harder to carry but never impossible, this is your time, your son is stronger than you fear, you've got this mama, bring all the fun to the hospital and try to treat admissions like a spa day, with crochet and movies and card games and fave snack ams best friends and before you know it, your darling son will in your arms 🩵🙏
I'm a premmie baby, I was born at 25 weeks, now... I was in NICU care, a healthy baby.. I'm 48. I'm praying so hard for you guys and baby. Sending all the good vibes.
My water broke at 21 weeks 4 days. I also had placental previa. I got hospitalized at 24 weeks as well. I ended up having my daughter at 27 weeks 4 days. She weighed 1 lb 8 oz and stayed in the NICU for 81 days, all during COVID (born July 2020). She's going to be 6 and in first grade. I'm praying for you, just know things will be okay. ❤
Wow that’s amazing!
I have a similar story. My water broke at 22 weeks. I was in the hospital until.I delivered which was at 31.6 weeks. I bled the first trimester but they could not figure out why. My daughter was in the NICU for a month. She is now 22 yrs old and my miracle. Sending Jessi love, strength and prayers. 🙏💜
I have a 26 weeker! 1lb 16oz from abruption. we love our miracle babies!!!
@SarahZambellaso glad to hear your story ❤
@ciopoloGod bless you ❤
Just to give you some hope. I was a 29 week preemie in 1971 and my son was a 32week 5 day preemie in 2008. We are both healthy no complications.
I had my last baby at 32 weeks she is doing really good she’s now 9 yrs old
Retired L/D nurse here - you're doing great Jessie - its so much to process - keep your eyes on the prize at the end of the pregnancy - have the shower at the hospital - and trust your nurses & doctors for they absolutely have your best interest at heart!
I had the injections for the baby’s lungs to ripe in both pregnancies and it worked completely fine. And my doctor said the person who invented this deserves the Nobel prize.
All the comments on here by nurses and mothers and fathers with a common experience are so heartwarming. 🙏🙏🙏 for you both and your baby son.
I didn't have Placenta Previa but I did have an episode at 20 weeks where a small spot of my placenta separated from the wall. (Probably because I had dragged a 2 shelf empty bookcase across the office at work, but we really were never 100% sure what caused it) I had not pain, no warning walked up the 6 stairs to my front door and suddenly a gush of heavy blood and huge clots. I completely freaked out!!!! Put on bed rest for 2 weeks and it never happened again. At 30 weeks went to monthly check and my BP was 190/110. Sent immediately to hospital and was basically there until I was induced and delivered my son at 34 weeks. I was developing pre-eclampsia so the decision was made to induce early as I was getting sicker and at 34 weeks they said he was well developed. My son ended up being 5lbs 4oz, 18 inches, never had any breathing issues and we went home 2 days after he was born. He was tiny but grew quickly. At his due date he weighed 8lbs. Hes now 29 and dad himself!!!!
Have hope! My best friend spent almost three months in the hospital with placenta previa and a subchorionic hematoma. She bled from start to finish but wasn’t willing to terminate. Baby girl was born healthy at 29 weeks. That little girl is graduating high school this year!
Beautiful story.
There was absolutely no reason to terminate. Why would a doctor even recommend that
@UnforeseenQueenMom was at risk to bleed out multiple times. Had 17 transfusions total in the hospital. It was no joke, very risky. Doctors were AMAZING and totally supported them but also made sure they knew it was risky. Baby was born via section after a large hemorrhage ruptured. Thank goodness she was literally next to the OR on the L&D floor or it could have gone very south. Miraculously and thanks to those incredible doctors, the kid is applying to college right now! Awesome! But really, risky stuff.
@UnforeseenQueenAlso… the doctor’s never recommended termination. Just let them know what options they had available. The hematoma became life and death for mom and clearly for baby too but under supervision she made it to 29 weeks and did brilliantly! The doctors saved their lives.
I know so someone who went through the same thing...healthy baby in end but she was in hospital on bedrest til baby was born and baby healthy and is an adult now.
Very brave of you both to document such a personal situation. Much respect for anyone going through this.
Oh, Jessi. I remember the worry that crept into my mind all the time as I awaited the arrival of my baby during my very high risk pregnancy. Our baby was desperately wanted, as we’d been thrilled to finally get pregnant after infertility and pregnancy loss. I delivered at 34 weeks, in a planned c-section, with a cardiologist in the room in case I had a cardiac arrest during delivery. (I had cardiac complications caused by the pregnancy, and my heart could not get us to 40 weeks, and they suspected I would not survive typical labor). Those weeks of constant medical appointments and bed rest got to me. But in the end they were worth every second. And I’d do it all again in a heartbeat (haha - little joke. My heart complications drastically improved after delivery, and after 1 year, my heart leaks were reclassified as ‘benign’). I will be praying that you look back with your healthy baby, and think the same thing. For me, it’s been 17 years. And those years FLEW by. As a good friend told during the months of sleepless nights and endless diaper changes, ‘some days feel endlessly long, but the years fly by’. She was absolutely right. ❤
I cried the entire time I watched Jesse be so strong and calm. I wish I could be there and just hug you. I promise I will pray for you and baby every day until you bring your beautiful baby home.
Prayers for you, Alessio and Bambino ❤
Amen
I did this too. 10.5 weeks in the hospital. You’ve got this lots of meditation and imagine that boy growing. 37 weeks here we come.
As a OB RN praying for you. You’re in great hands.
Oh sweetie there's no rule book on how to handle scary overwhelming medical situations. You are not handling it weird, you are being a mom and handling it. Your baby is one lucky little boy to have a mama who is fighting this hard for him already.
And major kudos to Alessio. Every video it is always "we" and not Jessi or she. He's in this with you 200% and that is something super special ❤...and he's even thinking about the sick cat. Wishing all FOUR of you the best case scenario and that baby gets to bake for a couple more months. Hugs to you all!
yes, poor Micia. kidney disease and 'alone'. Alessio is a rare treasure. I hope Micia and the baby have a long time together😭💔🐾🐈💕
They're a wonderful couple. I love watching the two of them interact. They are literally #couplegoals.
The nurses and doctors are typically very happy to allow a baby shower! We have one to my friend in a hospital conference room and it was beautiful!
Lots of prayers for you all!
At 27 weeks my son was born. I had placenta previa and a 10 percent abruptly. He was born be C-section. Was in the NICU for four weeks. He is 35 years old. It's tough but with God. . .❤
That’s right! With God … nothing is impossible!! ❤
Yes, mine was 24 weeks 30 years ago.. he was in nicu for a bit because of his lungs but that was the begining of the new serfactin drug. He is a healthy 30 year old now. Prayers for this lovely deserving couple.
I've never prayed for a couple I do not know more than you two . . . .God is our refuge and strength. An ever present help in time of trouble. Psalm 46:1
Please do listen to that recommendation! I had the same diagnoses with my second IVF baby. The first bleeding episode was light around the same time went to the hospital and was discharged. I had no more issues till 32 weeks. Woke up with heavy bleeding and went to the hospital bleeding stopped but stayed in the hospital for a week. I was discharged and the day after I went home bleeding started again and this time would not stop. I ended up losing 4 liters of blood and almost lost our beautiful miracle baby but thank you to God and the amazing EMTs, Firefighters, and emergency staff at the hospital our baby is going to celebrate her first birthday in about a month. ❤ You have worked so hard for that beautiful baby boy ❤ it is worth it to be extremely cautious. I am praying for you guys❤
🙏🥹❤️
women go through so much!! the support in general is abysmal. So lucky Jessi has a one in a million husband and supportive family and work conditions
My wife and I had our child at 26 weeks our daughter came into this world at 3 1/2 lbs we also did hormone injections no choice, my daughter is now 12 - 95 lbs and drives us up the wall, this is what I call the best of life.
My twins were born at 26 weeks as well! 2 lbs and 2 lbs 2 oz. I spent 32 days in the hospital on strict bed rest before they came, and we spent 96 days in the nicu and baby b came home on oxygen. I bled the entire time I was in the hospital. My boys are now 4 and as big as my 5 year old. They’ve been reading and writing for two years, literally. God is good, all the time. ❤
🙏🏻Praying your MRI tells you that you can go home 📿
❤ hang in there, all positive vibes your way
My grandson was born at 26 weeks..he weighed 2.3lbs and was 14 inches long. He spent 66 days in NICU..and today, is a super healthy, and active 5 yr old! Its amazing how awesome these micro preemies do!
Sending lots of prayers for that baby boy stays inside his Mama!!
Wishing you the best 🙏
I was a gestational surrogate and was diagnosed with placenta previa at 20 weeks 5 days. I had two minor bleeds and one major bleed that luckily happened in hospital. They recommended I be admitted in hospital until delivery by c-section. I had the steroids and got a planned delivery date for c-section. However Baby decided to come 7 days before the planned date, I was being monitored for contractions and was able to catch early labour to have an emergency c-section. Baby was born healthy at 34 weeks 6 days. I was in hospital for a total of 62 days, yes It’s scary and some days the stay felt like there was no end. I was super thankful for family support, friends and amazing hospital staff. I wish you the best, many prayers for a safe delivery for you and baby! ❤
Thoughts and prayers are with all 3 of you. Athens, GA.
Dear Jessie and Alessio, Im pregnant with my child after 6 years of marriage, IVF and I wanted to write to you because I feel what you are going through. I had a huge bleeding all over my legs after getting up from a chair at 14 weeks due to a hematoma. I was on complete bed rest for a month and stopped working (I am a doctor myself) and only walked in the house to bathroom and kitchen and outside by car with my husband driving. Thank god I’m now on my 36 week waiting for the little one. My sister also had a placenta previa just like you and gave birth to a healthy baby girl at 36 weeks she also stopped working and did minimal effort. As a Jewish woman - we believe that on the time of the birth the women can ask god and the sky is open for her wishes. I will pray for the 3 of you to become a happy family and for the baby to be born healthy. If you want you can write your Mother’s name so my prayer will be accurate. ❤️
Please send her name. Another Jewish Ima praying for you all.
This is a beautiful birth moment I was unaware of that Jewish women could experience during birth. Thank you for sharing such wonderful and personal glimpses to your religion. Praying for a healthy birth for you and your baby.💖
Don't write your mother's name !!! This is a scam/evil !! No where in the bible where God himself gives us instructions and where we get to know him says anything regarding this or anything near what this person suggested !! Preying on a pregnant worried family is evil and dangerous.
@faithpatience.I don't understand about writing writing her mother's name? Where and why? Why does her mothers name have to be written? Genuine question.
@faithpatience.Wow youre the wrong one here
So much pain and fear in your eyes, I'm sending lots of good energy to you and your little one
Lord, please be with Jessi and her baby, keep them both safe and we ask that the bleeding stops and that the MRI shows no placenta accreta. Be with her medical team as they come up with the best plan to how to navigate Jessi’s specific situation. We thank you that Jessi is surrounded by a good medical team and in a good hospital. Please bring her and her hubby peace and strength. We ask these all things in Jesus’s name, Amen.
Amen 🙏
Amen
Amen
Amen 🙏
Amen 🙏
Jesse & Alessio, first of all, I want you both to know that I am praying for you, and your sweet little boy. I, too, am claiming no more bleeds for you and for a healthy delivery! I also want to share this with you..... My first pregnancy was filled with risks from the moment I conceived until the day I delivered her. I bled off and on the entire time I was pregnant with her. I would pass huge clots, which would always lead to an ultrasound to make sure my baby was okay. At 24 weeks, I began cramping and even lost my mucus plug. I went to the hospital to discover that I was in labor. I was immediately placed on steroids to help speed lung development in my baby, as well as medication to stop the contractions. I was able to carry her for another two weeks. I went back into labor and that time, there was no stopping it. I delivered my baby at 26 weeks gestation. She was born weighing just over 2 pounds. Today, she is a healthy 21-year-old woman. Premature birth is not an ideal situation. It is scary and uncertain. It's a difficult road to walk because premature birth comes with a whole list of its own complications and concerns. Even so, I share my story to let you know that even if your baby must be born prematurely, there is so much hope that he will be healthy and will grow up to be big and strong! You are in good hands with your medical team. And, I am praying that God will hold all three of you in His!
I sense you are people of faith…please know, God is never surprised. Take a deep breath and rest in His Providence and Care. Peace. You have many people praying for all three of you.
God just give them a healthy baby boy, they deserve it more than anyone
I had a placenta accreta and now have a healthy and happy 10 year old. I made it to 38 weeks and have had 3 pregnancies afterwards. No other accretas! I hate that this is happening to you guys but know that you are in our prayers.
How did you make it out of an accreta with you uterus?! I had to have a cesarean hysterectomy in May for accreta. Makes me sad to think there could have been another option.
Wow, that’s amazing! My friend that had placenta accreta ended up having to get a partial hysterectomy. So happy for you! God bless you!
Sending lots of prayers and hugs. How far away is the hospital?
I hope Jessie feels reassured by your message of hope. This is what she needs to hear ❤
I had an undiagnosed placenta accreta with twins.
I went in at 38 weeks 2 days for a c-section on my planned delivery day.
After both babies were out, they told me I had a tennis sized ball accreta attached to my uterus. They got it off and sent me to PICU. I began hemorrhaging. In the end, with enough clotting medicine, 2 immediate blood transfusions and intervention- I didn’t have to have surgery again and kept my uterus.
They told me once you have an accreta you are much more likely to have another so they advised me to never get pregnant again. That I would have to have a c-section and I wouldn’t make it off the table.
5 years later I got pregnant spontaneously (my twins were IVF).
Not only did they allow me to continue, I had a VBAC and our miracle baby with zero complications (but lots of precautions).
Just know, they are trained in many different outcomes but it IS possible to be a healthy mama and have a healthy baby even with it. I know I am very fortunate to have survived and still have a uterus. I pray everything goes perfectly well and mama and baby are happy and healthy!
I am so glad you have good doctors! I will be praying for y'all.
52 yrs ago I was taking CNA training. There was a baby born at 1lb 2oz. By time training was finished he was going home. It was amazing to watch his progress.
🙏 🙏 🙏
I lit a candle for my mom in heaven and Im asking her to protect your family. Im going to light one every day until your baby is born. Love your family .
I think that is beautiful. Made me cry. Well I was sort of beforehand. I love this couple. It's a lot to go through for them both.
What a beautiful and touching thing to do.
I usually never comment on videos or posts, but this resonated. Just wanted to say, that you've got this, settle in, treat it as a home away from home. Last year, when I was pregnant with my baby girl as a FTM, I had to stay in hospital for around a month (from 32ish weeks, gave birth by C section at 34 weeks, another 2 weeks of NICU stay) due to Amniotic Band Syndrome. We found out about the ABS at 26 weeks, had to travel to the hospital every week since then for ultrasounds to check if there was still blood flow to her little leg, as it was constricted by the band, and once the blow flow was very faint did the C Section (we wanted to keep her in the womb as long as possible to prevent other preemie problems, it was really a big toss up between these two decisions - saving her leg or minimising prematurity). Ended up saving her leg too, so best of both worlds really! She is now super active, hitting all her milestones despite being 6 weeks premature, and has a bit of a journey ahead of her to correct the leg. But I'm rooting for you guys, staying in the hospital is daunting, sometimes scary, especially since it's a long wait, but you can do it, all will be well. Try to make the room, the space yours. I stayed in a room with two other women, we became really good friends, so once you feel settled in somewhat, it's worth it to get to know other women around you and their families. I used to pass my days doing crafts in my bed, each one of them like a little future gift/a little prayer for my baby girl.
NICU mom here. I delivered my 2 beautiful baby boys twins at 26+2 weeks. Now they are 16 months old and thriving❤
My journey was long... The twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome occurred where one baby was taking a lot more fluids than another. And the bigger one was really in critical condition because it was too much for his heart to pump. I was admitted to the hospital 7 days before delivery. They did the surgery to lessen the syndrome - and it was good since they managed to get 5 more days in my belly. But every day I had few exams where they checked the babies vitals etc and I have had to set up my mind to go day by day. And every day that passed I cheered and was really happy that they stayed in my belly. The doctors admired my positivity.
So the day came when they needed to came out so the pediatricians can save them. So they stayed 3 and a half month in the hospital, fighting every day to live. But I remained positive even though some doctors didn't give me a lot of hope for the more risky twin. He had few ups and downs and after one month he just got really better and he was getting better ever since. So now I am having the time of my life with them. I still cannot believe how beautiful and strong boys I have right now, they don't have any health complications anymore❤.
What this period has taught me is I can never plan with them, I need to be patient and stay positive even though the doctors scared me. And after it they admired my positivity and state of mind(btw I had few times chrashes, especially after I managed to held one baby boy with all the machinery that was keeping them alive). It's amazing how babies pick up mother's feelings.
Be strong and positive, and emit your strong love energy you have for your baby boy ❤ it will be good🙏 I saw some babies delivered at only 23 weeks and now they are completely fine
❤️🙏🏻 I had bleeding throughout my first pregnancy and delivered a 9 pound baby girl. Prayers for all of you.
Then you for helping every family that has struggled to see another family go through it ❤❤❤
Praying from a High Risk OB nurse who also dealt with difficult pregnancies (bleeding and hyperemesis gravidium) ! Please stay in bed!!!!
Awww, this made me tear up when you told your little kitty that you would bring mommy back. Sooooo sweet. Prayers for you all to have an uneventful rest of your pregnancy.
Hi there!! You got this!! As a LD nurse I know this can be very overwhelming and so much info is being thrown at you at once but they’re doing everything right and to get the Betamethasone at 22.5 weeks is completely appropriate and recommended to speed up his lung maturity. And if you do have an acreta then being inpatient until delivery is the safest course of action for you both. In 25 years of LD I’ve had many patients with previas and acretas. It’s high risk but you’ll be watched like a hawk and taken well care of. Everyday is a win, take baby steps , day by day approach. He’s a fighter and so are you. Deep breath mama. Many hugs
What you're experiencing is parenthood. It's basically lurching from joy to fear and back again. Little guy likes to keep you on your toes ❤
First of all, immediately get necessities like premie clothes, diapers, wipes, etc because you don't know when it could happen and you need to feel prepared to take a little stress off of you.
Secondly, I have an almost 4 month old and I am 40. I was hospitalized 7 times total with high bp and eventually preeclampsia. Had a 2 vessel cord instead of 3 and had to do weekly mfm ultrasounds. She was in the 3rd percentile for weight and size. It seemed like every time I went to an appt, which was 3 times a week, I always ended up with bad news and my emotions always got the best of me. But she was always active and well. I ended up being induced and delivered at 37w 5d. It was a bit traumatic for me, but my baby girl is happy, healthy and continues to grow😊 even though every single item on my birth plan went out the window. Prayer works even if things continue to go how you don't want them to. And you have a lot of us praying for you all!❤
Also, my midwife said that steroids are especially important for boys because they don't develop as fast as girls. I still ended up with the steroids though.
I’m the mom of 2 preemies (pprom not the same reason) but I understand all the feelings. The scariness, the shock, the feeling like you are on a rollercoaster and no one can stop it.
First I want to say it sounds like you are in amazing hands and all the things they are suggesting (steroids, magnesium if contraction start) are all things that are great. The steroids really saved my second one a lot of the complications my first had because he didn’t get them in time.
The best thing you can do now is to try and keep yourself as zen as possible. You can’t control your body but you can do things to calm your mind. I had done hypnobirthing class and my teacher came to the hospital and did like a meditation with me. It was so helpful. Also if you can talk to a therapist via zoom to help you try to make this as close to the experience you want for your child, that would be helpful. Anything that might help you manage the stress. It’s a traumatic experience so anything you can do to process will help you stay calm, and importantly help you be present when baby arrives.
With my first I was not prepared for this and ended up kinda disassociating and not remembering much. With my second I did therapy before and my guided meditation helped me to stay focused and reminded me to like take pictures, write things down, and smile in pictures with my son even if I was scared.
And my boys were 28 weeks, and are now healthy 10 and 12 year olds. Hang in there. This is hopefully just a blip on the way to parenthood.
Absolutely praying for y’all! Please take it easy. I was admitted to the hospital at 19 weeks after complications from twin to twin transfusion syndrome surgery. I bled for 32 days until my placenta detached and babies were born via c section at 26 weeks. I had 3 rounds of steroids before they came, and they were 2 lbs and 2 lbs 2 oz at birth. They never had to be intubated, just put on oxygen. 96 days in the nicu and baby b came home on oxygen. They’re 4 now and the literal pictures of health, and of His miracles. If doctor says bed rest, PLEASE LISTEN. Find something to take your mind off things, read the Bible, pick up a hobby, whatever you need to do. I know it’s scary. Stress is hard on you though. Sending y’all so much love, and praying for you both, and your sweet baby. ❤
This happened to my sister with my nephew 24 years ago! But he was born just fine, a few weeks early, but now hes 24 and just a great guy!!! Prayers for y'all, I know its scary! You got this Mama!!!
Hang in there, one step at a time! You are doing amazing and sounds like you have a great team behind you. I had a different problem at 20 weeks where everything happened really fast. Part of that process, they had us speak to someone from the NICU who explained everything that would happen if we did have to deliver at 24 weeks. I kind of tuned out because I didn't want to know until it was a reality, but it really helped my husband to know step by step what would happen if that became the reality. If that's something that would help you, please ask your doctors if that's something you could do.
We ended up with an emergency C-section at a few days shy of 26 weeks. That was a few years ago and now a very happy toddler.
I am hoping and praying for you and 37 weeks 🙏🏻
I went on bedrest at 14 weeks at home. I had repeated crises with short stints in the ER at 17, 19, 21 and 24 weeks. I got the steroids doses for the baby at 21 weeks and then they did a second dose a week later. At 27 weeks, I went into the hospital full time and stayed until emergency delivery at 33 weeks. It was a little lonely in the hospital family-wise but it was reassuring to be close to people who could immediately help. He was born in an emergency but I was in the hospital so we both lived. We were in the NICU for weeks afterwards but he is a healthy, happy 21 year old. If you get put in the hospital, it will be okay. My thoughts are with y’all! 😊
Oh, and I had my baby shower in a hospital conference room that they set up for me with the help of my lovely nurses and hospital staff. It was lovely! 😊
I was lonely at first but then invited the nurses and nursing students into my room for pizza parties.
One of my brothers was born at about 30 weeks due to placenta previa complications. That was almost 64 years ago and he is a grandfather of seven. I had placenta previa issues with my second child but my issue was only during labor and birth because my placenta was trying to be delivered first. And I bled during my entire third pregnancy with no complications. And my granddaughter was born at 30 weeks due to preeclampsia and weighed about 2.5 pounds. She is a healthy and very active 3.5 years old. Prayers for peace and a healthy child.
Had Iriritible Uterus and a subchorianic bleed at 17 weeks. Was blessed to do my moderate bedrest at home, from couch to bed for 5 months. We did all the testing too. And he did the backstroke happily until 38 1/2 weeks, and is now a happy 12 year old. I was in and out a lot. We celebrated every milestone of viability. Praying for you too! You have a big beautiful room and a well trained team! You and they are doing all the right things.
Ob nurse here: I’ve been silently watching your progress with baby boy. First and foremost I’m so happy that you are expecting your first baby. I don’t want to tell either of you what to do because that can be very daunting to say the least. Listen to your Ob. Some advice however would be this. If they offer that you stay in the hospital till delivery. Everything is there to ensure a safe delivery for both you and baby, specially if you live far away. Hospitals are used to dealing with these types of things and many of them have areas where you can have a small shower so don’t give up on that. It will help your mental health and keep your mind busy. You got this Jesse! Keep that baby in there as long as possible. Prayers to you and Alessio. You will soon be the parents of a sweet baby boy! ❤
You stated what has been on my mind all along. This is a high risk pregnancy no matter how you look at it. ❤
Thank God you are in America
I think they gave her the large individual room with the thought that they could be staying there for a while. I experienced this myself. ☮️
I have also been watching in the background but I'm NOT a professional.
I was a high risk pregnancy & accepted it bc I was coming from an abusive relationship. I went into active labor @ 19 wks & I was in and out of hospital until I was hospitalized @ 26 wks. I was successfully kept until I was 37 wks on which day I was driven from an impromptu baby shower "in labor". My healthy, 7 lb 13 oz baby boy was delivered early the next morning (i have an extremely narrow pelvis! 😂
The Universe has been VERY generous w/ me & my 2 boys. My baby boy is now 38 & single father to 3 children himself. He ADORES them, but is partial to his Princess. The boys accept this, I think 😅.
I have had you in my thoughts & think the Universe has a special place in for us Italians. I'm Italian-American by culture. My Dad raised me almost single-handedly bc my bio-mother didn't. It can be like that sometimes. The Universe gives us opportunities but some ppl don't always accept them.
Be blessed! ❤❤
Shower? I read this as having a wash? Was confused. Are you talking about a baby shower? Who cares at this point. Pointless commercialism.
Oh my goodness, how frightening for you both. I hope this resolves itself quickly and safely x
Many prayers for this beautiful family. We pray for a safe and healthy mom and baby!
I listened to this and relieved what happened to me not 3 months ago… IVF baby, went for a regular check-up, high blood pressure but it seemed manageable. Fast forward one week and I was kept in the hospital for 10 days with preeclampsia 😢 got the steroid shots, the constant monitoring and bay got delivered early. Thankfully modern neonatal medicine is very good!
Keeping you in my prayers raga!
Yea same thing happened to me w my daughter shes 7 now. Feel better ❤❤
I think I would want to stay in hospital as long as I can because that would make me feel safe and peotected. At the slightest thing you are in immediate care, and not hourlong drive away. All will be good
Not me. I can’t sleep while hospitalized. I need my husband and familiar things around me.
But how we feel is inconsequential, Jessi and Allessio will make decisions based on doctors’ recommendations.
Sending you lots of love and prayers ❤
…From a fellow mom with adenomyosis who had complications with my pregnancy last year. I was admitted at 22w3d because I was starting to dilate and had to remain on bedrest. My daughter went through a similar course of steroids. I remember praying everyday for just one more day and one more week so that my daughter would have the best chance of survival. It was the most scared I’ve been in my life, but my husband helped me stay strong. After 5.5 weeks on bedrest in the hospital, I had to have a c-section because she was very small and her HR was dipping a lot. My daughter was born at 27w6d and was 1lb13oz, she spent 108 days in the NICU. She was discharged at 8lbs4oz thanks to the best NICU team! She just turned 8 months old and is very strong, healthy, and starting her random screaming and grabbing everything phase! You wouldn’t be able to tell she is a preemie when you see her! I’m sure your OB team is looking out for what’s best for you and baby, and the NICU team will take care of you if needed. Although the journey is tough, it is all worth it! You got this, mama!
You are at viability. I hope you have a fairy tale for a few months, but I'm very glad to think about you just staying in the hospital. You have a long drive from home, and I'm scared thinking of you in a scary moment with Alessio driving fast. Get those lungs pumped up with the shots. Every single week counts. Nothing is a guarantee, but if you have a boy with asthma or a boy who needs a month or 2 to gain weight in the NICU, it's all good. Most importantly, we need YOU. Alessio, make it clear that she is #1 always. Looking forward to your little family at home in a few months.
Little guy sure seems anxious to make his big presentation!
Rest, rest, rest.
Praying for all 3 of you!
Alessio the way you treat your sweet kitty! So gentle and kind you were to her and telling her mama will be back so she wasn't worried. That melted my heart your going to be an amazing father and I will be praying for you guys! ❤
Praying for y'all!! It can be stressful. But try to get some rest!!
I'm a placenta previa baby...born at 28 weeks 44 years ago and and I'm here...never had an issue and had two healthy pregnancies myself. You got this!
I developed pregnancy induced hypertension with my first son. I was in the hospital on bedrest for 2 months. It was a very frightening time for sure but the care I received was amazing. I viewed the time as a pre-labor vacation. I did not have my husband by my side as he was not interested in hanging out at the hospital with me. Some days he didn't even call. God was my rock and I spent my time reading, resting, and trusting Him to be my strength. I had an emergency c section for delivery but was at peace in my spirit because I was never truly alone. God was with me. My son was only a week early because of the wonderful care I received. My son is 41 now with a family of his own. God is good and all will be well. We are praying for you all!
Praying in agreement, in Jesus' name, for the rest of your pregnancy to be uneventful, for baby boy to stay in his comfy spot until he's fully grown, for delivery to go smoothly, for Jessi's health, and baby boy to be healthy and strong.
❤️🙏
Retired high risk OB nurse here. I felt like you should have been referred to high risk MD when the previa was discovered. I cared for many patients who spent a large portion of their pregnancy in the hospital. It is definitely the safest place to be in high risk situations. You would be amazed at how quickly they are able to deliver the baby when it becomes emergent.try to stay calm. All WILL be well!
I concur, as a retired High risk antenatal nurse. You are in good hands at the hospital.
I believe she already had a high risk OB because of the problems she had before she got pregnant.
@janec385No she didn’t, she wasn’t seeing a MFM specialist, which was why one was called in to review her case, as she spoke about in the video.
I’m glad she’ll be staying in the hospital until delivery, best place for her ❤
Agree
"I take the sushi. I'm already in the hospital in case something goes wrong"! 🤣
no don't do that actually i had sushi at 9 weeks pregnant and then ending up getting food poisoning we eventually ended up in the er i was fine baby was fine and we got the earliest pictures of baby that we ever have
Amen! I stand in agreement, this is the last bleed and you will make it to 37 weeks! Praying for you both and baby boy! ❤
Prayers rising for: healing angels, skilled doctors, gentle caretakers, and peace of mind.
Even though it’s not what you imagined being in the hospital for the rest of your pregnancy is going to take a lot of stress off of you… and it’s the safest place to be for you and the baby.. no worrying about being at home and having that long drive if something happens.
💯!
I was hospitalized from week 22 to 34 (in Europe). It sounds scary but it wasn't too bad. It actually felt like my last real vacation. 😀
😅
And how he's 23 weeks old... grow quickly, sweet boy! Praying for you all, in Jesus' name.
I was due with my 1 and only at 36yo. on March 21st, 2005. I began bleeding and active but not progressive labor on 2/16, losing fluid. On 2/19 I woke bleeding and contracting. At the hospital they were worried and stopped the labor with meds that made me violently ill. So will in the hospital my baby shower was moved to 2/20. At midnight that same night I refused the meds and labor began. I labored for 13 hrs and gave birth to a beautiful, perfect and healthy little girl weighing 5lbs 3ozs 19in. So a month early but we went home on the 2/22. My precious baby girl will be 21yo next month. The time has flown and with all the ups and downs I'd do it all again in a heartbeat!! God bless y'all ❤
Having a specialist come and tell you straight up that info and what should be done is good, it's terrifying but good. You don't want to find out last minute and have complications down the line when its too late.
My youngest came at 34 weeks and I had the steroid shot to help his lungs. He is now 22yo, 6'1" 200+lbs. You and the baby got this! I know you are stressed so practice box breathing. It will be good for you and the baby. Sending you strength and positive energy.
I just had a similar experience last spring with placenta previa! We started a nonprofit called The Wait With You Foundation- always happy to talk, you aren’t alone ❤️❤️
Prayers for you and baby, it is possible to deliver at 24, I was a 24 week baby and I was born in 1958. So prayers for you guys.
Your little boy has the heart of a lion.. if he comes a bit sooner or on time you will hear him roar and all will be as you dreamed it! Keep the faith!! ❤
Continued prayers for all 3 of you! You're in the right place to wait for your little man to arrive. Glad all is still fine with you and baby boy.
Thank you for saying everyone is okay at the beginning. I've never prayed more for strangers more in my life. Sending all of the love, prayers and happy healthy baby and mama.
I have a friend who had placenta accreta. Long story short, she and baby made it through, and baby is a beautiful 18 month old. Just wanted to share that❤
Big hugs to you. Normal pregnancy after pregnancy/child loss is filled with fear on a good day, and you’re dealing with so much more.
Prayers for you three.
I’m so sorry for these scary events. Thanks for updating us and for putting our minds at rest right away.
I went through this with my son. I was on strict bed rest for most of my pregnancy. He was born 3 weeks early. Healthy and strong. So, I’m praying the same for you. In Jesus’s name!
