I love how you preface every video with Jessie and the baby being okay. I think that is so wholesome and sweet in a world where every video is clickbait.
once i got a call from a unknown number. a woman said: „hello i am Vera, i am a friend of Christina, first if all i want you to know that everything is ok and Christina is fine. She went snow hiking and was hit by an avalanche and is now in the hospital. you need to inform her college teachers please, so they know why she is absent for a while.
i was so relieved by the way she said it. so in similar situations i always start with „first if all, xy is fine, no one is hurt or in danger, but…“
bless you guys
Totally agree! They seem to get that viewers care about them in a human kind of way, not in a "how can I monetize this"- kind of way.
Agree so strongly with this
Yes! I made a similar comment on one of their earlier videos. I so appreciate this. Awful to make you sit through a long video and wonder if everything is ok.
@SGprideYes. That is a very good way to approach a situation like that.
I'm a perinatal health researcher and I've published research on placenta accreta. I just wanted to let you know that while there is that risk of hysterectomy, most women who have accreta will not need a hysterectomy. In ny population based study, we found that only about 12 in 100 women with accreta had a hysterectomy. It's good news that they couldn't diagnose definitively; that hopefully means that even if you do have it, you will be on the milder end of the accreta spectrum.
It is absolutely amazing to me that you happen to have published research on this exact topic, and can offer this data as some reassurance. Sometimes, the internet isn't a bad place. Thanks for your work in science!
@sarahjfarber The Internet is a global village.
Hang in there Jessi and Alessio we are all praying for you ❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻you got this… you can make your room your own bring pictures and things that feel like home…
excellent, thanks for sharing this!
God bless you two. Praying everyday for the baby and for ya'll to get the results you want. I am glad you are safe in the hospital. ❤❤
As someone who had a high risk pregnancy i appreciate SO MUCH that you let us know at the beginning of the video that you are ok and don’t create titles that purposefully create anxiety for your viewers. Sincerely, thank you so much for this.❤❤❤
Keeping all of you in my thoughts.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I was coming here to say this--you're so kind to reassure everyone while you're in such a stressful situation yourselves. You're going to be great parents.
Very appreciative that they do that! Held my breath when I started their video
Honestly so true they are so genuine and not click baiting ❤
YEEEEEEEES! They always start with "The baby and Jessi are ok!"
I'm a therapist and work with many perinatal clients. We talk about mountain imagery a lot - only climb the mountain you actually need to climb, not the "what if" mountains. Those are just mountains in the distance you can look at every once in a while and say, not my mountain to climb.
Omg this is amazing advise! My mom just got diagnosed with cancer and go down spiraling with all the what if’s.
Thank you for giving me a mental picture to combat this anxiety!
wow this is great advice
Great advice!
This is advice all of us can benefit from. Thank you.
As a high risk labor nurse I suggest. Sit in the chair to eat meals. Decorate your room and have a calendar for counting days. Allow family and friends to bring food. If you create a relationship with a nurse dont hesitate to ask for them when they are working. Join any available patient support groups. Art therapy, craft group etc. Get a sound machine! If you can walk the halls or go outside! Establish your schedule for vitals, fetal monitoring. You have that right. Bring your own pillows!!!!
Agreed. I also worked in OB/GYN departments in 2 hospitals, the OB/GYN nurses even had admitted patients with complete placenta previa to the hospital for close monitoring.
Also if you have a heavier thicker blanket bring it as well. Those hospital blankets don’t keep you warm at all!
Set up a schedule as much as you can. It will help you feel you have some control.
This!!! My nurses knew to let me sleep in and not to wake me at night! Bring all your comfy pillows and blankets!
This !
As a RN who worked in OB for most of my career you’re in the best place. You’re so strong. God has you. Using your platform to educate those without a voice is truly what you can do and are doing. This will help others. It could save lives.
Amen! 💖
@ronartest7748 what kind of a comment is that? How insensitive.
@ronartest7748Wth! That is the oddest comment to post. WHY?
@ronartest7748 Extremely in bad taste!! 🤦♀️
@ronartest7748seriously?
I had placenta previa and was in the hospital for almost 4 months. My suggestion is to have things from home that will give you comfort. I wore pj's to bed but got dressed every day unless I was having a test. I had my favorite blanket, my pillow, socks, slippers, soaps, robe, plus more. This was pre-computer, no cell phones, just 13 channels and 2 people to a room. You can now watch movies, use your Kindle, listen to audiobooks, learn to crochet or knit. Alessio will be there a lot but won't be able to be there all the time. Knowing him as we have come to, I'm sure he will want to spend every moment with you and this you cannot let him do. Your kitty will need him, he will need rest and a shower and sleep.
You are in the best place to be for your family. You got this!!
I was in antepartum for many weeks before delivering my triplets and they took amazing care of me. (I knew it was a possibility all along because of my high risk pregnancy) I would suggest getting some things from home to make you feel comfortable. Lots of entertainment, phone chargers etc…. My husband would bring me clothes and wash what I had there (I didn’t have to wear a hospital gown) he would come every few days because he still had to work and care for our home and cats. My parents would come and also my friends. Everyone would call me to also “keep me company”. Best wishes for a long stay and healthy baby & mama.
She knows to crochet!!😊😊😊
such great advice!!! Move in to that room and bring your pillows for sure
This is great advice- I’d also ask for a PT consult to see if there are any activities/ exercises that you can safely do just to keep your muscle tone/ strength up.
They let my husband take me outside in a wheelchair a few times to the garden at our hospital and I appreciated those few minutes here and there. The nurses would occasionally wheel me around to get me out of the room and take me to the coffee stand.
So glad you are there for them to monitor you and care for you
Praying for Jessie, Alessio and baby. I’m also praying for the doctors, nurses, US tech, MRI techs to please bring this baby into the world safely and healthy and watch over Jessie.
My wife spent the majority of her pregnancy in hospital. All I could do was watch while I almost lost her more than once and throughout it all, I never once gave myself a second thought - I had to be there for her and be strong for her. On reflection, I wish I had taken just a little more time to look after myself, as the scars are still there (years later), and your story and strength bring back a lot of memories, and deeply-hidden emotion. I have no advice for you, Jessi (not beyond the amazing advice I've already seen here), but Alessio - you must take time to look after yourself (shave, shower, eat well, talk) - and by talk I mean make sure you find someone to share your thoughts and fears with. Whether that is a friend, the hospital chaplain, an advice line, a family member... anyone. You have an important role to play here, but you don't have to do it alone.
That’s an amazing and often overlooked perspective. Thank you for sharing and I know it is not an easy thing to do. My first pregnancy had a lot of complications and baby in NICU for 2 weeks. My husband never had any paternity leave or FMLA, he had to work thru it all. I made sure he got some self care time and this was over 15 yrs ago, before self care was a thing. You can’t take care of someone else without taking care of yourself first. ❤
Same. My husband spent 6 months fighting for his life and I almost lost him multiple times.
Looking back, I wish I would’ve taken care of myself too because the trauma from going through all that is still so fresh and little things trigger anxiety now.
Wise advice!May I share talking to Jesus/God is the best!Psalm 139
yes from a dad that has been there, take care of yourself also because the baby and wife are going to need you later and you want be good physically or emotionaly for them. my wife went in at 19 weeks and delivered at 29 weeks . we have a handsome now 30 year old son ! JF
Did u get steroids right away? Often after a first bleed, 🩸 the following one is larger and likely delivery is imminent. Discuss magnesium sulfate with your team due to your gestational age.
Pregnancy is the initiation in our surrender journey. One of the biggest journeys in life. Prayers for you guys.
How about a virtual baby shower? Register for things you still need and they can be delivered and you could celebrate and open the gifts that we your virtual friends send. This is a way for us to share in your joy ❤
Great idea!!!!
Love this idea!
Yes! And a way to provide support because this all sounds very expensive.
Yes - fantastic idea!
Would love this!
After my 5th ivf I was blessed with my first positive result.At 26 weeks I was diagnosed with PP so was hospitalized untill he was born at 37.3. He is now a strapping 6 foot 14 year old. Positive vibes
6ft!!!!! Damn that is crazy. Congrats on getting through it all ❤
J and A….God Bless you both.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My son was a fertility baby - I had gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, pinched sciatica nerve, was on bed rest for a month AND he was born a month early. He’s almost 19 years old, first year in college and just the most amazing human being. I remember crying when they took him via C-section and I heard him cry, not just because he was finally there but that all that hard work to bring him into the world safely and alive paid off. This child and y’all are being lifted up in prayers all over the world. Just remember you are all warriors.
What a great story!
Hello!
I have had a few long hospital stays. Here is what I did to help myself cope….
Environment
1. I had my own blankets and pillows.
2. I put an afghan on the couch in my room for a spot of bright colour but also for my husband if he wanted to nap (and he did).
3. I got some positive mindset posters for the wall to keep me motivated and optimistic. These were crucial to my mental health.
3. I asked for colourful flowers! They brought me a lot of joy.
4. I brought in a laundry basket with a lid for my dirty laundry. My husband had another one at home and we would just switch them out. I asked him to just take the laundry out of the dryer as is and I folded it at the hospital for a sense of normalcy.
5. I had a dresser in my room so I moved in - no living out of a suitcase. This was my home for the foreseeable future.
Myself
1. I got up and dressed every morning. No hospital gowns unless I was going for a test.
2. I got some fun, non-slip socks (and eventually some fun patterned compression socks)
3. I did my hair and make-up
4. I made sure to moisturize! The hospital environment is dry and my skin began to dry out. I used cream, special face cream, and stretch mark cream. This especially made me feel like I was looking after myself.
5. I journaled. It was very therapeutic.
6. I worked on a cross stitch for my baby’s room. You may want to find something you can do specifically for the baby so you can pour all your love and thoughts into it.
7. I coloured. Colouring is such an excellent way to relieve stress and anxiety.
8. I called my friends and family and invited them (if they were healthy) to come visit. Bring a board game or deck of cards!
9. I had date nights with my husband. He brought in supper (either homemade or restaurant) and we watched a movie or played a game. A few times we did a puzzle together (100 pieces so able to complete in a few hours).
10. I insisted on leaving the ward at least once a day for a change of scenery. When the weather cooperated we’d go for a short walk/roll outside for fresh air - even in the winter. This was also key. I asked my friends to do this with me too.
If I think of anything else I did I’ll add on.
I hope all goes well! Long term hospital stays can be gruelling but I hope it IS long term for both of your sakes. Much love from Jen in Canada!! 🇨🇦 ❤
An Afghan on the couch? 😂
Gosh I thought, what?! You need protection? 😂
This is a great list!
I agree with the previous comment that this is a great list! One thing I'd add from my experiences in the hospital would be to get some battery operated candles. They were so nice to have around the room, and they added some light without having to turn on the harsher hospital lights. The doctors and nurses also loved them and said the room felt so relaxing💗
These are amazing. I wish you were there in 1990 to give me these suggestions during my seven-week stay.
Awesome share and self care!
Hi Jessi, this is my ever first comment on RUclips, but I just feel like I have to write to you guys, because I was in a very, very similar situation just one and a half years ago - I had heavy bleedings during my pregnancy, got into hospital at 21 weeks, just counted and prayed for every day that we got further, gave birth at 27 weeks and spent four months there in total there. And now I am lying next to my baby and writing this to you. My baby got very well through all of that and is now a very lively, cheeky and happy Boy.
I just wanted to tell you that you are so much stronger than you think you could be - not to mention the little human inside your belly. Everything is going to be okay!
Lots of love from germany
Congratulations🥰🎉
When you feel stressed or want to cry, get a favorite children's book and read to the baby. Talk to him, both of you, and one day you look back and say, "it was hard but we made it." Praying for all of you, Little Lion has so many rooting for him.
that's a great idea about reading MANY books by the time Leone comes!! Prayer life will definitely grow. That's one of the biggest gifts out of this. When we are able to handle our own lives, we believe in God. We leave him as an emergency contact. When we are not in control, and scared and helpless to handle it all, we then go TO God, who never condemns us waiting. He was and is waiting, too.
This is such a lovely idea!
Such a precious idea
When I was on bedrest in the hospital, I was on two meds that made it difficult to read my normal novels. This sounds like a wonderful idea. If they give us an address, we could all send her our favorite board books and they could keep a few and donate the rest to the children's ward.
to much info keep it private
Noise cancelling headphones that you can wear while sleeping is the number one thing you will absolutely need, because there is so much going on around you in a hospital (including people walking into your room all of a sudden) that sleep can get extremely challenging.
I hope you have a hobby that you can enjoy while sitting/lying in bed? Doing something that brings you joy and mastery will make the next 18 weeks or so feel more satisfying. Keep your brain alive with challenging games, crosswords or basically anything that you have to learn from scratch, even if it is a type of solitaire.
Make sure you have warm slippers that, despite the name, prevents slipping so that when you're out of bed, you're safe and comfortable. You will probably also crave a knit sweater (front closure, very loose fit) in addition to a bath robe, as shoulders and arms can feel chilly whenever they are not tucked in, but you need to be able to entertain yourself.
High Risk OB RN here: you’re in the best place for you and baby! Hang in there Mama! Highly recommend a NICU tour for preparation for having a preemie. Also, highly recommend having things from home, comfy clothes, photos, food/snacks, blankets, etc. journaling and crafts for yourself to keep your mind busy! You got this!! Praying for you so hard. ❤🙏🏻
Preeclampsia mom of twins.
I remember triage saying at 28 weeks you’re here for the duration.
To this day I never felt sick, i didnt let myself fall apart because it was about safety period.
Alessio you do so well calming down perfect strangers who care about your family......your growing family. Hospital rest will go by quickly!
I have been following your journey for a while and then when I got to know about your fertility struggles, IVF challenges and FINALLY the much awaited news, I thought your struggles are finally over. I recently came across your videos and was heartbroken to see that they aren't.
But, what amazes me is the resilience you guys show. That has JUST NOT changed. My mum used to say, 'God only gives you challenges that he knows you can tackle.' I myself went trhrough fertility struggles before I conceived our first child and know how hard it is. You guys are already doing an amazing job. The fact that you have come this far means there IS GOING TO BE a super sweet ending to it. I can feel it in my bones! And I personally hated living in the hospital and wanted to labour at home in a familiar environment. But, at the end you gotta do what you gotta do and as others have commented try to make the hospital your home and you never know what kind of new connections and bonds you might form out of this stay of yours. Praying for you guys!
Hello! I had placenta previa and accreta. I stayed in the hospital for 7 weeks. Made it to almost 34 weeks! Wahoo! Definitely get your pillow and a soft blanket. We brought our Roku and plugged it into the TV and it made the hospital tv a smart tv which was a life saver. I had coloring stuff, puzzles, books, and knitting. My husband and I did escape rooms and played games. I was allowed to take walks around the Antepartum area so that was nice! I always tried to get ready for the day which helped. It actually went by faster than I thought. The hardest part was not seeing my other 2 little boys and they could only visit once a week. Its definitely a good thing you are there. I would go a couple weeks with no bleeds and then have 1 or 2 in a row. I did end up having the big bleed and contracting so I didn't quite make it to my scheduled date of 34 weeks. But even with that, the team of drs and nurses and everyone was so calm and collected and it really eased my nerves and anxiety. Baby is doing great! He was in the NICU for 3.5 weeks. Now he's 10 months and thriving. Ill be praying for all 3 of you! 💕
Great tips!!!!
Thank you for this..currently 28 weeks + 1 day and this sounds so encouraging. I also have 2 kiddos at home and its so hard being away from them.
@AdamandJessBerlinIm sorry! We definitely did alot of FaceTime and when they did come and visit, we did a craft sometimes and other times they just wanted to snuggle in the bed with me and watch a movie. Definitely one of the hardest parts about living in the hospital. But it was all worth it and I'm so thankful I was at the hospital when everything started to happen. Hang in there! You are doing great! 😊
This is so encouraging.
I didn't know you could do that. Thanks.
You hit 1 million congratulations. Hope the income pays the bill taking one thing off the worry list.
Hospital chaplain here! If your hospital has chaplains, I encourage you engage their service! They are there for emotional and spiritual support and additionally can be another way to battle the boredom. You have been through so much and have always supported each other so well! I am glad you are feeling confident and comfortable with your team of experts. I have been following your story (but haven’t commented thus far). Know you have the support of a community rooting for you and your little one! Sending the prayers you have expressed are important for you and holding you in love.
SUCH a good idea! Thank you for the service you provide people!!🙏
Amen 🙏🏼
Excellent call. Thank you for your service.
Thank you for everything that you do for others. What a great idea!
Indeed! ICU nurse here. Chaplains are the most amazing and valuable team members in healthcare! I love our chaplains.
Way back in 1982 I was diagnosed with Placenta Previa at 7 months. I was sent for my very first ultrasound ever, I never had 1 with my first. I went back to the hospital clinic & they said I was to go straight to the hospital they would be expecting me as I have Placenta Previa. I was in a bed right next to the bathroom & was only allowed to go to the bathroom & shower & then back to bed. My Placenta was half way across the cervix & 2 weeks before my due date they decided to see if they could manipulate it under general anaesthesia but it ruptured & they had police hushing blood from the other end of the city to the hospital. I ended up having 6 bags of blood & a beautiful baby boy 9lbs 7oz. Then in 1987 I had it again the doctor said it was rare to have it twice, but this time I was on bed rest at home because the hospital was a 2 minute drive away & the doctor was at the bottom of my street. My Placenta was completely over the cervix this time & I delivered 2 week before my due date. I had a transfusion again & another health baby boy 8lbs 2oz. So out of 5 pregnancies my 1st was the only natural & the other 4 were c sections. I hope everything goes smoothly for you guys & I will be following your story. Sending love & Blessings to you both & Thank you for sharing ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💞🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘
With tears in my eyes, I’m praying so hard for you and the little lion
As a previous L&D to long time NICU nurse… the hospital is the best place to be. Ask to tour the NICU and meet with the NICU staff frequently that way they begin to feel like family instead of strangers (especially since they will likely be at your delivery just to be safe). Decorate your room! Lots of pictures, twinkling string lights, some sort of light that gives you peace, your own blankets and pillows, slippers, your own shampoo/face wash/toothpaste/chapstick . You could also keep a jar next to your bedside. Every day you stay pregnant, you can add a blue bead to the jar. This will symbolize the strength and fight you and your little boy have. Afterwards you can make it into a necklace or bracelet to remind yourself how strong you are.
You could learn some new crafts. In the NICU we love giving babies a crocheted octopus. The babies grab the tentacles and it helps with brain development (it simulates them grabbing onto the umbilical cord in utero). You can also create a special lovey (like a soft heart) that you put against your skin and then put next to the baby so he can always smell you and have that comfort. You can always make milestone cards for your baby while in the hospital so you have something to do. Some moms find journaling/scrapbooking their pregnancy comforting. You can add pictures of ultrasounds, record first kick, etc in there. You can also journal how you feel to help you process your emotions.
I’m so sorry you are going through this. For now remember it’s okay to cry, it’s okay to be scared, it’s okay to be mad. Your little miracle boy is worth it and finally getting to hold him against your chest will be the best moment of your life 🩵💙
This seems like really excellent advice. Nice to hear suggestions from “the other side” as in the nurses etc.
This was really beautiful!
Thank you so much for this! I have been meeting nurses like you, and I cherish the road you walk on, from all the parents in the world I thank you!
Fabulous ideas/advice. You really are thinking outside of the box!
This is so beautiful! Strength and patience to Jessi and Alessio ❤️
I had IVF, twin pregnancy. Went into labor at 23 weeks. Bed rest 3-1/2 months. In and out of hospital with one complication after another. Made it to 36 weeks. Twins are 22yrs. Watching this video I am so proud of you both for how you are processing the information. It is good to cry and share your thoughts. I hope you are getting lots of hugs! Keep doing what you are doing. Rockstars!!
Praying for you all! Its been 5 days since a video and I am praying that you are just taking some time to yourselves and resting! ❤❤❤
Retired RN here-when hospital is slow ( nights and sometimes weekends) you can ask the nurse aides if they can take you in a wheelchair down to cafeteria or gift shop and even outside weather permitting.
My best friend had previa and a subchorionic hematoma. She spent three months in the hospital. That choice saved their lives. Baby girl is now 18 and applying for college. ❤ You got this. ❤
Tolerating a long hospital stay is easier when you have a focus. Finish a baby blanket, make one for others. Read that book. Puzzles, games. Learn a language. Learn calligraphy. Find bed exercises. Take an online class. This can be an opportunity to ... You know what you your interests are.
Always in my prayers 🙏🏼 & Misha too.
You could crochet those octopus dolls the nicu babies need
Love your idea to take a class. That is a great idea!
I'm going to add embroidery to your great list of ways to keep busy in bed. It has helped me during times when I can't get around.
Yes!
@mswetra2610 oh yes that's a great idea. Embroidery takes your mind off things, just as knitting, learning watercolor, fun things to take your mind off things.
You are such an incredible couple. You sharing your journey and the love, strength and support you give each other is just wonderful, there are so many who will be encouraged by you. All the love a prayers for the best outcome for all of you.
As a nurse, I recommend bringing comfort items from home like linens, religious objects that bring you comfort, a laptop, coloring books, or some kind of hobby . Personal snacks, drinks etc. Trust me, we do not mind to work around your personal things, as long as they dont get in the way of you or the exit in the case of an emergency! Many prayers, praying little baby hangs on for as long as possible!
Thank you for all of the updates. Always praying for you three and 🐈⬛
Is there a PO Box where we could send cards or notes of encouragement? It may help pass the hours for Jessi in the hospital to read notes from all over the world.
That’s a good idea!
Yes! I would love to send a note! Great idea!
Yes! Or care packages with hand activities she could do! Like scratch art, coloring, and such
I would love to send them a copy of my book Baby My Baby.
Was going to ask the same!
Definitely praying! I was in your position years ago! I was living in Italy and had to be admitted to the hospital and I had to stay on my back or side, I was not allowed to sit up or get up at all! All my ultrasounds were done in bed! It was hard, because I was away from home ( the US), I did have my husband so that definitely made it easier. Things that we did during that time was play card games, started talking about ourselves from as early in life that we could remember, and over a month you really know your partner! It was good. I pray for you and will be thinking of you and I’ll continue to cheer you on along the way. Good luck and god bless you!
Please make an Amazon wishlist so we can send you some things to help keep you occupied while in the hospital, or cozy things to have, and maybe a gift for the baby.
Yes please do an Amazon list!
Yes please!!!
What a great idea!
Yes please!!!
Oh yes please do!
Try to find things from home that smell like home, familiar calming scents tend to help calm your nervous system. Blankets, towels, pillowcases things that you can cycle through. When i was in the navy being able to "smell" home when on deployment saved my life mentally more than once. Sending love and thoughts
I’m here in the hospital until I deliver. I’m at week 31 and hope to make it as long as I can. Not dealing with any bleeding, but liver issues (similar to HELLP syndrome/fatty liver of pregnancy) but I don’t fit into a clear diagnosis.
A few things that are helping me:
1.) bringing things from home (humidifier with essential oils, favorite lotion, blanket, pillow).
2.) working - my job is remote and is allowing me to work from the hospital. This is a huge distraction
3.) get up, shower, get dressed in normal clothes, even put on makeup.
4.) have some kind of structure. I wake up at 6 - coffee and breakfast. Get ready. Work. Walk to grab lunch (I have walking privileges inside the hospital). Nap. Work. Dinner. Watch a show.
4.) go to sleep early - sleeping in a hospital sucks. I try to give myself as much opportunity as possible to get hours in because someone is coming in every 3-4 hours to take blood, do vitals, listen to baby. It takes a bit for me to settle back down every time they come in, so allowing a larger window helps.
5.) have 1-2 visitors a week. Makes a huge difference.
6.) Honestly - reminding myself that this is the best place for me (even though im bored). Going home wouldn’t be safe and would also be stressful bc I would have to come in every other day for testing anyway.
7.) thinking about my baby. This may sound silly, but sometimes I will lay there and rub my belly, talk to her - it feels like she’s in it with me and im not alone.
8.) get a therapist if you don’t already have one - meet twice a week. Many will do virtual sessions
Wishing you the very best! ❤
Those are really great and concrete suggestions.If I was in such situation I wold take them and make through tes days....Really hope that this plan will help to Jessy.❤
Praying for you too! ❤
Ugh. I remember being constantly checked on and monitored. Plus all the lights and beeps. It was like time didn't exist. Just to let you know, I had preemies at 30 and 33 weeks, and they're both full grown adults now. You got this!
Good vibes to you!
You're a force of nature,you're going to be such a wonderful Mother!!! I just know it! Sending a lot of love for you both and the baby!
Bless you all. My pp and suspected accreta baby is 44 years old. Spent all of April and May in hospital. They couldn’t tell about the accreta because the placenta was large and anterior. Also couldn’t get through the placenta to do amniocentesis to test for lung maturity. The wait and strain brought good days and bad days. I had lots of family and friends visit. I crocheted outfits for the new little human I was doing my best to protect. I dressed every day and was allowed short walks to a tv room on the floor. In the end I had my healthy baby girl, a placenta that detached readily so no hysterectomy!! Call me crazy but 10 years later I did it again. I remember telling God that I didn’t want to be in the hospital and how my home was my safe place and refuge. He quickly reminded me that wherever He is , is my refuge and strength ❤
I really appreciate the heads up you give in the beginning, it’s so considerate to let us know everything is ok before the video starts. And so rare on social media.
I'm crying with you. You are loved immensely. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your ups and downs.
17:31 little, small personal touches can keep you grounded and connected to the place you are staying for a short time (though it is long comparing to the normal situations). a small plant, a mug, a plush doll, a cat toy, table clothes, pillowcase anything that reminds you of home. books and games and arts and crafts are your best friends and of course writing or vlogging or talking about your day.
Jessie I am so sorry you had that experience during your MRI. I am a radiography technician and I would never have sent you back to your room in a soiled gown. Prayers for you both, you have been slammed by so many obstacles.hang in there.
You are sooo right
I was thinking the same! I was heart broken that no one at any point stopped and took care of her. New gown, quick bucket with water, take her to a restroom. Sometimes as Healthcare providers (nurse here) we really need to remember that patients need to be treated with dignity.
Praying for you all, imagining the amazing news of a healthy full term baby in your future.
I was horrified at how she was treated. And then allowing her to assist in cleaning the machine besides? Just, HOW! 😭😭😭😭
That is utterly insane. 😞
@living4mylordI totally agree.
What the absolute f**k?! Right! To make her stand there, covered in vomit, and then ask her to help clean it up! What kind of bull Sh*t hospital is that? What if she slipped and fell? Or fainted? Seriously she could have hemorrhaged from “helping clean up.” Unbelievable.
I spent 2 months in hospital with my first pregnancy, so I know how you feel.
Sending prayers for the three of you, Jessi, Alessio, and your sweet little baby boy.
Nurse here: make sure you see the sunshine every day
Yes, vitamin D ☀️
Yes can u go outside everyday? So important!
Its also to prevent things like icu psychosis or whatever it was called
And plants! Flowers, even pictures of greenery, it’s so good for your mental health.
I myself had a high risk pregnancy with my twins , I had placenta previa, and the placenta was right under the twins , so as they grew more pressure was on the placenta, and I had many bleeds and scarey trips to the hospital the check for heart beats etc. At 3 months, I was on complete bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I was so nervous every second, day ,week, and everyone thought they wouldn't make it very long, with doing exactly as I was told and Prayers ,and hope. My water broke at 39 weeks (which is nearly unheard of with twins). I was to 10 cm dilated in 3 hours which is pretty fast. I push for 2 hrs and no success!!! After an ultrasound, Baby A head was stuck in my pelvic bone, so off to emergency C-section, Baby A (6lbs 12oz ) 2 Mins late Baby B (7lbs 6oz) delivered, but they took a long time and it was because my uterus wouldn't contract on its own and the bleeding wouldn't stop, I lost too much blood, and had to have 5 blood transfusions, ... And the recovery was long and hard !!!! But I promise u time will fly by, focus on the amazing Miracles around u. everyday, is an absolute Blessing, No matter the road we travel, Remember Your Strength, Courage, and This WILL BE a TRUE MIRACLE (Lion 🦁) xoxo
Praying for You , This Too Shall Pass 💙😘 Love From Oregon
I’m so sorry! I had to do this 10 years ago with my oldest daughter. My water ruptured at 15 weeks and I was able to hold on until 28 weeks! She’s healthy and a totally typical kiddo. My heart goes out to you!! Take one day at a time, even one hour or one moment! Celebrate each day you stay pregnant. You’ve got this ❤❤❤
Thanks for posting- I was worried 🥹❤️🩹
OMG! How did you manage?
So glad you and your daughter or okay! I’m sure that was terrifying.
OMG! They say onces the water ruptures you need to give birth within 24 hours! What did they do to keep you and your baby safe for that long?
I had twin to twin transfusion syndrome surgery at 18 weeks and water started leaking (and lots of bleeding) at 19 weeks. They tried to talk us into having baby A at 19 weeks with no chance at life and trying to keep B in. I was admitted to the hospital and spent 32 days before my placenta detached and they came via c section at 26 weeks. 2 lbs 11.5 inches and 2 lbs 2 oz 12.75 inches. 96 days in the nicu and twin b came home on oxygen. They’re now 4 and no longer on oxygen, and they’re the picture of health. Hospital is the best place for her in this situation. I love sharing our testimony and hearing others as well! ❤
I had an incompetent cervix, and my water broke at 28 weeks. I made it three more days before giving birth to my 1 lb. 13 oz. baby boy. He remained in NICU for 88 days. It was the hardest, worst, and best time of my life...so many emotions. Our son is now 43 years old. He has some challenges but has brought us so much joy. He is a productive member of society, substitute school teacher, and a delight to all who know him. I am praying for you so very hard. Every day counts.
I prayed the rosary for you guys this morning. I had placenta previa with my second born. Delivered her 32 weeks. She's now 21 years old.
I will pray a rosary or more too just for them. Catholics here will understand the miracles that come from praying the rosary.
@carolyncouch4094🙏⛪️🙌
I will include you and baby 🦁 in my rosaries. If either of you are Catholic, I highly recommend praying the rosary for comfort, peace and rest. Also, for so many miracles. God bless you all.
The Holy Rosary is very powerful and pretty sure Allesio is Catholic and there are Catholics in Jessie's family tree. I'm sorry to hear that IVF was part of their journey but be assured of the Holy Rosary here too!!!
@lindabyrd7025 Holy Rosary here too for their good health and safety. So sorry to hear about IVF--not Pro Life.
I love you guys. You're so authentic, sincere and real. Thanks for your vulnerability and openness and letting us into the difficult moments of your lives. You truly have a "call to share" your lives. I really am encouraged by the comments here too. God bless you and your baby. "The good work that the Lord has started in you, Jessie, He will bring to completion".
As a retired, high risk, labor, and delivery nurse, I would recommend that you set up a schedule with your nurses for the plan of every day so that you know what to expect and you can plan phone calls video chats TV hobbies meals everything around that schedule, especially your monitoring and also ask if you’re allowed to go without 4 o’clock clock in the morning vital signs maybe they could do them at midnight and 6 AM so that you can get some uninterrupted sleep other than of course potty breaks. You might also be able to ask for a core set of nurses. They will get to know you you’ll get to know them and it is more reassuring. I think for Alessio and yourself when you know them also a tour of the Nicu would be great sooner rather than later, and they can show you babies of different gestational ages that are in there to kind of give you a visual of what your baby will look like at those stages. This is definitely going to be a roller coaster ride. Just please try to go day by day. Use the chaplain services if that’s important to you you can also ask for a psych consult. If you’re feeling, especially anxious they could put padding on your bed like an egg crate mattress to help with hip pain if you’re getting sore laying on your Side bring all your stuff from home pregnancy pillows, pajamas, slippers they are going to want to be giving you steroid shots they want to start you on magnesium to decrease the chance of cerebral palsy with the baby although I will say I have been retired for three years and things could have possibly changed. I wish you all the best. My prayers to you and your family and I appreciate the fact that you are sharing this for others to learn, the pregnancy is not always easy.
Bonita, you are the absolute best, with this insight! I hope we continue to have medical pros like you in the future.
Bumping this comment. Wonderful info!
Current L&D nurse and everything you said is still accurate! Great advice!
Excellent comment
I’m in the healthcare field and can say this advice is superb ❤
Hi Jesse. I was in hospital for 3 months with my son ( He's 31 now ). You and Alessio are doing great. Keep talking to each other. Keep listening to each other. I wrote...alot. Physically writing a journal to my son was so helpful. Alessio should as well. Those feelings and day by day struggles and victories will be priceless. Trust me, as life goes on, you will forget certain moments. That journal is a blessing to have ❤
Praying for this lovely family.
Praying SO HARD, Jessie and Alessio, for it not to actually be placental acretta, and that this all turns out to be one big precaution.
Jessie, if you have an established therapist, please keep regular appointments. This is hard stuff and you’ll need to be cared for mentally, dear one. ❤
Also, routine is huge. I think if you get up and get dressed each day, then have a specific timeframe for maybe a scheduled phone call with someone you love to talk to, time for creativity, time for whatever exercise you can do, time to be even wheeled outside, plus mealtimes and then bedtime routines, etc. I just really believe that will make all the difference for you. ♥️
If you’re up for visitors to bring good food and play games or something, I’m sure that would also be so encouraging and a boost to your spirit. ❤
Anyway, long comment, but I’m praying for you! The Lord is right there. Spend time with Him above all. ♥️♥️
Love all of you so much from our home in Texas. ♥️♥️♥️
Alessio you are strong too ! Trust in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, HE is holding you, Jessie, and baby in HIS hands! My heart goes out to you & Jessie, this is hard to hear and accept but know that Gods got this , HE is with you all! Praise God! ❤
Im so sorry you are going through this. I know Alessio’s instinct will be to take care of Jessie, be he needs to also take care of himself as well to remain strong for the days to come. Try to get into as “normal” a routine as you can, even if it means Alessio isn’t there 24/7. That being said, hopefully he can bring you some home cooked meals because hospital food is just not it. Maybe he can pick up your favorite take out for an in room date night? Bring all your comforts from home and most importantly, don’t be afraid to ask from help. Get with the patient care coordinator or social worker. Can they make provisions to allow you more comfort? A mini fridge? Tea kettle? Anything to help you do things (as permitted) for yourself while getting into this temporary new normal.
Have some friends and neighbors set up a schedule to visit, maybe bring some food, board games, etc.
You have both been through so much, you got this for the next few weeks/months and you have lots of people praying for a healthy baby and mom! 🙏🏼
I have been praying SO much for the 3 of you !!!! Jesus cares so very much for you all. I pray that each and every day that beautiful baby boy will continue to grow and develop normally, and for MANY, MANY more weeks yet, I pray ! 🙏🏻✝️🌈 May you know the peace, comfort, healing and strength from God right now... Thank you for blessing us with your beautiful smiles and keeping us all so up to date with everything! LOTS of prayers going up, right now! 🙏🏻✝️🥰🌈💝 xxxx
Jesus loves families❤
@bettypisiakowski2148 doesnt jesus love everyone?
@rebeccaradbourne5651Yes He does
Does Jesus not care about the babies that don’t make it? I’m sorry. I respect faith but find these comments crazy making.
You got this mama!! I have full placenta previa and accreta. Im 31wks today baby boy is in the 80% in growth and were doing well! You got this!! Were planning for a c-hyst at 36 wks so only 5 wks away im so nervous
Retired Labor & Delivery nurse here!! You are ABSOLUTELY in the best place!! God doesn’t give you more than you can handle, so I know you will be fine! Alessio, you are an AMAZING partner!! I am sending up lots of extra prayers your way….baby Lion has the best team possible!!! ❤️
I wish I could send you a copy of the Alchemy Journal by Suleika Jaouad. She has a substack called the isolation journals. She has had leukemia and suffered from recurrences for many years and has had to spend lots of time in the hospital and isolated. She started painting, journaling, etc and she has written and shared about it and it is so inspiring. Look her up if you think it might be helpful. I immediately thought of her when you said you have to stay at the hospital. Keeping you all in my heart and thoughts. 🩵💗🩵
Sounds nice but that’s not true. God will absolutely give you more than you can handle. If we could handle everything that came our way, then we wouldn’t need God’s grace. When life is too much for us, it’s never too much for Him. God allows more than you can handle so you’ll stop relying on yourself and you’ll start leaning on Him.
Oh please stop with that whole god gives you what you can handle. If he does exist he killed our child. He's a disgusting pos for doing that.
No, God doesn’t give you more than He can bear. Phil 4:13, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
I know it’s so hard sitting around doing nothing- I was only bound to the hospital for a month in a half- I recommend coloring books you like, puzzles, how to origami books and paper, knitting/crochet, cross stitch, books (even though I love to read this got a bit boring), have a list of people you can rotate to go throughout the day you can call at different times just to chit chat, take strolls or wheelchair rides around the halls to get out of the room, sit by different windows to get different views- if someone is willing and they allow it, a short push outside for fresh air a couple times a day. You just want a lot of things to keep your hands busy and rotate through them throughout the day so it doesn’t get as boring. Also check with the hospital- we had a volunteer person bring in a therapy dog for the patients to come pet and lift spirits- your hospital might have that as well.
Also have some people you love their cooking and request some favorite dishes alessio can pick up and bring you a couple times a week- nothing beats home cooked food and is just a comfort.
God bless the 3 of you. You have thousands of people praying for you 🙏
Thank you for using your platform to help educate people about the possibilities of complications during pregnancy, despite how difficult it must be for you to process as you go through it, yourself. You are a very courageous and strong person and I'm praying for all of you to be surrounded by love and protection as you prepare for your miracle baby to arrive. ❤
I'm a volunteer cuddler in a level 3 NICU. Babies born at 25-27 weeks and weigh 1.5 pounds or so are more common than you think. NICU nurses are magical and dedicated. If little Leo comes early, know that there are experienced professionals standing by that work miracles and never give up on your baby!
As a former preemie (from the late sixties, no cuddlers yet) thank you for all you do
it's torture for me to see babies in NICU...100% of them are EITHER IVF, babies to moms neglected of real womens healthcare that should involve creighton model hormone testing and supplementing before and during pregnancy. NONE of our babies in this system are premature NO post partem depression in moms, and NO NICU stays
That is SO awesome that you do that though. BEAUTIFUL and I'd TOTALLY do that! I'd do that for the babies AND for elderly alike. We are SO unhinged, under touched today! Did they force you to get the clot shots and other dangerous injections? Then I won't do it.
I was born 3 1/2 months early. 1lb 13oz in '89. // not sure if that happened for me, but thank you for your service.
17:48 I’m sending up so many prayers for your precious family! I wholeheartedly believe in the POWER OF PRAYER! 🙏❤️ God has most certainly got y’all!
I went into premature labor at 25 weeks. At 33 weeks I was hospitalized. I stayed in the hospital for 33 days trying to keep my little guy in. Reading and word searches really helped me pass the time between family visits and seeing my older son on Sundays. I am praying for you all every day.
Sending You both ❤️🕊️🍃Love Hope Prayers, Positive thoughts. I had to stay 100% bed rest with my first daughter for 5 months ✓at home.Due to uncontrollable seizures that would, kick off contractions/premature labor. I had portable potty next to my bed,bcuz short trip to walk to my toilet= started contractions. I believe you're in the best place,best hands....for your baby, yourself and hubby. Do stress free, relaxing activities....count down the days. It's so WORTH it! ❤❤ God Bless You! Take care🕊️🍃Peace
You poor, sweet girl. I just want to hug you. I have never prayed so hard for a couple of strangers in my life.
Same. I’m fully invested in them having a good outcome
I was in the hospital for over two months with a bad infection that went septic. The hospital had a few resources that helped, like art therapy, where once a week someone came into my room and we did a project, there was bingo on a CCTV and when you won someone came to my room with a prize cart. A priest came once a week and was a great help to talk to about everything, I almost died. I also got a Roku for the TV in my room so I could stream al the services like Hulu, Netflix, etc. That was a HUGE help as I got a variety to watch. I also did a lot of crocheting and knitting. I worked on Christmas presents and made 12 scarves for homeless vets. The best medicine was the friends and family that visited.
I wish you both a long journey and will continue to keep you all in my prayers. Lean into your faith right now, God is always beside you. 🙏❤️🙏
God be with us. Give Jesse and Alessio the strength they need. God, thank you for giving me the opportunity to pray for this family I’ve never met and practice Your love. Amen.
Your MRI experience is similar to my anatomy scan i just had. I was laying on my back for the first time in weeks and started to feel soo hot, nauseous, and the room was spinning. I tried so hard to fight it but I was just getting worse. They had to stop and give me a cold towel for my head and finish the ultrasound on my side 😂 I love watching your journey. I am 21 weeks and have HG and POTS. Not nearly what you are going through but watching your videos helps me through my struggles. Praying for you both and your strong baby boy!!
I had a very similar experience leading into pregnancy then complications in pregnancy. I spent much time hospitalized. The best advice was to stick to a routine. I got up in the morning, washed, ate breakfast in a chair, read books and magazines, took a nap, ate lunch, welcomed visitors in the afternoon and evening or spoke on the phone. It was routine, one day at a time to establish normalcy during a time of great uncertainty. I was finally induced at week 37 which led to c-section. I had the shots to develop lungs, etc around week 24. I delivered my baby girl who is now 18 and my one and only miracle.
I’m so sorry you’re going through all this but very glad they seem to be on top of things. Hang in there!
As a previous high risk L&D nurse, I agree with what others have said, bring things from home that make you comfortable, ask for a tour of the NICU and to speak with a neonatologist, ask the nurses to do vitals on your schedule and not the usual schedule, and ask if you can have your sweet kitty come and visit. It will boost your spirits and bring you comfort. Often this can be arranged. I’m holding you all in prayer. 🙏
I thought about Micia visiting too. That would be sure to lift her spirits
Are you actually allowed to tour the NICU? That would have been extremely helpful and reassuring when I was admitted with my twins. I knew there'd be a NICU stay so I searched the hospital website for videos and it turned out they didn't have anything, all that I was allowed, was to speak with a neonatologist. I had a nurse who used to work in the NICU though, and she went into great detail about how the NICU worked, and it was very helpful in a time when everything was so alien and uncertain. I wish I could have had a tour, or even a video tour of the NICU.
@tifanimonet-vk9teI suppose it depends on the hospital, but if you ask most will let you do at least somewhat of a tour.
I continue to pray for your family. I honestly recommend making a schedule for your day so you have some sense of control over it. If you journal, write this down. For each milestone, write your little lion a love letter. Someday he will be grateful for all you have done and gone through to make his life possible. Bless you and you family.
I was in a nursing home for almost three months after a surgery. Noise canceling headphones were such a big help for my sanity with the noise. Short visits from those closest to me. Things from home and ordering online some little things to bring comfort and distraction helped. You are both so brave and we are all really proud of you. May you feel God’s presence and peace and protection.
I never realised how much parents sacrifice for their children before they are even born until I had my own bub. This baby is already so loved and cared for! I wonder what he will think when he's old enough to comprehend your journey to meet him?
As some one whose mother was in a similar situation exactly 43 years ago with partial placenta previa I can tell you how grateful your son will be hearing everything you gone through to bring him into the world. My mother made it to almost full term but she had one last bleed about 2 weeks early that determined we need to deliver or they could loose both me and her. When i heard my birth story i was so proud of what my mother endured for me. You son will too. What my mother went through changed her nursing career and she became a NICU nurse to help those babies who were not as lucky as I was
Hi Jessy, I’m the mother of a 4-year-old boy. I developed complete placenta previa and gestational cholestasis, and I know exactly how you feel. I was in my 40s and it was my only chance to become a mother after IVF. It was very hard to spend weeks on bed rest; I even developed hyperthyroidism. It truly was not a happy pregnancy. But I had an amazing OB who supported me throughout the entire process.
You are in good hands.
It is unlikely that it is placenta accreta.
They just need to be 100% sure there is a blood bank available.
You will experience more bleeding than usual.
Your recovery will be more complicated.
I managed to reach week 37 and was on bed rest from week 25.
You are helping so many people by documenting all the highs and lows you're going through, thank you for sharing with us. But when it becomes too stressful take a break for your mental health 🙏
Can you set up a webcam at your house so Jessi can see the cat all the time? There's one that allows you to talk into the app, and your voice comes through the camera. It might ease some of that separation anxiety. I also suggest that Alessio brings all of Jessi's favorite pillows and blankets to the hospital to make it as comfy as possible. I'm sending the best thoughts to you both!
Excellent idea!!!!❤
If you’re missing your kitty, you can get Arlo security cameras inside your home. When I’m away, and I can Ck on, talk to, and hear my pets via phone, computer, etc. You can also see talk with your hubby while he there.
Blink cameras from Amazon are inexpensive.
I was on bedrest for about four months with my son. I had to take meds for contractions and I had to time contractions when I had them. It was nerve-wracking. I only got out of bed to go to the bathroom, per doctor's orders. I read a ton. I watched TV but tried to balance it with reading. This was in 2001. I also prayed and said rosaries. My son was born and it was a difficult delivery. My son had to be revived when he was born, he had a low apgar score. I prayed Hail Mary and the nurses prayed with me. He came around and was OK except for having Erbs palsy. That went away, thank God. But every second of being in bed was worth it. He is an amazing loving son. I dedicated him to the Blessed Mother. ❤. I'm praying for you guys. xx
Thank y'all for sharing so much. It's beyond helpful to people who are going through similar situations. It's always better to know what to expect or is being done with a test that you've never had or experiences that you never dreamed of. You are so brave to share. Your journey will help people in so many ways. I spent one month in isolation because of Hepatitis . No visitors, no family, no tv or phone at that time. My go to survival was a window I could look out. I made up stories about the two houses I could see outside. A nurse brought me paper and pencil so I wrote out thoughts I had. It help having an escape. I kept it for years and then it was lost when my car was stolen and burned. I think it was just time to let it go. Continued prayers that this will go by quickly for you and family.
I am a retired mother, baby nurse of 24 years. Most important thing for you to do is to remember that this is for your little boy and your safety. Have Alessio bring all the things that you love to do at home knitting reading puzzle, books, favorite foods. Have him bring pictures of Misha so you can see your kitty. Do what you’re told by the staff and just take it easy I know that’s hard for you to hear and hard for you to do when you’re in this position. But God has brought you this far and he will see you through bless you. I will continue to pray for safety for the baby and for you and patience for you and Alessio during this time, you have a lot of people who love you and are pulling for you. Also, do do FaceTime with your family a lot so they can help to ease the loneliness because it will get lonely. You got this and we look forward to future updates.
As a 36 year MRI technologist, I fully understand everything the tech is going through. That was very nice of you to help her, Jessie, although not necessary. MRI’s can be traumatic for anyone, even without an acute issue going on.
PS no harm to baby from the mri scanner❤🙏
I am not sure if that is true "no harm for the baby from the MRI, look up and research the amount of radiation that is coming from an MRI, that is definitely not healthy at all!! I am sure Jessi knows that as well and that is why she was not so happy with that. But please do not say that an MRI is no harm to the baby, Hold an EMF meter next to it and you know that the radiation is very high!
@Rosalie-ct8mi All I'm drawn from is my 36 years as an MRI technologist. You may know more. There is no ionizing radiation involved with an MRI scan.
@Rosalie-ct8miMRI do not use radiation, they use magnets (that’s what the M stands for. I think you might be confusing it with a CAT scan.
I'll be praying for peace for you both, safety/health for baby and momma, and wisdom for all doctors!
Don't have to explain if it is too much in this situation. You look so sad and I would recommend to give each other big hugs daily and yes I will pray for you and your baby lion! 🤗👍
So many hearts and arms surround the three of you. Jessie, you are such an incredible mother and strong woman! Watching you throughout these ups and downs, please know that we share in these emotions. Some of us have had fertility issues, some of us are still struggling, but know all of us appreciate the two of you sharing this journey with us. My prayers for baby lion and his parents as you lovingly watch over your pride.
You have so many people praying for you and your sweet baby boy. Lots of love coming your way…day after day. We’ll be right here with you.❤️
A friend who was on bed rest for months made a daily schedule to inject structure into her day. Even if it was things like 8-9am read, 9-10am watch TV, 10-10:30 doctor visit, 10:30-11:30 knit, 11:30 lunch, 12:15 watch hospital chapel, 1:00 nap, 2:30 visitor, etc. It was a way for her to feel like she had more control over her days, and it wasn’t just vast hours of time stretching into the future. She also really loved getting to know the nurses in her unit and learning their stories.
I’d also advise against going to some chat group for people who’ve had previa accreta, just because they are often filled with folks who’ve encountered worst case scenarios and it can skew reality a bit. My sister had a health crisis with her husband and the hoped-for solidarity from the chat room became a horror story collection…one that hasn’t mirrored their experience.
Covering you both, and your little Lion, in prayers. ❤
That is so beautifully put!
Information is power for you, even if it’s overwhelming. One day at a time. ❤
Jessie you are so freaking strong, you are such an inspiration, you guys have been so much threw this journey and you still show up with a smile in every video, may god continue to look over you guys and the baby come healthy to his loving parents.
See if your doc will write you a prescription for a pet visit. I was able to go to just outside the hospital to visit with my pup for a few minutes. Really therapeutic.
I second this!!
I was thinking this too.
Yes! I hope this is possible, both miccia and Jessi would benefit from it ❤
My friend had vasa previa and was in hospital for 6 weeks before their son arrived. And her wife was able to arrange a pet visit with the hospital and she brought their dogs to the hospital garden. She also moved their baby shower to the hospital garden
What a wonderful idea!
I am so sorry y’all are going through this. Your positive attitudes will serve you well. My path was similar to yours but instead of placenta previa, I had PROM at 29 weeks. They were able to stop labor and I spent the next 6 weeks in the hospital on total bed rest. It was difficult but I knew I was exactly where I needed to be to give our baby his best chance for survival. The nurses become your family. Keep your mind busy. You might read, watch comedies, write a journal, listen to music, jigsaw puzzles, crochet, draw or paint. I was unable to get out of bed so my options were pretty limited. The best news for us was that our son was born at 35 weeks. After a couple of weeks in the NICU we were finally able to bring him home. He is a healthy 21 year old college student today. You two are so strong with positive attitudes and loving hearts. Keeping all three of you in my prayers.
Hey Jessi!! Hang in there hun!! My mom had to stay in the hospital for quite awhile, and what I learned from that experience is to bring your own pillow, bring some hand soap from home that you love (the familiar smell is SO comforting), and you’ll definitely want something to do with your hands like crocheting or knitting, though watch out if you have an IV in since tangling that up is a MESS!! My mom didn’t need one, but I would also think about bringing a comfort item in like a plush animal or a soft pillow! Since regulating your emotions is SO difficult in the hospital (and with what you are going through!) it’s really important to try to find comforting, grounding things you can do. I know this channel is great for documentation of everything that’s going on, but I would also recommend a birth journal for you to not only write everything down medically, but just to be able to give those frightening emotions a place to exist outside of your mind without feeling shame for them.
I believe in you! I’m praying for you and baby! ❤
Oh sweetheart. Y'all have went through so much for this baby boy I have no doubt God will deliver a healthy baby and healthy mama when it's all said she done. Prayers and love y'all's way! ,🫂
I went through a very similar situation 26 years ago. This video brought back so many memories. I was on bed rest for 4 months. Get up and walk around your room frequently. I know exactly how you're feeling. Listen to your Dr and lean on each other. Bring a pillow and favorite blankets from home. Read. Journal to the baby. Keep fighting.
I am a placenta previa baby, and that’s pretty much it. You all 3 will make it!❤
Oh you sweet lady. I'm so incredibly sorry that happened to you. You are both such warriors for this little sweet baby boy. Stay strong. I will pray for you.
I am praying so very hard for all three of you! 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
