Please pray for Mike, Laura and Brayden. Laura (Brian’s SISTER) was just admitted to the hospital (already 3 cm dilated) and contractions too. She’s not due until August 10th. She may be in the hospital for a week or so. They are hoping to slow things down and also give medicine to help develop the Baby Brayden’s lungs.
Okay here is the latest update from Laura as of 8:15 tonight. She just saw the Dr. and is at 2 1/2 cm dilated now and 80% effaced and I guess Brayden is “very far down” that is a direct quote from Laura. The medicine they are giving her should be most effective in the next 48 hours so if he doesn’t come within that time he probably won’t come any time in the immediate future but they aren’t expecting her to carry him full term. She has to be laying flat right now and can’t be elevated at all….they don’t want to give Brayden any reason to drop more I guess. She has bathroom “privileges” but having to wheel all her monitors and IV’s in with her hardly makes it a privilege. 😉 She is having contractions prob every 15 mins about 30-45 seconds long but still doesn’t have any pain….it just feels tight.
Thank you for praying!
thanks guys for putting this up! Brayden’s already into his 8th month (barely) so I’m sure he and Laura, and MIKE will be okay! Everyone pray!
Prayers for them!
We’re praying for sure!
I’ve alwasy been confused by how pregnancy is calculated…some people at this point would say they are just over 7 months along and consider themselves fully pregnant at 9 months, but then there is like you said mom that she is into her 8th month of pregnancy and will be 10 months pregnant by the due date.
I don’t know if this is just a preference or if one is right??? 😛
