I'm having the FFN test on Thursday and I wasn't sure what it was exactly or what happens after that. Thank you for sharing. It oddly put my mind at easy knowing what to expect should the test be positive. I’m currently going through the exact same thing and I have to say that your experience is beautifully written.

I've never heard of the no amniotic fluid thing and transfusions, sounds so scary but it is amazing what they can do these days isn't it? Hope you have an uneventful 3 weeks ahead of you! Karen,

Just happened across your site and saw your post on preterm labor. Looks like we shared a similar experience this weekend of bloody show, monitoring and contractions. I'm at 31 weeks, but since my pregnancy is high risk (my son has a lower urinary tract obstruction and he can't urinate...therefore I have no amniotic fluid unless they put it in)we will be induced at 34 weeks. Only three more weeks of worry!! Hopefully my body cooperates and hangs on. Hope your's does too! Congrats on your pregnancy! Hi! Just happened across your site and saw your post on preterm labor.

I think we're out of the woods now, but even if things take a turn for the worst, at least he's had his steroids. Stephanie, how scary for you, and after all you went through with your older daughter.. I guess you did a great job on bed rest keeping baby #2 in there PAST term!!

Preterm labor is really scary and bed rest is soooooo boring and uncomfortable, but it's so worth it if it works. For what it's worth, I had a very similar experience last May at 30 weeks and spent about seven weeks on bed rest - I thought I would lose my mind. Both out of boredom and because my older daughter was a preemie who spent weeks in the hospital and since I did nothing but contract for a month and a half, I was convinced baby number 2 was looking at a long hospital stay as well.) But I stayed off my feet and we ended up having a healthy, full-term baby. (Actually she ended up being 12 days late - so you just never know.) Just take it easy and let Jasper's daddy do the painting. :-) Hang in there Ariana. Preterm labor is really scary and bed rest is soooooo boring and uncomfortable, but it’s so worth it if it works.

I'm glad your both ok but what an ordeal! You are in my thoughts and I hope you don't get too stir crazy trying to take it easy. Please let me know if you need anything. If it makes you feel any better my sister works in the NICU and said that although 30 weeks is not 40 he should do great should he decide he needs to be here right now. Hugs to you! How scary!
