This morning I had really severe contractions, so [name]Morgan[/name] drove me to the hospital. I was put on an IV to stop the labor and I’m hoping they will not have to perform an emergency c-section as I am only 32 weeks. My doctor warned me that this could happen, as my first daughter was born at 34.5 weeks due to the size/shape of my uterus. If she is born today or in the next few days she could have severe life-long problems (deaf, partial blindness, retardation, etc) so just pray for her to stay for a few more weeks. If she is born today or in the next few days [name]Morgan[/name] and I decided we will name her either [name]Mary[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Jane[/name] , [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Rose[/name], or [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. I am happy that I will get to see her soon, but at the same time I would like her to stay inside me a little longer so she can develop more.
Thank you,
[name]Ivy[/name], [name]Evie[/name] [name]Anne[/name], and baby [name]Aurelia[/name]
by the way, any feedback on which “[name]Aurelia[/name]” name we should use would be great!
That’s so sad. Wish you the best! I like [name]Mary[/name] with [name]Eva[/name]. Though I am not a fan of [name]Mary[/name], it sounds really nice in this case. [name]Just[/name] wondering, but who is [name]Morgan[/name] to you?
I hope everything goes well, stay strong!!
I like [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Rose[/name] the best, so so beautiful!
Best of luck x
I’m very sorry to hear that. They will hydrate, hydrate, hydrate you (so drink as much as you can to help) and give tocolytics. Have your contractions calmed down? Did you actually make cervical change? Steroids yet for [name]Aurelia[/name]'s lungs?
All your choices are lovely, but [name]Mary[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] doesn’t work (the -y in [name]Mary[/name] runs into the -A in [name]Aurelia[/name]). I like [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Rose[/name] best of all, but [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] [name]Rose[/name] is a classic, dignified name too.
Thank you. [name]Morgan[/name] is my best friend/roommate. I moved in with her three years ago when we were both pregnant at 15. Now we both have two year old daughters, [name]Eva[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Anne[/name] ([name]Eva[/name]/[name]Evie[/name] [name]Anne[/name]) and [name]Sophie[/name]. I do love [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Rose[/name], jessicalucy. As my condition is not improving, and unless it miraculously improves tomorrow, I will be scheduled for a c-section either tomorrow morning or a possibility of an emergency c-section later tonight. After she is born I will announce it to the berries and tell you her final name.
Thank you for your support
[name]Ivy[/name], [name]Eva[/name], and [name]Aurelia[/name]
Sorry, blade, I didn’t see your post. Yes, they are practically dumping water in me. My contractions are still running strong, but they haven’t gotten any worse. They are giving me steroids to try to get her lungs as good as they can get as she will probably be born very soon. My doctor estimates that I will have an emergency c-section tonight/tomorrow morning/tomorrow night. I won’t tell you what name we’re using, but I will say that I agree with what you said.
Thanks
[name]Ivy[/name] and baby [name]Aurelia[/name]
Mommy to [name]Eva[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Anne[/name] (2) and [name]Baby[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] to come tonight or tomorrow
Unless [name]Aurelia[/name] is in distress, it would be very unusual to electively C-section someone at 32 weeks. “Emergency c-section” means that either you or the baby are in imminent danger of lasting harm or death, and they obviously aren’t planned (i.e. you don’t tell someone “you’ll have an emergency c-section tomorrow night.”) [name]Do[/name] you have some uterine abnormality? I am just trying to understand why you aren’t riding out the Preterm Labor-- even if you’re making cervical change and contracting regularly, and it appears delivery is imminent, why a c-section?
I have a condition in which I cannot physically carry a baby to full term, although I can carry a baby for up to about 8 months. I had a c-section with my first daughter. I had to have an emergency c-section and I may have to again, as my condition affects the blood going to the baby and her heart rate can suddenly drop and cause complications. It is also due to the shape/position of my uterus, as it makes it very difficult for a baby to pass through the birth canal. A c-section wouldn’t be my first choice but it is the only way to deliver my daughter safely… I hope this makes sense.
[name]Ivy[/name]
And no, the emergency c-section isn’t planned, but it’s something he said as “There is a chance you will end up having to have an emergency c-section tonight if [name]Aurelia[/name]'s heart rate drops to an alarming level”
Prayers and good thoughts coming your way, [name]Ivy[/name]! I love [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. I hope all works out well, God Bless.
I’m sorry to hear things are going like this. I was hoping your previous premature arrival was age-related, but it sounds like this is something you’ll have to contend with every time. I’m only about a week behind you, and I know how scared I’d be to go into labor at this point. It sounds like you’re a strong and resilient young woman, so I think you’ll be able to handle whatever life throws at you, but of course I’m hoping for the best for you and your baby.
I hope you and your baby are doing well. I wish you the best luck and hope you can have a safe delivery. I really like the name [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Rose[/name] out of your combos.
So you had to deliver your first daughter via c-section? That’s interesting, because in this thread here: Nameberry - Welcome to the Nameberry Forums , you said that you had a vaginal birth. So which is it?
Also, in this thread ( Nameberry - Welcome to the Nameberry Forums ), you say that your ex-boyfriend was with you from your first daughter’s birth until you announced your second pregnancy but in this thread ( Nameberry - Welcome to the Nameberry Forums ) you say that your ex-boyfriend broke up with you upon finding out about your first pregnancy and then you two had a one night stand eight months ago, resulting in your second pregnancy. So again, which is it?
I don’t know what’s more annoying, the fact that you’re making up a fake story or the fact that you’ve put so little effort into being consistent with that story.
[name]Ivy[/name], I’m so sorry you are having to go through this. My son was born at 26 weeks via emergency c-section and I understand all the thoughts that must be running through your head right now. I was on bed rest in the hospital for two weeks with nothing to do but scare myself with possibilities, and I managed to do a pretty good job. In the worst-case scenario where a c-section is fast-approaching:
Try and breathe…everything happens so quickly and there are moments where you feel soooo out of control. You have to allow yourself to let go at some point and let them do they’re jobs, I know it sounds obvious, but for me, my IV failed and I couldn’t seem to get anyone to tell me what was going on. I was flipping out, and it didn’t help the situation at all. Concentrate on thoughts of your baby and your little girl at home, all that matters is the health of your family.
Since [name]Evie[/name] was premature as well, albeit not as much, I expect you have some familiarity with the NICU. Among other possible complications, [name]Aurelia[/name] may be given oxygen, likely through a nose canula, but possibly through throat intubation. It can be scary to see your baby with tubes and monitors attached to them…she’s okay. Ask questions about everything you don’t understand, be prepared to ask A LOT. Take advantage of any programs your hospital may have to help women in your situation (the social worker should come see you). Ours had scholarships for families to help pay for food, transportation to the hospital, etc.
I hope that I haven’t frightened you, that certainly wasn’t my intention. There is just such a whirlwind of things happening around you in the first few days of having a preemie, I wish I had been prepared for it. Please, please, please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I hope [name]Aurelia[/name] decides to stay in there a little longer, and I’m so glad you have your friend there for you through this. Good luck! Your family is in my thoughts.
[name]Emily[/name]
P.S. I like [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
15yos aren’t given apartments when they’re “on welfare,” unless they’re emancipated minors (which a girl previously residing with her parents obviously is not). She couldn’t even sign a lease; instead a pregnant 16-yo would be placed in the foster care system if truly shunned by family. Pregnant girls aren’t allowed to be discriminated against as pregnancy is a protected class; if a school attempted to expel her she could bring legal action and win a lot in damages. People don’t only have sex one time. An epidural is not a foot-long needle and it doesn’t sit in your back.
There are no uterine abnormalities that would affect a third trimester pregnancy. Morphological abnormalities such as a retroverted uterus which fails to correct itself as pregnancy progresses could, in fact, be lifethreatening to mother and fetus, but not at 32 weeks. Bicornate uteri, septated uteri, etc result in much earlier pregnancy losses, not preterm labor. Disorders of placentation-- either premature calcification and insufficiency, or a placenta previa-- could result in elective csection due to the inability of the fetus to exit the uterus, but would not cause preterm labor.
Most importantly, savvy teen moms don’t give their real first and last names, and the full names of their children, on an internet forum. No one born after 1960 does that. And if faced with a profoundly frightening, potentially lifethreatening medical situation such an emergency csection and a premature infant, they don’t spend time worrying about baby names nor perusing internet forums, not even as a distractor.
