My last day..

Today is my 6th day and we're going home!!! Finally! I really cant wait to see my son.

Done w/ all my test (urine culture - CBC) and my last steroid shot.
My OBGYN's advise is to continue my complete bed rest at home for one whole mo. Meaning i cant even work at home.

Will go back again on Oct 17 for my ff up check-up.

So happy that i have a very well hearted doctor that really took care of me and my babies (Eon and Baby Pengi) were so shocked when we learned that my OB will not charge me for her Prof Fee!!! I'm a one lucky preggo!!

Thank you for all the love and prayers.
Pls continue praying for me and my baby pengi.

My Steriod Shot

My 5th day here at the hospital...
Woke up at around 6am today my RN had my doppler check and vital signs.

Ate my B.Fast at around 8am then had my Betamethasone Steriod Vaccine Shot at my left arm. What Betamethasone can do to my baby? (pls find my research about my steriod shot)

Steroid Injection for Fetal Lung Development

Injections of corticosteroids for fetal lung development has been praised as one of the best advances in fetal medicine in the 90s. Since 1994 the National Institutes for Health and other professional organizations have encouraged their use in promoting the development of fetal lung development in moms who were at risk for preterm labor or birth.

Betamethasone and dexamethasone are the two most commonly used steroids. The average protocol was to give to intramuscular injections (IM) 24 hours apart. Some practitioners also choose to continually repeat the dosages every week until the birth. The injections had to be given 24-48 hours prior to the birth for maximum effect. They were also best used between weeks 24 and 34 gestation.

The use of the steroids provided benefits for the lung development in the premature infants to reduce the risk of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) as well as to reduce the risk of intracranial hemorrhaging and some other potential benefits.
