I just talked with my BIL and they had a rough night. She had bad contractions and they had to increase her magnesium. The contractions stopped and they put in a cath because the doctor thinks her getting up to go to the bathroom is what caused the contractions. She's now on total bed rest until the baby comes.
She did get her second steroid shot this morning, which was their short term goal. They've also given her morphine to help her rest.
I hope she can sleep the day (maybe the weekend) away and stay pregnant a lot longer. She's being really hard on herself and keeps asking why this happened and what she did wrong. I'm on my way to see her now.
I'm sorry that she had a rough night. I hope your visit can make her feel a little better.
This is not her fault. I know (from personal experience) no matter what anyone says, she will still wonder if it was something she did or didn't do, but it is not her fault.
It awesome that she got two doses of steroids. It will really help if she does end up delivering early.
