I totally understand. You get there and realise you are ONLY 24 weeks! Thats wasnt enough in my mind. BUT hopefully, my story will help you, and I loved hearing about hope.
By first preg ended at 20 weeks, he didnt live.
Second at 34 +5 weeks, after and emergency stitch at 20 weeks for 9mm cervix. 2 months strict bed rest in hospital and 6 weeks modified at home. Obviously the modified rest at home wasnt enough. 34 +5 is awseome, but they still took her to special care, I didn't breastfeed for days, or hold her...
So this time, my goal was to hold the baby, and breastfeed stright away.
I had a scheduled stitch at 15 weeks. Cervix was 3.7cm at 18 weeks! Yah! But at 21 weeks it was 1.7cm and I got the dreaded call from the doctor to go home and go to bed ( I was locked out the house and carrying the 15 month old to the servo to buy and ice cream while we waitied!). Then came 3 months and 17 days of fear, isoltaion, sadness, anger, but knowning it had to be done. Subsequent scans showed the cervix shortened to the stitch (at 1.7cm it turns out) and flattened. I was trying to dilate.
The stitch came out at 37 weeks and bed rest ended. Here I am at 40 weeks + 3 days hopeing he comes soon otherwise the doctor wants to induce on Tues. I'm walking (joy!), having sex (joy!), expressing as he'll need the colustrum (bed rest came with Gestational diabetes too), eating curries. But still, quitely content and happy that we all made it safe and well.
This of course won't happen for everyone, but I definalty rate bed rest as a baby saver. Not so good for Mummies unfortunalty, but babies do make it, and everyday inside for those llittle angels is a day better for everyne.
Good luck, I did a silly amount of craft and a lovely 120! page photo book on line with blurb.com. Passed the time well.
