💙 26 Weeks Pregnant – An Unexpected Turn 💙
We received news this week that has completely shifted our journey. As of now, I’ve been admitted to Maine Medical Center and will be staying here until our baby boy arrives — which could be 10+ weeks from now. The hospital is officially our new home.
As many of you know, we’ve walked a long, emotional road to get here — 6 ½ years of infertility, one failed IVF transfer, and finally the joy of conceiving our little miracle on our second IVF attempt.
Unfortunately, our pregnancy has been complicated with several high-risk conditions: vasa previa, bilobed placenta, low-lying placenta, and velamentous cord insertion. Baby boy is doing amazing right now ❤️ but it’s absolutely critical that I don’t go into labor naturally. Any bleeding could put both of us in serious danger.
Here’s a quick timeline of the past few weeks:
🩸 9/16/25 – Rushed to the ER with bleeding due to a placenta abruption. I was transferred and admitted to Maine Med and released on 9/22.
🩸 9/25/25 – Returned to labor & delivery with cramping and spotting. Unfortunately, my concerns were dismissed, and I was sent home.
🩸 9/27/25 (2:30 AM) – I woke up to another bleed and was rushed back to the ER. I’ve since been readmitted and will remain in the hospital until our baby is safely delivered.
I am now officially out of work, and Austin is trying to balance his job while also being here with me as much as possible. This means a lot of traveling and juggling on his part, but we’re doing our best to stay strong and hopeful.
