Please pray for my sister and her baby - Cloth Diapers & Parenting Community

My sister is 29 weeks pregnant with her second child. Her first son was born at 33 weeks. She woke up in labor one morning, completely out of the blue, and her son was born a few hours later. She didn't have any signs of preterm labor at all with him.

With this second pregnancy, they've been monitoring her carefully. She had cramps last weekend so they send her to L&D and she was 1cm dilated (she was completely closed the week prior). They sent her home after 2 days of monitoring. She went for a follow up appointment today, and she is now 2cm and having cramping, so she is being sent back to L&D.

Please pray that her little baby stays in his mama for at least a few more weeks. I can't imagine how hard it would be for her to have another NICU baby, in addition to having a 21 month old child at home.

Thank you

Prayers!! Having a preemie is very scary. My little one was born at 29 weeks and 1 day on 4/24/12 weighing less than 2 pounds. We are very blessed, she is a happy healthy chubby little thing today!
