Prayer for my friend, MW

For the praying types...please keep my friend MW in your prayers. She's 31 weeks along, and early Wednesday morning she started having contractions 6 minutes apart. They started at 2:30, but she waited until 4:00 to call Dr. K because she thought they were just Bra.xto.n Hi.ck.s until she realized they were very consistent and were lasting longer than usual. So they packed up little B and they went in. Dr. K hooked her up to the monitors and took a swab (???) to check for signs of dilation. He told her they were definitely real contractions, but she showed no signs of dilation, though he said he couldn't 100% reassure her because you start dilating from the inside. He gave her some meds and 3 shots and then sent her home. Her little boy, B, tried to come really early, and she was in the hospital for a few days to stop the contractions. He ended up coming about 3 weeks early, but that beats almost 2 months earlier than planned. She knew she wouldn't carry this one to term especially since she has GD, but they really want to get her to 36 weeks.

To add to this, she has GD. She was just devastated when she got the diagnosis, but she got right on it and started eating healthy. Her blood sugars were doing well, so she thought. Today Dr. K told her that her blood sugars were still fluctuating too much so he might have to put her on meds to get them to level out. She's only gained 6 lbs, so he knew she was doing the right things dietary wise, but it's just not helping. He said her weight was a little on the low side so if she hasn't gained some weight by her next visit next week then she has to go on the meds to help her blood sugar levels while she eats like a normal person. Of course she took that really hard and is blaming herself. Dr. K reassured her that it wasn't anything she could control at this point.

Please keep her in your prayers. Baby C needs to keep cooking, and MW needs to quit beating herself up about the GD!! Thanks y'all!!!
