- Hey guys here is a superrrr casual update after spending a few days in the hospital for preterm labor. I was 31 weeks and 4 days when this began, but I am 32 weeks and 3 days now. When it comes to pregnancy and premature babies I am learning that everyday of development counts.
Thank you for watching and I hope you have a great week!

I absolutely love that you published an "imperfect" video with unfolded clothes in the background. Sometimes I feel like I have to have everything perfect at home if anyone else is going to see it, and this video was soothingly down to earth and real. Thank you.
Hey Jess! You and I have spoken on instagram before, about my premature son! I gave birth earlier this year at 26+3. I just want to tell you that if you do end up giving birth to an early bird, I want you to know that you are going to be okay. It may feel like you're falling to pieces and that things are scary, but you are going to be okay. Your sweet little babe is going to be okay. She has two wonderful, loving parents and two wonderful, loving siblings and countless followers rooting for and praying for her. I really hope she doesn't pop out early, but if she does, the Lord is going to take care of you, her, and the rest of your family. Everything you go through is a testimony! You've got this, Mama!!! Rest up and if you need a CZcams break, go for it!
Thank you so much! You are so sweet and I really appreciate this!! You are a hero for going through this with such a little premie babe! I am so glad you guys are okay and appreciate your encouragement!!
@@jess_hover Aww thank you! And it goes without saying if you do end up meeting her early and need some support from another NICU mama, my DM is always open! @butterybuffalobutt
I'm so glad I found this channel! I just found out I'm pregnant with my second child. It's so amazing how open and encouraging Jess is, definitely her spiritual gifts!
omg thank god you're ok. I appreciate all the advice and updates you give on your channel. I'm currently 31 weeks pregnant and its my first baby. Having a boy, but you're such an inspiration for me and I wish you guys well.
This made me feel so much better today. I am 31 weeks and yesterday I went to the hospital for contractions. Thankfully after an IV and overnight observation the contractions stopped and I could go home, but watching your videos made me feel much more prepared and know to go in to get checked!!
I don’t know a lot of things, but I do know that you don’t need technical instructions to sit and relax. I’m proud of you for doing what’s right for you and taking care of yourself! You’ll get done what you need to get done and little lady will come in her own time. Big love 💕💕
Sending you all the positive vibes mama! Thank you for sharing your full story. You don't leave anything out and I love it.
You are a warrior!! So glad you and the baby are in good health. Thank you for sharing your story, have been following you since the beginning of my pregnancy... now I’m in week 28 my first baby ❤️ love u so much!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I am a physician and knew what the effects of Mg were but still when I had to be on them for over 24 hours it took me by surprise how awful I felt! The heat is so oppressive too and there is nothing you can do. It is great for other mothers to describe their experience because medical professionals know the side effects but not sharing them or understanding even how they are experienced makes it much harder on women during such a vulnerable time.
So so sorry people have been giving you a hard time on top of all this! You’re doing great, Jess. Praying do your body to treat you well, and for a healthy baby.
Love you, Jess! Your videos are always so joyful and uplifting, and I’m praying for you and your beautiful baby girl and the rest of your pregnancy 💕 (+ your family and growing business)
Wow! I hope your daughter sees this video someday and appreciates you so much as her mom ❤️
Really admire your attitude, and can relate to struggling with assertiveness. Hold onto your strength, you have an awful lot of it :) xxx
You are SO keeping your composure hun! Praying for you and little baby girl. I would be FREAKING out 💖💖💖
My thoughts and prayers are with you for a safe and healthy pregnancy and hope your unborn baby girl is healthy and growing and God bless you all and stay safe and healthy. Love 💘, guys so much ❤
There is no such thing as TMI in pregnancy🤰 glad baby is still in there growing big and strong ☺️
Prayers for you and your little one! You are so strong ❤️
Thanks for your candid level of detail! Glad you're both okay ❤️❤️
Wow, Jess! Praying for you and baby!
Wow! So hectic and crazy! Love that you were able to siphon some water from the washcloth!
Im so glad you and little baby girl are okay!
Praying for you and bby Hover !!!! 🧡🧡🧡
Praying for you and babe! I cringed when you said you were thirsty when you went on Mag, I had a similar experience. My daughter came a month early because of a combo of HG and preeclampsia. It’s going to be okay! You are strong mama!
Jess! Thank you for being real. I’m sorry you got hospitalized with preterm labor that’s so not fun. My sister had her boys at 28 and 31 weeks so she has many stories like this and is way too familiar with mag. I had a 60hr labor myself and ended up with magnesium for like 30hrs during/after labor for preeclampsia which was sooo scary and they put me on a water restriction bc my sodium was low! I then got readmitted 48hrs after delivering with postpartum preeclampsia and I remember being in the ER and them telling me they were rebolusing me with magnesium and readmitting me on it for another 2 days. It is a horrrrrible drug! The first time I just felt super hot at first and then loopy. The second time def felt like I had the flu!
Also- I am an ICU RN and that nurse who told you no water is so mean! I would have at least let you sucked on a couple ice chips or some wet mouth sponges! The one who gave you the second steroid shot sounds sooo awesome.
Keep the videos coming. I’m praying for baby girl to cook to full term!
Jess: "If you're dehydrated, that can cause labor or contractions"
Me, at 16 weeks pregnant: chugging water
:D
Praying for you Jess! ❤️ and your precious girl!
Thank you!!
Be strong 💛💛💛 prayers for you and your little girl 💛💛💛
You are such a great story teller! Love your personality!❤️
You’ve got this! Gave birth to my babe at 34 weeks after having membrane rupture at 32 weeks. Left the hospital after 6 days and he’s incredibly healthy with no issues. Everything is going to be ok either way! 💕
I hope you're taking it easy and little miss stays put. I'm 35 weeks and I've been having contractions and the baby has dropped. Since I'm AMA I will be induced in week 39, and I hope my little one also stays put until then. I still have a lot to prep, and my mat leave starts next week.
I just started watching your videos. So helpful thank you! I think you are so sweet, and I really enjoy your content. I am due with my first lil guy Dec 25, and I’m kinda freaking out. So thank you for your very informative videos 💜💜💜💜
I’m up at 5:30 in the morning, 31 weeks and 4 days pregnant, having back pain (feels like a pulse), vaginal pressure, and home alone with my 7 year old. My husband works nights, but he’s on the way home now. I’m worried about going into preterm labor. I found your video (because who doesn’t get on google and CZcams before calling the hospital?? 😅) & let me tell you!! Your personality and the things you said, the way you explained, we’re hilarious to me! I’m not at ease about my situation, still nervous, but your video definitely made me giggle 😂
Wish you the best jess!
All the best to you. Making babies isn't for sissies, i can see that. Sending love and healthy vibes to you and baby.
Glad you and the baby are well ❤️
Good luck Jess!
Oh my goodness. The magnesium drip sounds a little bit like how it felt when I went through chemo. I can't even imagine dealing with that while pregnant. I would have been sucking those wash cloths too! 🤯🤯
I graduate nursing school this December too how exciting . I want to be a labor and delivery nurse!
Many prayers your way!!
So scary :( I’m glad you are doing well so far! Thank you for sharing!! I’m 35 weeks today !! It’s a girl and my First baby. I’m super nervous! It’s been difficult dealing with COVID-19 and being pregnant in this time. I hope all goes well ☺️ we are in home stretch almost there ! 😃
Aw congratulations! I'm sorry that it is such a crazy year for you to have your first baby but I hope the arrival of your little girl redeems this year for you :) She will be so special! I am so excited for you!
Magnesium gave me a terrible headache the entire time I was getting it!! My husband tied ice packs to my head hahah it was the only thing that soothed it.
Thank you for this, never heard about any of this before.
Thank you for great advice and being so brave! I am currently 22 weeks and doctors told me that i have short cervix. There is a real chance that i might deliver early and it scares me. Your advice was very helpful 🙂
Thinking of you and your lovely family at this time. I feel for you, with Covid19 meaning having to be in the hospital alone and go through all that. I will pray for you, please look after yourself and hopefully little one doesn't make an appearance just yet!
Glad baby (and you!) are ok
Both of my first baby’s I lost my mucous plug within 12 hours of going into labor, I’m 31+4 weeks right now with my 3rd 😊
Praying for you and baby. 💕
I like the name Lily
Or Felicity with nickname Lissie
Go for it, Jess! So excited for you!
I had Threatened preterm labour back in May at almost 32 weeks. After having increased pain (not like period pain at all) over about a week I got assessed by my midwife at the hospital, neither of us thought it would be pre term labour! I had even driven myself to the hospital 😅
The name Georgie {/Georgina} keeps popping into my head whenever i think of your newest little one.
They had me on Manesium Sulfate when I was in labor and for I think a day or two after 😭 Magnesium is the devil, I 10000% feel your pain. I felt and looked like death. It made the walls look like liquid during the first big dose 😭 Also, I was on water restriction the whole time, they would measure small amounts that I could have, and then after my water restriction was over no one told me for a whole extra day!!!
I’m 29 weeks on Monday and on progesterone and indomethacin but not because I’ve gone into preterm labor but because I have a short cervix they scared me and gave me the steroid shots 4 weeks ago but so far so good thank god! I’m scared of this happening to me!! Glad everything worked out for you! I’m right behind you in weeks and look forward to following your journey 😍
Yes my third pregnancy I literally felt I was sin active labor (August summer temps!) I was very dehydrated so much pain I swore I was laboring. I never thought not drinking enough water would bring on early labor. I was monitored several days. Until the pain stopped. I was able to deliver right at 40 weeks.
Watching this and it brought back so many memories!! I went into pre term labour earlier this year with my little one at 29 weeks, went in for cramping feelings and ended up having contractions and they swabbed me to check for pre term labour- This was positive. I wasn't dilated at all my cervix was completely closed . They gave me steroid injections (oh my god...so painful, in my bum given too!) on the magnesium IV etc like you. She was breech prior to this and actually turned head down and was in cephalic position ready to go...... long story short they managed to stop everything and I went home after a weeks stay at the hospital, and I actually gave birth at 38 weeks :-) They didn't think she would hold out that long and they warned me she could try and come again at any point, I actually stopped working then went on to maternity leave. But holy crap the steroids killed. and then magnesium drip was insane!!!! Heart palpitations so severe. Good going hun.....stay strong!
Yep this is what's happening to me now at the hospital sent me home after words and told me to take it easy and to come back if anything changes
Ohhhh girl that mag drip is horrible! I had it with postpartum preeclampsia (3 days after delivery) and the first thing I asked was “is it supposed to burn like this?” I also peed the urgent care table when they inserted the catheter...Fun times. Hope that everything goes well for you!
Thinking of you!!
Its crazy how she has 100k and still doesn't run ads girl get that coin!!!!!
I had my baby in august via induction because of high blood pressure and eventually c section. I was on magnesium for three days and I completely understand your pain. It’s a great medication but good gracious it sure does make you feel like hot garbage.
Praying for you and baby
I wish you the best ❤
I lost my mucous plug multiple times in the weeks leading up to my son's birth. It's usually the bloody show which is more a sign of impending labour as it's a sign of cervical change. The mucous plug can keep regenerating over and over again.
Wow.. thanks for sharing. #prayersforyouandbaby
Whats crazy is im 33 weeks tomorrow and I had the SAME pain in the SAME spot this morning and I couldn't stand up all the way and was having constant lightening crotch pain.....scared me a bit idk if I should let my dr know or not. Its kinda better now but I've been feeling like I'm having braxton hicks more a lot more during the day now
Can stress trigger pre-term labor? I know you’re a mama of 2 and just started a new business 💕 please take care of yourself Jess. Praying for you and little lady!
I don't know if stress can cause preterm labor, but I'm 17 weeks pregnant right now and sometimes if I'm super late for work and speeding in my car, when I get to work I have cramps! 😩 It's so annoying. Lol
@@missloretta yes it absolutely can, please go get checked
Omg the magnesium!!! Yess!!
I was on fluid restriction for days, only allowed 10mls per hour so they'd neasure my water with a syringe and pour into a cup. One poor midwife i gave such a hard time everytime she'd gave me my water ration. "I'd hate to be a guest at your house if that's all you offer your guests" 🤣 i think she took my humour well.
And then crying when they'd tell me i was nil by mouth yet again ... what a cruel think to deny a women whose 32 weeks pregnant any food or minimal water 😭😭
All for the best, for my baby is doing well now
Ah that's so scary! You're doing great. and have the best attitude! My baby girl's name is Eloise too -- she's 4 months-- and so I love thinking about names that match with it. What about an A name? Then your 3 would spell AWE backwards. Amelia? Alwyn? Audrey?
I have a couple name suggestions for your new baby girl, Adora or Aurora
Literally keep having contractions at 31 weeks and 4 days.
They are constant and do not let up with rest or water.
I’ve been having them since week 27. They told me I have “uterine irritability” but sometimes I think something is wrong because sometimes it really feels like full on labor. It becomes so painful I can’t talk. I can’t move. I just hunch over in pain. They always give me fluids and then send me home. But it really KEEPS HAPPENING. Nobody has checked my cervix at all so I’m so scared about this because these contractions won’t freaking stop man. In my back. In my tummy. And I’ve even thrown up because the pain :(
Short and sweet 16min video 🤣🥰
Sucking the water out of the wash cloth had me dying 😂
I love how transparent you are & that it’s not a “perfectly aesthetic video setup” much more relatable, thank you!
It’s your right to have water (or eat) if you choose too! They are being cautious, but the risks are so low (like so so low) of aspiration and it’s a human right to insist that you receive water. Its too bad when hospitals don’t tell you the risks and let you choose.
I wish you and baby best!! ❤❤ But I have a stupid question for the mom community. When you guys say "I went to the hospital" is this your OBGYN office or the ER? Or the maternity ward hospital where you're planning to give birth? I'm a FTM at 23 weeks and would like to know just in case.
The maternity ward at the hospital where you plan to have the baby. For emergencies you go straight to the hospital but usually you’ll call your office first and they’ll direct you either to the office first or the hospital.
Anna Noronha thank you so much! That makes sense 😊
Love you 💕
Baby name ideas for your daughter 👶 : Joy, Sunny, Skyy, Emma, Layla
OMG THIS! I was put on Magnesium during labor and I also felt like I was on fire! You mentally prepare for labor, but laboring while on Magnesium is on another level. It was NOT enjoyable.
as someone who had the magnesium and steroid shots. YOU are not exaggerating!!! those steroid shots hurt like heck.
Name suggestion. Emelia
Muslim here, also gonna pray for you Jess! :)
Thank you so much!!
❤️❤️❤️
I’m 32 and 1 day and in the labor and delivery floor. I had my steroid shots about two weeks ago and ended up coming bc I was having contractions. But same as you I thought it was really bad gas but my mom told me to come in. So she took me. I came in at around 1:30 am and it’s now 5 am. I just had the arm shot that’s supposed to slow down the contractions and an iv.
This story is so funny at times especially when you said you were drinking the water from the cloth 😂
Let’s hope baby stays in longer bc I will be so sad if she had to be in NICU
Try not to touch the belly as it can stimulate the uterus! Stay safe :)
I was thinking exactly the same and I was surprised that almost nobody in the comments brought this up
What long arms
That's so insane that being dehydrated can give you contractions and they wouldn't bring you water! 🙄 I'm pregnant right now and if I'm thirsty, it's already too late and I will probably feel crampy soon.
I'm so sorry you had to go through all this!!!!
Magnesium is the WORST! I had pre-eclampsia with my first and had to be on a 24-hr mag drip. I truly don't even remember the first 24 hours of her life. 0 stars. Do not recommend.
when you are 39 or 40 weeks pregnnant will you post a birth vlog
Every time the doctor gave me supplement of magnesium I trow it up. Right away so. I hope. I really don't need an iv. Of it 😂 my body really don't like it
Oh but didn't you say you weren't exactly sure when you conceived (excuse me if I misunderstood). I suppose there is still a chance that they dated you a little wrong. Just trying to look at it in a positive way.
Yes exactly! So that's why it is good she measured slightly bigger than they expected because maybe she is actually due a few days earlier than they said. :)
Why 90% or nurses never tell you what you will go through or side effects of whatever meds they put in you or what you will experience!😅 please if you are a nurse and read this spread awareness and tell your nurse friends too. We need that! It would be better for us if we have problems that we would want to avoid like the story in the video 🥴
I don’t understand why they use drugs to stop labor if due dates are just estimates 🤦♀️
How about ALINE for a name? ;)
I really wanted to name my son Lilou if he was a girl or Amelie or Ivy
First!
haha yes!
You should name her Alara
