I have a 10 month old daughter. I’m currently 33 weeks and 6 days pregnant with twin boys. I’ve been admitted to the hospital’s antepartum unit due to preterm labour and risk of umbilical cord prolapse with the presenting twin in breech position since 32 weeks and 6 days. Unfortunately, due to hospital policy, my daughter cannot stay with me. We’ve asked for an exception multiple times, we even requested a c-section on compassionate grounds, but we’ve been declined any sort of interference before 37 weeks. My daughter is very attached to her mama (of course!) and while her father does an amazing job at caring for her, the fact that she is not at home, is very causing her to regress. She refuses to sleep when I’m not around, she’s declining food. She’s gone from 4-6 8oz per day in additional to solids, to maybe 3-4 8oz bottles per day, and declining solids altogether. She’s weepy as soon as she leaves the hospital, and stays that way until she comes back. When she gets to the hospital, she refuses to look at me or acknowledge me for a while. When her Dad starts packing up so they can leave, she starts acting out so that she can stay with me. I know they say kids can adapt, but as a mom, it’s very difficult to see.. We can’t really leaving my daughter with family, because if she’s not doing well in our home with her Dad, she’s unlikely to do any better in someone else’s home, without her Dad. In addition to all of this, I’m unfortunately stuck in the hospital until I go into spontaneous labour, which is unlikely to be any time soon, as labour is not progressing—and I’m being told the likelihood that I’ll be rushed into an emergency c-section is significant. The possibility that my partner will not be in the hospital because he’s home caring for our daughter, and I will be completely alone for an emergency surgery is pretty high. I’ve lost over 10lbs since having been admitted a week ago due to stress, and I have daily panic attacks. I’m at a point where I’m looking at declining medical advice and hoping home, however, getting into our apartment is 5 flights of stairs, no elevator, which has a pretty decent risk of progressing the labour rapidly and breaking my water. Our apartment is also a 25 minute drive away from the hospital, without traffic. I’m looking to raise funds to help cover a hotel stay closer to the hospital, between now and 37 weeks, which is when the hospital would be willing to perform an elective c-section. I’d be booking one that has an elevator, to avoid unnecessary stairs, less than 2km travel distance (in case of emergency), and the most important thing—I’d be able to stay with my daughter and partner until our babies arrive.
