I’m 25w5d and my water broke last night or this morning at 2:30am, I should say. Baby’s and my vitals are all good, no sign of labor but now I’ve been admitted until I’m at least 34 weeks so that they can do everything to prolong this pregnancy. I have a husband and a 6 year old at home. I’ve never been away from my son, beside work and school. How am I going to handle this. Hubby is an amazing active father so, besides food and sleep, I’m not too concerned. But there is that “what if” since they have never had to live without me, let alone for the next 2-3 months…… my son and I “suffer” (I hate that word but that’s what they call it) from emotional codependency so idk how he will do, it’s already enough that we’re having a baby and he has been on the journey with us. Hubby will bring him to me after school so that we can kind of explain all of this, and I’m so nervous! I could definitely use some advice or encouragement!
What’s important right now is that you keep your stress level down you do everything that your doctors say to keep your baby in so that way you can at least make it to where the baby is viable outside of your womb if the baby is going to be born early and there are going to be sacrifices and hard things during this time but you can do it main priority is your health and baby’s health right now
I bet your son will understand more than you think, and you will be so proud when he does!!!
Just remember this is temporary, focus on the moment all your family will be at home, healthy and complete. Keep that vision in your mind to help you be strong. I would video chat allll day with my 6 year old.
I was admitted right before 30 weeks and stayed in the hospital til 34week. It was so hard, so lonely, and I missed my kids and fiance so much. I didn’t have many visitors besides my dad, my fiance, his mom and my best friend. Some days no one could come because we couldn’t find child care for my fiance to stay with me.
Try to distract yourself.
They let me walk around the floor when I was “stable” I had coloring books, I’d FaceTime people, I even made friends with a few nurses whom I still talk to today.
Praying for you and your little one! 
You’ve got this! Be honest and very thorough with him. Let him know you are being kept there to make sure you and the baby will be ok. Tell him his dad will bring him to see you everyday! Have him draw you pictures for your room.
please keep your stress level down, for your health and baby’s. At 6 years old, kids understand more than we know; explain in terms that he/she will understand from your family’s current situation. Remember mama this is temporary, the goal is to have a healthy baby in your arms. 
id have my husband bring my son to me everyday so I can spend a couple hours with him, I hope you both manage okay id be shook, I am 26 weeks and already panicking about being in the hospital for childbirth without my son. I hope they are able to do something so your son can be with you during the day
Things will be fine you said he was a very active father so that should make you feel really good about that. And I’m sure he will bring him to see you. Just pray about it and let God take care of the rest if u believe in prayer you will be ok. Try and stay positive as you can. If u have a phone we’re you can do FaceTime with your lil boy that will be good for you as well. But sweetie I wish your family the best of luck.
