Update on Us

Just wanted to give you guys a little update on us. Got the steriod injections the past few days and was having contractions at the hospital (but they were not sure they were contractions Chat Icon whole nother story). However, the doppler showed that both boys blood flow is still really good as are their blood flows and fluid levels. So my doctor is going to monitor them continuously (but no hospital time for now) and if the weight disparity goes above 30% they will take them (right now it's about 21%). The goal is to keep them in for at least two more weeks then the NICU time drops by a lot. So I am hanging in there. Just a lot of tests and anxious about everything. But i know it will be all worth it in the end. Plus as my doctor said these guys are really doing great and i made it to 34 weeks which is what they were hoping for.

Re: Update on Us

I saw your update in the other post. Those weights are great, one of my boys was 6 lbs 10 ozs and the only reason he needed to stay in the NICU was becuase he had a heart issue which we knew about before he was born. He had to have a procedure and was sent home the next day. If it was not for that he would have never needed to even be in the NICU. He ate well when he was born and was doing great, just had a touch of jaundice and was under the lights.

My other little man, he was 3 lbs 10 ozs and he was set to go home to in a week, but he got NEC. My son was IUGR, which is inter uterine growth retardation and he was very small, but your little guy is much bigger then mine was, and I delivered mine at 35.5 weeks.

Good Luck!! If you need to talk fm me. I know this is a very stressful time, but try your best to relax and let those babies grow and grow. Their weights are great and that is a great sign.
