Thoughts and prayers!! Crossing fingers bed rest does the trick and those babies stay safely where they need to be until they are good and ready. Crossing fingers you're able to enjoy the time and be able to relax as well with tv shows and magazines.
Went to a perinatal yesterday and my cervix measured between 1.8-2 cm. Exactly a week prior it was at 3 cm. The entire day was scary & emotional, as the perinatal did not mince words when telling me what could happen and what would happen if these babies were to be born anytime soon (he basically said they wouldn't have a chance). He then told me to head straight to the hospital and go to L&D to make sure I'm not having contractions. I bawled the entire way there alone & scared. He also told me they no longer recommend cerclages for pregnancies of twins or more so that was not an option (new study came out). Basically he said all I can do is hope it works out. Finally after a few hours in L&D and (thank God) no contractions, my OB came and made me feel much better. She agreed a cerclage is not an option but to go on strict bedrest and that we can try progesterone suppositories although they were also recently not proven to really help for multiples in the same study but that it can't hurt to try. I'm so nervous & worried and I just don't know what to expect. Has anyone else had experience like this before? I could really use some positive stories to keep my hopes up. I don't know what I'll do if something bad were to happen at this point. please keep us in your prayers.
You said you are alone. Is your SO or family around to help you? Are you going to stay on bed rest at the hospital?
My friend who was pregnant with twins had to stay on bed rest for a month but it got her twins that much more time to develop. Sending positive thoughts.
I'm so sorry to hear this Hun. I've never gone through this and really don't know what to say apart from thinking of you and keeping you all in my thoughts xx
