Double post from Oct 2014 board. The twins are here at 34 weeks!

The two new additions to our family have arrived! Peter Jacob and Sophia Jeanette were born at 3:26 and 3:28 am Saturday, August 23rd at 34 weeks and 2 days. My water broke at 6 pm on Friday, and they started me on steroids to develop their lungs. The thought was to try to wait 2 days to let the steroids work, but the babies had different ideas! I started getting contractions about 12:45 am, and since Peter (baby A) was still breech, they did a c-section. Surgery went well, and Peter is 5 lb 7 oz, and Sophia is 5 lb 0 oz. They are both doing well, and on room air. We just started Sophia on bottle feedings, and will try breastfeeding later today. Peter was taking feeding through a tube, but spitting up too much and they backed him back down to IV for now.

    I'm feeling pretty good! I think I overdid it yesterday with being up and being in the NICU so much, so I'm gonna try to take care of myself more today. Pain from the c-section is pretty much under control, and just a slight headache. Thanks for asking!

    Congrats. I also have b/g twins born at 34 weeks. Thats so great that they're both on room air. My daughter was on room air the whole time but my soon ended up needing some oxygen for awhile. I also didn't make it through my 48 hours of steroid shots. Hope your babies are out if the NiCU and home with you soon.

    Congrats!!!  b/g twins at 34 wks here as well.  No steroids, as it was too much of a surprise.  :)
    Mine also didn't need anything, but they kept my boy an extra 6 days after I went home - called him a 'poor feeder'.  We fought to bring him home and he gained 14 oz the first week!  Don't be afraid to fight for your babies if need be!  Hope you all come home very soon.
