Jesus! I missed this whole thread. I'm so sorry! My heart skipped a beat reading this, I can't imagine how scared you are. Im praying for you and hoping to get past viability,
Nothing can be compared to what you are going through, but I did want to say that a c-section recovery isn't always awful. I just hate to see that being an extra source of anxiety for you.
Lurking from May 2015. Fellow twin momma also with a body that apparently hates me. I am so sorry you are going through this, lots of thoughts and prayers! And some creepy internet hugs
What a terrible, scary time for you. I hate how things can change so quickly. Only yesterday you had a good appointment, right?
So I promised you farther along for my stories of hope. I feel like now is a good time to bring up one. Like I said before, my bestie's friend had her water break early. As in baby in there with no fluid. And despite the fact, she was kept on bedrest in the hospital for a full 2 weeks before she gave birth. Her son is going to be 2 in May. Amazing things are possible with modern medicine and I hope all the best for you and your babes.
I hate how unfair this is. I hate that you are going through this horrid experience. You're in my thoughts and prayers continually. Know that you are wrapped in our creepy Internet hugs and love!!
No, no, NO! Things were JUST looking up finally! Fuck you, placenta - stay where you fucking are and do your damn job! I'm so angry/scared/sad for you - I can't even imagine the level of stress you are under right now. You have all of my T&P!
I am so sorry you're going through this and thank you for updating us. It's so unfair. Sending positive thoughts and love and keeping you in my prayers.
Oh my god. I'm so scared for you and your boys! Is there anything they can do besides bed rest and wait? I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. Praying my hardest for better news tomorrow. Hang in there.
There is not much to do right now. My MFM just came in to chat for a bit about an hour ago. She said that typically when someone pPROMs (preterme, premature rupture of membranes) things either progress in 48-72hours, or don't. She said that if my body doesn't start going into labor in the next 48-72 hours, we have a good chance to make it to viability.
I woke up to leaking on Thursday morning, which I thought was pee, turns out it wasn't. Since I've been ruptured since Thursday, our 48 hour mark is tomorrow morning, so I've already made it that far.
They originally thought the boys were sharing a placenta, but now that they can see one placenta hanging down, they think there are two. This means we might be able to save baby B even if baby A has to come out/passes away inside. She also thinks I can try for a vaginal delivery, since the placenta is so detached, it will just slide right out. This gives baby B more hope. If we have to do a c-section, we lose them both.
She told us the NICU here will take babies as early as 22 weeks, as long as their weight is more than 350 grams... That's a .78 lb baby...she is ordering me a high protein diet, and protein shakes to try to get their weight up.
The best thing is, I'm not having any contractions at all, which is a good sign things might stay stable.
Baby A is Miles, Which means Solider. We are hoping he is going to solider up for this shit and pull through.
I'm not TL;DR this. Sorry.

Thanks for the update. I'm thinking all kinds of positive thoughts for You and Scott and Wishing so much strength for Miles. I want these boys to make it together, so protein up and rest but don't pressure yourself. So much out of your hands at this point. I'm sure they are feeling all your love for them.
Re: Admitted to the hospital-. Last update page 16 (or something like that)
So, so, sorry. I'm praying very hard for strength for you, Scott and Miles, and the rest of your family.
