Hello! New mom to 34 week twin girls

Hello everyone! I would like to introduce myself. I just had my twin girls via c-section last Saturday the 8th after my water unexpectedly broke. My girls are both in the NICU. Baby A was a full pound bigger than Baby B. They are both doing well and have been taken off oxygen and only have feeding tubes now. If Baby A can take her feedings entirely from a nipple for 48 hours than we can take her home. Baby B has a bit of a longer stay but should be home with us in the next couple weeks. I look forward to getting to know you all and getting some great advice!

    Congrats on your girls and welcome!

    No one really wants to join our board but it sounds like your girls are doing well! This is a great board for support, both in the NICU and at home. Check out the links in my siggy for some good resources when you get time.

    I hope the rest of your NICU journey is short and uneventful!

    Congrats and welcome! I have twin boys who were born at 33w2d and had a relatively uneventful NICU stay. Twins are the best!

    Congratulations on the birth of your girls. Sounds like they are doing very well in the NICU. Praying for a short and uneventful NICU stay.

    Congrats! I too had twin girls at a little under 34 weeks. Remember to take care of yourself while they are in the NICU! it all seems to scary at first but they are much stronger than us adults give them credit for.

    Welcome! They both sound like they're doing great! We were 33 weekers! My baby A came home 2 weeks after birth, and baby B just a couple days after that. Baby C was a full 2 weeks later. I have to say - I think that was the hardest part of the whole journey was having one at home and one still there.

    A few words of advice the nurses kept telling me (though I am not sure I truly took it to heart back then!) - they are different babies entirely. So one may excel and come home earlier, but that doesn't mean there's anything "wrong" with the other. If it was two children from two different families you wouldn't bat an eye at the differences, so try to keep that in mind as you go through this journey!
