Hi there. A few of the ladies on the multiples board suggested I pop over here.  My boy/girl twins were born 12 days ago at 26w4d and of course have been in the NICU since. I had preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome.

 Amazingly, they are doing incredible.  They are off ventilators, CPAP and only on a high flow nasal cannula.  They even had their IVs removed yesterday and are on only breast milk at this point. Both did have PDAs, but they were treated by restricting fluids a bit and they have since closed.

Our little girl is 2 oz from her birth weight and little boy is 1 oz from his, so they should get there by their 2 week birthday.

I look forward to learning about this journey from all of you!

    Welcome! It does sound like your LOs are doing incredibly well -- yours were off of CPAP faster than my girls -- who arrived 3 weeks after yours! Our NICU wouldn't really entertain movement to the high flow cannula until they hit 1500g.

    Congrats on your twins and welcome, although I'm sorry you have to be here. I hope that you are recovering too. I also had severe preeclampsia and HELLP. Dd was born at 27 weeks and is now 9 months. Lots of good thoughts for all of you.
