A different kind of story

Hi...I was on here about 7/8 months back after adopting my daughter.  She was born at 28 weeks and we were involved in her care immediately. I'm now expecting twins...22 weeks and freaking out ...I know I technically didn't give birth to my DD as a preemie...but the twins are mono Di and will be delivered at the latest 36 weeks but most likely before...and I'm dreading NICU again esp since we just left there 6 months ago... any help in trying to stay positive.
After three miscarriages and one ectopic pregnancy we are currently pursuing adoption. " Born not from our flesh, but born in our heart. You were longed for and wanted and loved from the start."

    Congrats on the twins and the adoption of your DD!  I can imagine the fear if another NICU stay, but the silver lining is that you've BTDT which makes scary, sure, but you also kind of know what to expect.  I hope you can keep your twins cooking as long as possible!

    Congratulations on the pregnancy! It is completely normal to worry especially since you have already been through the NICU and know what happens. But this board is extremely helpful and supportive so we will be here for you! T&Ps that babies stay put until 36 weeks!

    Also, if you are interested, there is a weekly check in for moms of preemies who are pregnant again. It has really helped me get through the ups and downs of my pregnancy after having a 26 weeker.
