My heart is sad - friend had a stat c-section....
of her 24 week twins yesterday. She had zero warning signs of preterm labor before yesterday. The tocolytic did not work and the babies were in distress. I'm not sure if they got any doses of steroids or not. She has already lost one baby. I do not know how the other baby is doing. My heart just aches for them. It could have been me. I was sent home on bedrest before that time. I cannot even fathom how they are feeling right now or how they will endure these next few months.
It's a good reminder to us all that multiples pregnancies are sacred and unpredictable. Always always listen to your body. I am just beside myself.....life just isn't fair.
Now go hug your babies or your bellies. It's a reminder to myself to be truly and absolutely thankful for my almost 30 weekers I am still baking.
Three losses in 2009;
Boy/Girl twins born in 2010

Re: My heart is sad - friend had a stat c-section....
that is horrible.
A good friend of mine lost her twins at 23w... they both lived 4 and 5 days. it was the week I found out i was pg with the twins - very hard for me to tell her - and just very hard for everyone because of the loss.
prayers for your friend.
Yes- carrying to 38w gives me a lot of guilt knowing how many twin mom's don't get very far and end up with preemies with problems- or worse.
This just makes me sick. I'm so sorry.
oh that is heartbreaking. you're right, it is so unfair. so very sorry for them.
yes, i am so thankful for getting past my scare at 23wks.
Oh no : ( That is just awful. My heart breaks for them. I can't even imagine how they're feeling. I'll keep them in my T&Ps.
You're so right that this reminds us to always pay attention to our bodies. I had no clue whatsoever that I was contracting at 22w. But I did have very minor cramping and pressure every once in a while. If I hadn't told my OB that randomly (thinking it wasn't a big deal).... well I don't even want to think about it. Anyway I hope your friend finds peace and comfort in the midst of this awful time.
