Preemies

New Here

Hi ladies!

I've lurked here for several months, but I never thought I'd be posting so soon.  Long story short - after almost 18 months of TTC, DH and I were successful with IUI #2.  Soon after we discovered we were having twins, BOYS!  I knew that the boys would be born early, but I never thought I'd be delivering them at 29w6d. 

Both boys are in NICU and are breathing with little O2 support.  No CPAP or vent.  I know it's going to be a long, hard road.  Thanks in advance for your support, advice and wisdom!

  • Welcome and congrats on your boys.  Our Kevin was conceived with our second IUI too.
  • First and foremost, Congratulations! This board (and the early arrivals forum on diaperswappers.com) were a saving grace when my little lady made her early appearance. Thoughts and prayers your way for a short NICU stay!

  • Congrats on your boys!! Tyler was born on 2/12 at 28w4d. He was in the NICU for 20 days and then moved to the special care nursery closer to home. He has been there for 13 days. We expect a long road ahead but he is doing really well so far. So I know what you are going through! This board really saved my sanity and continues to do so every day. I hope your NICU stay is short and uneventful!
  • Welcome!  I've been thinking about you and your boys!  I'm so glad to hear that so far they are doing well. Hang in there, the NICU can seem like a rollercoaster ride.  PM me if you need to talk!

  • Congrats and welcome.  My DD was born at 30 weeks and is doing great.  We were in the hospital for 69 days and it was hard I won't lie but she is now a happy and healthy 20 month old.  She is at or above her actual age for almost all her developmental milestones.  It gets better I promise!

  • Congrats!!

    It sounds like your boys are doing great so far!  T&P to your little guys.

    My advice is to remember to take care of yourself too during this time.  My DS was born at 26w2d and it was a long stay, so taking evenings off to recharge once in a while were really important. 

     

  • Congrats! Hoping for a short NICU stay and for your boys to go home healthy!
