Hi Ladies
I tried to intro yesterday and once I typed out my post I lost it so I got frustrated and didn't try again.
Anyway, on Saturday night while I was on hospital bedrest I lurked here a little and found some comfort in the success stories that were posted. Thinking I have another few weeks of bedrest left in me, I went to sleep only to wake up at 5 am to some bleeding. I called my nurse and was almost immeditely taken to labor and delivery bc I was fully dilated. The bleeding turned out to be a detatched placenta. All I can say is thank god I was already in the hospital. My babies were delivered via emergency c section 45 minutes after I called my nurse.
Both boys are critical but stable. They are where we expect them to be at 25 weeks. They have a lot of tubes and IV's in them which is hard to see. I am hoping for a quick few weeks and an uneventful NICU stay. Can't wait to hold my boys and hear them cry.
Thanks for reading. I hope to get to know you ladies over the next few weeks.

Welcome! Always a strange thing to say given the circumstances - but glad you found us. Good luck to you and the boys. I hope their NICU stay goes smoothly.
Welcome and congrats on your LOs! Hoping that your NICU stay is short and uneventful. Keep us posted on your boys' progress. We'll be here to listen.
How are you recovering from your c/s?
Mom of a 26 weeker here!
FIrst, congratulations on the birth of your babies. I know it probably feels weird to hear that, but you shouldn't miss out on the congratulations just because they were born so early.
I'm glad to hear your babies are doing well so far! Please keep us posted on how they're doing. My son was in the NICU for 70 days, which was a bit on the short end for a preemie of his gestational age. I hope your stay is short (relatively speaking, anyway) and uneventful!

Wow! I'm glad you were in the hospital, too! My baby came out like a fast bang, too - while I was working, but luckily my job was two blocks away from my hospital.
Post a photo when you have a chance. It will be nice getting to know you
(and congrats!)
Welcome and congrats on your boys!
I'm glad they are stable and I hope they continue to do well so you can have as short of a stay as possible. My 27-weeker was in for 73 days and is home and healthy now. The NICU ride is often full of ups and downs-we've all been through it so please post often and ask question or vent as needed. This group was amazingly supportive when my DD was in the NICU and continues to be a great resource!
PS-there is a list of NICU resources that we collected over the summer linked in my siggy.
