Just got back from the OB.   She said the babies are almost 3 lbs. each and looking good.  I'm dilated to 1 and I was dehydrated.  She put me on pelvic rest and said I need to rest with my feet up several hours a day, from this point on.   I go every two weeks now, she will be doing internal exams every visit now too.  Im kinda nervous.  Anyone else dilate early??  Please share your stories with me.  Dr also said my babies head was still very high up.   Im kinda freaking out.

    I wasn't dilated but was put on bed rest at 28 weeks b/c my cervix was very soft & baby A's head was very very low. I was also having preterm contractions pretty bad & I was starting to funnel. My dr went ahead & did the steroid shots & we started progesterone shots too. I carried them to 34w6d & they were 5.1 & 5.3 w/ no nicu time.

    Good luck!!

    My SIL was dilated 1 cm at 28wks too.  She went all the way to 38 weeks with her twins!!  It can be done -- don't worry!! :)

    Yep, I was dilated to 1 cm at 29 weeks with shortened cervix (2.4cm) and funneling and was placed on bedrest. At 31 weeks I was 2 cm dilated & cervix was 1.9. I got placed on hospital bedrest from 31-34 weeks with 19 days of IV mag to stop contractions. Was released from hospital at 34 weeks but was 4-5 cm dilated. Contractions were managed with Procardia until 36 weeks when my OB said she would no longer try to stop labor. Everyday that went by I was sure I was gonna go into labor, but my little guys stayed put until 37 weeks 6 days, so you just never know what will happen. Just be sure to take it easy, rest alot and drink lots of water. Good Luck!!!

    I agree that with 1cm you could still go several more weeks! I think the bed rest is a great idea though! You just never know and you can't be too cautious....especially with twins!

    Yep, I was put on bedrest around 26w because I was dilated to 1cm and was having tons of contractions every day.  I was also put on Procardia ER.  Over time, my contractions would get worse and they would up my meds until eventually I didn't respond to them anymore and went into full-on labor at 35w3d when babies were born. 

    It is very common to dilate a little bit early on with twins.  Just take it easy and listen to your body.  Good luck to you.
