Re write with more informations and question and wordier differently
Paper thin cervix/ funneling/water bag bag bulging?i was wondering if anyone else has or had this? im turning weeks 28 weeks tomorrow twin pregnany (smaller baby due date was august 25th on ultrasound but she caught up to her sister who due date was august 21st on ultrasond but theyre going with august 25th) if anyone had this problem when did you go into labor? When did your water bag pop? I have to have a c section baby a is breech and baby b is transverse. I've have been having contractions which they are giving me medicine to stop it (magnesium)and other medicine for preterm labor (penicillin) water thru IV ect but I would really appreciate it if someone tell me they're story. I'm sad to be in labor this early been trying to find out more information about my situation anything would help. MFM says I won't be leaving this hospital pregnant and others in my situation typically last up to 3 weeks. Has anyone lasted longer? Long big sigh and yes I'm in the hospital I'm looking for answers I'm nerves. I got four steroid shots to help the babies lungs mature. If you did have your baby early how far along where you? Did you're baby survive? Did he or she have health problems? Does he or she still have health problems? Wha to expect with a preemie? What to expect with babies in level 3 NICU? Sorry I'm just really nervous and looking for any type of information that will help

Our rainbows were born 07/19/13 (36w, 5d)
I'm sorry you're in this situation. Once bags were bulging, I only lasted 3 days before my water broke because they could not stop my contractions. Generally, they say that a baby will be discharged around their due date. My boys came home 2 and 3 weeks before, but they were later gestation than your LOs. Wishing you and our babies the best. I hope they stay in a few more weeks.
My ds was released at 37w1d gestation and my dd I still in the hospital at 38w1d. She should be out around her due date.
At 26w babies have an 85 chance of survival. At 28w I'm sure it's much higher. Can you tour NICU? Have you met with a neonatologist?
Check out the preemie board, they're helpful.
They came home 10 days before their due date after 70 days.

I'm going through it right now. I delivered my boy/girl twins at 27w, 2d. I had the same issues you are having and once I was readmitted at 27w for 3-4cm and a water bag bulging, they said I wasn't leaving the hospital until I delivered. I was hoping to get to 30 weeks, but I ended up having Strep B and spontaneously went into labor. It was my body's way of saying something is wrong and the babies needed out. With increased dilation and effacement, you are more susceptible to infection. Every last mother in my NICU right now (twins or no twins) that had an early birth, it was all due to cervical issues and most had some type of infection, mostly chorio.
With all that said, my babies are thriving and doing great. In the NICU, they say the phrase "one step forward, two steps back". Every day is a new day. And every day that you stay pregnant, helps your babies. My babies are now 31w, 4d and my boy went from 2lbs to 3lbs, 4oz. And my girl went from 1lb 14oz to 2lbs 10oz. I also had the 4 steriod shots and magnesium...no brain bleeds so far. Our little guy was anemic so he got a blood transfusion yesterday but from what I understand, that's all "normal early gestation" preemie stuff. They are both on cpap machines and we can't wait until they move to nasal canula. A level 3 NICU will put you in good hands and at 28 weeks gestation, you're at a 90-95% chance of survival.
Best of luck and keep those babies in as long as you can!
