Well this was unexpected

Bear with me as I am still kind of in shock and my thoughts are going a million miles an hour..... I went in for my routine visit to see my MFM he checked my cervix and was really quiet I knew something was off. He then started the U/S and quickly called in the other dr. They told me I was a CM dilated and baby A was starting to engage. We then found that Colton "baby b" had slowed growth and had not gained anything in a while while Cayden was still right on track. So I'm in the hospital 3 hours from home at a level 4 NICU/ maternity ward where we will soon be meeting our boys if Colton doesn't put on any weight soon. I am on mag. Sulfate and steroids to stop the labor and help their lungs. Everything was going great with them and within a 5 day gap between OB appt and MFM appt things changed drastically. I'm 26 weeks Thursday so I am praying I can keep them in longer. It's terrifying thinking they could be here so soon. I never in a million years thought this was how my day was going to go when I woke up this morning. I'm just doing my best to keep them in and keep calm. Anyone who has delivered around 26 week mark I would love any advice and how things turned out for you!
Together 6 wonderful years.

I delivered at 26w4d due to HELLP and severe preeclampsia. It was completely unexpected and the babies were born 9 hours after I went to the doctor. I was on mag and got the steroid shot for lungs approximately 4 hours before they were born. Baby A (Quinn) was 1 lb 13 oz and 13.5" long, Baby B (Silas) was 1 lb 13 oz and 13.75" long. They were born, intubated and taken to the NICU immediately. I was able to go to the NICU after recovery to see them and touch them. It was a terrifying sight, however they were alive and okay.
Quinn was in the hospital for 88 days and Silas for 74 days. I am so happy to say that neither baby has any health issues at all. We see a physical therapist every week to catch them up to their actual age, but other than that they are treated like term babies.
It is a very hard road, however one you can certainly do and manage. I'd suggest you check out the preemie board as those ladies are helpful too. Best of luck to you and your babies, I hope you keep them in for a long time.
We had a MoM in our club go on hospital bedrest at 28 weeks, due to deliver "any day.". She made it to 36 weeks. Anything can happen!
Prayers for you and your babies!
"I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always.
As long as I'm living,
my baby you'll be."
