Just found this thread, wishing you and your twins all the best and hope you can get sorted and some answers soon.
mrs s - pain can lead to increase heart rate and bp which can lead you to also feel hot and sweaty, and can also lead to nausea/vomiting if not treated. and remember there is no such thing as dumb questions only stupid people lol.
ballarat hosp does have some useless nurses, remember that from when my mum was in there. they just dont have much of a clue. if you are quiet and dont kick a stink they just ignore the fact that you are there?

You need to talk to a consultant ASAP. Ask to see one now. You need to start making a real nuisance of yourself. It sounds like they're bloody useless.
Have they given you a steroid shot for bubs' lungs?
Do you have a pen and paper? I think you need to write down some questions that will light a fire under them. Ask that they make a photocopy for your records, so if something goes pear shaped, it's in there.
I hope the babies stay in for another few weeks.
Yeah Tash had my last steroid injection last night.
Well my scan took 2 hours and I heard the scariest words of my life
"we are just going to check for clots in your lungs and blockages to your heart" :'(
It was horrible I nearly stopped breathing a few times it felt like my head was going to explode and I kept going in and out of consciousness it was extremely scary and I'm still quite shaken from the ordeal.
Contractions are getting less bearable even with pain killers.
My lucky streak of having a room to myself is also over I came back and there's another lady in here
It's at the stage I want these babies out NOW just so this bull **** is over and I know that's bad because they should cook longer but this can't be healthy for them

I'd ask the physician at what stage would they transfer you to Melbourne.
Written that down so I remember! The burning is getting worse too but there's nothing they can check to see if it was my plug because I lost it in the toilet or is there a way they can see?

Just found the thread Nikkie, sending huge hugs.
Write all those questions down and whatever is in your head, get it out and get those answers.
Things can go wrong quickly with twins and pre term labour, so make sure you are happy with your care.
Remember bubs are at a good gestation now, my little man was born at 31 weeks and is doing well, a big fat Chubber now.
Thinking about you,
Take care
Thank you BF was he in nicu long

Well doh! About time. I hope someone pulls their finger out soon and sends you to the RWH.
Dont want to stress you. You'll be fine, you just need to be in a better facility with a great NICU. Sending calming vibes.

hey Mrs S- just wanted to send my stay put vibes for your bubbas
my twins were born at 30 weeks- not ideal but they made it
they spent 33 days in NICU/ICU so came home at almost 36 weeks - DS in NICU for 7 days and DD didnt go to NICU- straight to SCN!! Girls are a bit tougher lol
please it would really be worth getting the ball moving to get into the city - either RWH, Mercy or Monash- they all have level 3 nurseries on premise- also the RCH has a level 3 nursery. They usually recommend a level 3 nursery under 34 weeks so even if you stay in melb till you pass that point
a really good doc to get on board is the head of multiple birth and patron of Australian Mulitple birth ass. A leader in multiple births in melb!!
perhaps even ring and explain what is going on and see what he recommends!!!
twins at 31 weeks have between 80-90% of being fine! Not an easy journey but the longer they bake obviously the better
for every one day inutero is 2 days less in SCN/ICU
Hang in there hun and happy to speak/chat whenever you want to another twin mumma who has been there and done that!!
hugs hun

I'm astounded by their lack of concern and sense of urgency - and the Base is not a small hospital! They should be more competent that this! Grrr!
Registered User
I reckon that's on the money, can you call and see what he recommends - even if it just give base the foot up the arse they need

I will try look up his number thank you very much! I have so much pressure in my vagina it feels like it's going to burst which I guess would make sense with a frank breech
