hi sarah
my name is also sarah and i think what you have spoken about is amazing my identical twins werent even picked up until i was 20 weeks pregnanct so i had no clue i was even carrying 2. I developed TTTS when i was 30 weeks and was hospitalized for nearly 3 weeks it wasnt until after i was found to have TTTS that they gave me daily ultrasonds until i was 36 weeks when on one of my ultrasounds they found twins 1 was still not growing i was so mad and sick of being messed around that i demand they induce me as a lovely female dr had told me earlier not to be messed around and that if twin 1 hadnt grown by my next scan i demand being induced. Im glad i did this as i was induced at 36+6 and both twins came out ok a little small but ok. I completely agree with what your saying and think its fantastic you are standing up for this.
Wow TwinsMummy - not found until 20 weeks, that's amazing!!! You might find interesting that also in the guidelines is making 37 weeks full term for identicals as the incident of still birth above this date is dramatically high. It does sound like your care once they picked up TTTS was really good. There is so much more to consider with identicals that it makes this new statement so important for ensuring consistent care will be provided.

And thanks ladies for your congratulations - I do feel really proud to have been the trigger to get this into writing.
