:pray: Hi all. I am now 26wks and 3days with B/G twins. I just spent 3 days in hospital because I started to get some abdo pains. I have been given a course of steroids to boost the bubs lungs and have been told I could go in to labour anytime :crossfingers: My cervix is very short ( only 1cm) and both heads are pushing down (keen little buggers!) Heres hoping I can keep my legs crossed for atleast 4wks more! :pray: Gotta stay positive!!!
Kim, congratulations on your twins :) Wishing you all the very best, and hoping those bubs stay put for a bit longer. :crossfingers:
Hi Kim, congratulations on your twins hears hopeing they stay put for a few more weeks wishing you all the best.
It sounds like they are keen to meet you.
Jean
:) Thanx Amy. I appreciate your thoughts. Hope all is well with you and yours. By the way, your little girl is a doll! ;) Take care. Kim.
Hey, Jean.
Thanks for your thoughts. It will be very exciting to meet them. I just hope it will be after Christmas. Thats my plan anyway!?!? Your bubs are adorable!!! B.F.N. Kim.
Thanks Kim :)
Hey Kim's bubbies!
I know you are very keen to meet your mummy, but please stay inside as loooooooooooong as you can.
Congratulations to you Kim! Hang in there and rest a lot.
:pray: Thanks for your interest. I am pretty scared. I have to keep telling myself all will be fine...what else can I do? I saw ob and he thinks I will be feeding bubs at xmas!! That is less than 4wks away!! Help!! I have nothing ready!! I will be 31wks by then. How far did you get with Sarah and Samuel? Can you enlighten me a little? Was it a natural birth or c-sect? My bubs are both head down, really down!! Take care of yourself and those gorgeous bubs. Hope to hear back from you real soon. Kim. :bellyrubs::crossfingers:
hey Kim
My twins were born at 31 weeks
although it was a bit hairy at first, they are nearly 5 years old and have no probs being born early.
Your twins will be in hospital for a couple of months until they are at least 36 weeks gestation, maintaining their own temps, feeding and over 2kg, so you will have time to preprare before they come home!
IF you have any other questions, feel free to ask
my twins were c-section as twin 1 was breech and his placenta had stopped working and had to come out pretty quick.
One of the the other forums i am on, had a woman who's membranes were bulging and her cervix was on 1cm in Sept. She is now 33 weeks!!! So rest, rest, rest!!!!
keep them in as long as you can- for every day inside you is two less days in NICU/Special care!
make sure you get to see the special care/NICU facilities before you deliver so its not so scary!!
take care and good luck!!

Hey Odette,
Thanks for sharing you experience. I am 28wks tomorrow (another milestone reached! :dance:) I was given steriods about 3wks ago to boost bubs lungs etc. Did you have any probs prior to your 31wk delivery? Did you experience a lot of branxton hicks contractions? I am hoping that is what I am feeling?! :pray: I really appreciate your insights. Thanks! Take care. Kim :)
Good luck Kim the most important thing to do is rest up.Let's hope they decide to stay in there a bit longer.
Good on you for getting to 28 weeks! Great stuff.
Went to my twin niece and nephew's 2nd birthday party yesterday. They were born at 30 weeks and they're such gorgeous, entertaining little cuties. There is so much joy ahead of you! I will keep praying that your little ones can hold out for a few more weeks yet. :)
;) Thanks Pansy and Amy! I really appreciate your thoughts and words. Every day is a milestone at the moment. :pray: My dream is to still be at home for xmas so I can be with my two girls, and husband of course, enjoying the day! But whatever will be will be! My parents have come down to help me for a week or so. :clap: Xtra rest..just what the doctor ordered! :lol: Thanks again guys. Be in touch soon. :bellyrubs::doctor:
Gook Luck Kim and hope you have a wonderful Xmas.
:) Thanks Leemar! I hope to enjoy xmas with my family. My eldest turns 7 on the 18th dec too. Wishing you and your family all the best for the silly season!!! And hope you have a great 2008!! Love Kim. ;)
All you ladies are an inspiration to those of us who are TTC - I wish you all the luck and all the best in the world for 2008 :)
Thanks Lizjessie,
Wishing you a very merry christmas and may all your dreams be fulfilled in 2008.:) Kim.;)
Thankyou very much Kim.
Have a very merry Christmas and give you special little ones a huge hug for me when they come into this world :)
:hello::D Hope everyone had a safe and happy xmas and new year and I wish you all the very best for every happiness in 2008!!
:clap: I am now 32 and a half wks with my twins!!! :lol: I have reached a huge milestone and I am very relieved. I am experience a lot of pain n discomfort over the past few days especially...bad lower back pain and lots of abdo spasms! It is incredibly difficult to get around now! But it will all be worth it very soon! :pray:
I am getting very anxious to meet my babies and I am now hanging on so they spend less time in NICU..thats what the doc ordered anyway! :lol:
Take care all and hope to have big news soon. KIM xxx:bellyrubs:
How wonderful that you have hung in there this long!! Take care.
Yay Kim, I was wondering how it was all going. That is so fantastic!
I remember feeling at 28 weeks how keen I was to meet my DS no matter what and then I saw my friends premmie twins and realised how much each day helps them. Good on you! They will be here so soon anyway.
Please keep us in the loop (as much as someone so close can anyway. )
Big hugs.
Good to hear all is going well
Thanks for your interest in my pregnancy everyone. I promise to keep you posted. :D Take care all!
OMG - well done!
Hi Kim,
Congratulations, glad you've made it so far, hope everything goes really well for you.
M :)
congratulations Kim on getting this far...I now from about 32 weeks onwards I spent most of my time on the lounge.I ached all over but especially down there..It hurt to walk..everything..
Make sure you have lots of rest as you will be a very busy mummy when your twins arrive..
Well done on making it this far!
:D Thanks Cindy and Pansy! I am nearly 35wks now!!! I saw my Doc yesterday...the girl is measuring 35wks and the boy is measuring 36wks and burrowing down HEAPS! All is good, except for the pain (I sure know what u mean Pansy, cruel!) Any day sounds great to me :pray:!! My other two girls are getting a bit frustrated with the lack of energy and physical activity I can join them in :cry: Just to make it thru the day with elephant feet and unbelievable discomfort is an achievement! Will keep u all posted. Take care and by for now.
KIM :bellyrubs:
Kim congrats on your little ones hanging in there for you over xmas.:confetti:
Hope the birth goes well wishing you all the best for a short stay in hossie.:goodluck:
Jean
:bhcontract::bellyrubs: Thanks Jean. I am getting so excited about meeting them. All those inspiring comments and kind words and prayers have done wonders. THANKS to everyone!!! Hope to be the bearer of great news very soon. :pray:;)
I just wanted to say congratulations on making it so far even after the doctor said you should be feeding babies by xmas. You have done so well. As i was reading down your posts from the begining i thought that for sure your last post was going to be that you had had your babies but you are doing a great job. It must be hard and i am thinking of you and good luck and i will be reading your posts to see how you are going.
Nikki
Congratulations kim hope you see your babies soon.
KIm id just like to say well done on getting this far sweet... carrying twins isnt the easiest thing youve got 2 extra lil people to feed, carry and try to keep in your belly as long as possible. Its great that youve got this far though. If you ever wanna know anything im always hear and dont mind helping with any questions you may have. Twins are a beautiful miracle....
Thanks Nikki. I really appreciate it. I am having an emotional day today..all those hormones and the anxiety of it all I guess. Just trying to think positive!:
Thanks Leanne. Everyones interest means alot...keeps me positive so I don't become overwhelmed!
Hey, Sarah...your girls are adorable. I love their names..very pretty! Thanks for offering to share your experience. May I ask...I thought yesterday was the day because I had incredible bearing down pains. A couple of days ago the boys head was partially engaged..could the pain have been his head fully engaging?? I seem to have dropped alot too. Did you feel /experience any warning signs at all? If so, please do tell. Both my bubs are around the 5lb mark at the moment (boy is a bit bigger, and keener!).
Hi Kim,
Congratulations sweetie, you are doing so well....and to think you have come this far is truely amazing (how wrong was your Dr).
Take care and get as much rest as you can ....you need to saviour some of that energy for when bubba's are born.
That pain you are feeling is very likely due to the fact that bubs are engaging...i had the same feeling when my bub engaged sometimes it even stopped me in my tracks.
Well i never really had any signs i had bad braxton hick for ages. But i wasnt very lucky as i was induced at 36 weeks as i was told hannah was 3 pound which we later found out wasnt true she ended up being 4 pound 9 oz .... i wish i could have gone into labor on my own but wasnt that lucky... But with twins im guessing it would be very hard to tell between what pains your feeling as carrying twins is very hard and the ampunt of pressure youd be feeling would be so painful. And i saw you were having a bad day today well try and keep your chin up sweeetie your carrying twins which means double the emotion when you have a bad day.... I will tell you a story that will make you laugh when i was about 30 weeks pregnant i stubbed my toe it hurt so much but instead of sayin ouch and walking away i sat there and cried and cried and cried lie id just lost my toe hahaha my partner sat there laughing at me while i was a mess its so funny now but i can understand where your coming from and its hard. It is hard to smile cause your body is going through alot at the moment.
Thanks Westy. I guessed as much (and hoped) :lol:. The movement of the bubs have slowed alot too. I guess they are running out of room! Sure feels that way!
Thanks twinsmummy31! I too have had really strong braxton hicks for ages. Today I am 35wks :confetti: My belly seems to be extra low and the pressure is incredible...today maybe??? My back is aching too. I sure know what you mean about those hormones! And not getting much sleep due to being so uncomfortable and needing to pee every hr doesnt help much either. :lol: Thanks for your kind inspiring words. :D
Anytime kim i wish you the best off luck and keep me posted ok i wanna know how everything is going BIG HUGS :hug:
