19wks preg with twins and got problems :(

You sound so strong MummyNelly, I'm sorry I can't do anything more than tell you I am thinking and praying for you and yours twins, and completely understand and respect your decision not to terminate.

:hug:

I think your two gorgeous daughters are lucky to have such strong and loving parents. :hug: Please keep us all updated with your progress, I'll be thinking of you.

Mummy Nelly - I have only just come across your post and read this whole thread from start until now. You are an amazing and strong woman with such a positive attitude. I can't even begin to imagine how you are feeling right now but please be comforted by the support on here - I will be watching this thread for your updates, keeping my fingers crossed and your family in my thoughts.

aww thanks again everyone! Last nite the most amazing thing happened I got to see the smaller baby kick! I've felt them both for weeks now but hadn't seen it til last nite! And being the little one too i was sooo happy!

Thats fantastic. Surely that means she is growing stronger. I have everything crossed for you that things will improve each week.

MummyNelly,

I hope everything goes well for your girls. I will be thinking of you.

we had another scan on tuesday and it showed both girls r growing and there is no further damage to lil ones brain (only what we already knew) there's 2 weeks growth difference between them but she said thats ok as its all over growth not just head. we attempted to get a look at their faces but they wouldnt look!!!

that's great news, how often are you getting scans? Hopefully the girls will not be so camera shy for the next one :D

Great to hear the girls are growing well. Get really excited everytime there is an update from you. Still think you're amazing too!

That is great news.

That is great news - I hope they continue to grow strong and healthy.

Thanks Ella :)
and thanks everyone else!! we're still having weekly scans at the moment, got the next one on thurs in melb and book in to the hosp and see the paediatric neurologist specialist. Big day but at least we can come back home that arvo. I'm liking being at home more!! I got a stack of gorgeous decor to put up in the girls room with butterflies and all things girly (reject shop! chipboard and gorgeous!). So hoping to get that done soon, got a good friend from sydney here for a few days so we're going to get started on it tomorrow. takes my mind off the problems!

Nelly, good news that nothing has deteriorated any further. Wow on seeing your daughter kick! That's fabulous!

Thinking of you.

Wow that's awesome news!! Can't wait to hear the next installment :D

good morning everyone, we got back from melbourne last nite after having scan and seeing paediatric neurologist. The scan showed pretty much same as last time (waste of time???) they r growing and looking good still 2wks diff between them but i dont expect a change in that! The paediatric neurologist just informed us of what we need to do once they r born and gave us a name of a local paed that we will see as she will need to see him asap after birth as the earlier we work on whatever issues she has the more she will get out of it. The paed was pretty good very reassuring and friendly. The girls have now changed position from both being head down (OUCH) to laying across my belly- so much more comfy for me but still have a very sore pelvis!

Wow! How exciting for you, twin girls!!! Im glad all is looking good:)

have only just found this thread mummynelly but wanted to say that i'm so happy to hear that everything is looking good.

dr edwards is awesome - he did my NT scan with DS (his clinic was where my GP gave me a referral to, i didn't realise exactly who he was at the time :lol:) & he would have to be one of the nicest dr's i've come across. so reassuring but with a sense of humour as well.

hope everything continues to go well :)

thanks Sloane, i agree he is the nicest doctor!! everytime we see him he asks if we still have his number lol he's been such a great support through all this.
Well today i'm aiming to get more done in the babies room as my best friend from sydney was down last weekend and we got it sorted to some extent then went shopping and bought more lol plus my mums group had a baby shower for me the other day so need to rearrange a bit to fit everything in (its a very small room!). I get my pelvic belt this week i can't wait i'm really hoping it allows me to do more than i'm able to at the moment!! i could hardly walk friday morning my pelvis was killing me and i could barely move (it was really cold too and i've noticed the cold weather doesnt help). Hope ur all doing well :) also i had belly pics taken yesterday so might play around a bit with them later too!
