LOL Dark_Star I have always had the steroid shots in my thighs. Boys are a great weight (my 35 week boy was 5lbs) and I am hoping all goes well for you all. Do you have to be moved to a bigger hospital or can you stay local?

 

[Tink1o5]

Good luck dark star! I will keep checking back for updates! So excited for you.

 

[Dark_Star]

It looks like I am in pre-labor. My FFN (fetal fibronectin) swab is positive which means the connective tissue holding babies in is coming "unglued" and there is good chance they will arrive within the next 2 weeks.

Cervix is still long and closed so I have been sent home to wait for changes. Hopefully this is a slow process and they will stick around for another couple weeks.

 

[Hit Girl]

Wow! Look at the difference with those charts!

Very excited for you D_S. Sending you so much love.

 

[Tink1o5]

well hopefully all goes smoothly for you Hun.

 

[MissR]

Oh how exciting dark star! I think you will be the first of us owls to have your babies!

Good luck xx

Good luck Darkstar hope your boys stay in for an extra couple of weeks but you have done so well getting your twins so far along

 

[3boys]

Yes I would have to be moved to a larger hospital 430km (5 hour drive) away if they start me on medication to stop contractions. There is no NICU here so if I go before 36-37 weeks (depending on the doctors judgment) I will have to be flown down. Definitely hoping it does not come to that as I have anxiety issues and I feel that being away from home would make me get worse. Fortunately this extra medical attention will not be costing me money.

Nothing to report here, condition is about the same. My partner is going to work today and I am home resting. I promise to update if anything happens. The more I read the more reassured I am that this will be a slow process.

Fx they stay put for a while xx thinking of you hun xx

 

[GingerPanda]

Thinking of you, Dark Star, and hoping those boys stay put a little while longer!

 

[3boys]

Darkstar I hope they stay put another couple of wks.

Afm I'll definitely be induced at latest 14 September. Going for another growth scan on Monday and results of that could bring induction forward to 7th but I'm getting a concrete date next Wednesday. Can't believe he will be here so soon. Getting nervous.

 

[GingerPanda]

Oh my goodness, 3boys! So soon!

 

[MissR]

Wow everything is getting so exciting for everybody now!

I hope that your boys stay put a little longer for you dark star!

Is everybody prepared? I feel like if my LO was to come now, I wouldn't be at all ready! I'm 34 weeks tomorrow so need to get in the zone lol xx

 

[GingerPanda]

I don't feel ready at all! Her furniture is not ready, we don't have everything we need... And now my body feels like it's giving out. Last night was totally miserable.

I hope I have better luck with omeprazole than Zantac!

 

[Mississippi03]

I feel like i have nothing to do and everything to do all at the same time! Lol im nesting at work and preparing all of my what if i go off early stuff that needs to be done.. But havent been doing that at home lol
Although babies room is pretty well done.. I started hospital bag last night.. Should get dh to install the car seat.. Do some freezer cooking.. Things like that.

I am really feeling more pregnant now. Our stuff is mostly ready at home. We need to pack the bag still. I need to still make an appointment with the local police station for a car seat safety check. I need to order my breast pump through my insurance.

Work is the killer. I am doing a ton extra because or a coworker that apparently hasn't really done any work since she started in January. We are set to be audited soon so everything needs to be fixed. So that's overwhelming when I'm trying to get all my stuff sorted for maternity leave. It'sgetting hard to work . When I walk just a short distance I get stabbing pain in my cervix i swear he has moved way down. I wonder if they will check my cervix at my appointment next week.

 

[Dark_Star]

I hope I have better luck with omeprazole than Zantac!

GP I am on Pantoprazole which is the same type of drug, a proton pump inhibitor... I have had not a second of heartburn while I have been on it. It's wonderful! I was miserable even on 300mg Zantac.
