Hi there girls,

I am absolutely thrilled to announce the safe arrival of our beautiful and much loved twins this morning on Easter Sunday! Our daughter, Lily Rose, was born at 7:28am and our son, Lewis James, was born at 7:30am. Both babies weighing the exact same weight as each other at 5lbs 9oz. They are stunning :cloud9:

Both babies are in the Special Care Baby Unit right now - Lewis has fluid on his lungs and needs some assistance with his breathing and both babies are on IV fluid drips for glucose treatment as their blood sugars are on the low side. Completely normal apparently for most babies born before 37 weeks.

I have become very ill though with preeclampsia which has landed me in the high dependency care unit of the delivery area. My blood pressure is up at 155/95 and my body was convulsing periodically for hours. They have me on an IV fluid drip of magnesium for the next 48 hours to stop seizures, so I haven't seen much of my babies at all, other than a quick cuddle of Lily and a kiss on the head of Lewis which is pretty sad :nope: Hopefully babies will be out if the special care unit in the next 24 hours so they can room in with me, even if I need assistance to care for them from DH or my Mum.

Cannot believe I went into labour before my c-section! It's brilliant that the twins chose this birth date also. I was about 5cm dilated within 2 hours of going into labour, so they hurried me down to theatre. They had to do a c-section because one of Lily's leg's was actually in the birth canal with Lewis' head.

Sorry if this update is all over the place - I can barely put my thoughts together right now, and I feel really unwell, but I just wanted to share the lovely news that our precious twins are here and are, by all accounts, doing terrific xx :yipee:

Anyone else using EPO to help cervix ripen?

I will be from 38 weeks onwards. I've also been drinking rlt since 34 weeks.

Are you using orally or vaginally? I'm starting orally now and vaginally at 38

I'm planning on doing both, but as I don't want to risk delivering before April I'm waiting to start taking them.

They don't 'induce' you, they just help your cervix ripen when it's time!

Oh congrats honey!! Hopes for a speedy recovery for all!!

How awesome you went into labor on your own! And that's really neat they weighed the same!!
 
Congrats hun xx gorgous pic ope u recover fast !! Xx
 
Thank you everyone! It took me forever to find an outfit and at my shower/sprinkle my mom showed up with this one. The only problem? It was size 6 months! So naturally I hunted it down in a smaller size. :haha: I was determined!
-------------------------------------
Look at those babies!!!! Fantastic job Jonesbaby! They are gorgeous!
-------------------------------------
I'm starting epo vaginally within the next few days. It helped last time so might as well :)

Congratulations jonesbaby! They're both adorable! Cora-Lily had trouble keeping her sugars up too although thankfully not enough that she needed to be away from me. She was fine within 24 hours. I hope your babies are with you soon! Xx

I'm 39 weeks today too but not hopeful of not going over! I feel absolutely nothing at the moment barring maybe that baby is just starting to get ever so slightly lower.

I'm hoping to get through the week so husband can have a productive week at work (he's just started his own business) and son can get settled into his new nursery.

Starting to feel the nervousness creep in now.
 
Happy Easter ladies.

My 36 week bump

Not as big as I was with either of my other girls I don't think!

Just finished my last shift at work too this evening :)
