help me please....33 weeks pregnant with twins

[Tasha]

I hate to put it like this and I know it is so very harsh but if you were to not take the drugs and one or both of your boys didn't make or they were left with long term complications because of being born early would you be able to live with the decision? I know that is a horrible, horrible way to look at things but I know I couldn't.

In fact my waters broke at 28+6 with one of my babies, she stayed inside me for a further 8 weeks, whilst this isnt the same it did affect my whole life, I was virtually a recluse apart from hospital visits because I couldnt go out without my clothes being soaked by my waters, but the 8 weeks were worth it to give her the best chance possible. I believe twin pregnancy are full term at 36 weeks, that is just 3 weeks away.

I think a good chat with your consultant is the best option

I would do anything to be in your situation...If i was, as hard as it is, i'd definitley keep my babies there as long as possible. My twin boys died at 4 month of pregnancy, and if i could have saved them, i for sure would have. Twins are usually always a little behind compared to a singleton baby. If your medication is making you feel ill, i would contact the hospital as they may be able to change it to something else which makes it easier on you. Goodluck hun xxx

And to you too Sb22

Thank you chick. I'm not saying people have it harder than anything else, but I would endure so much pain if it meant Alex was born at 35+.

I have no problem taking the drugs, they just had a really bad effect on me and my boys weren't acting normal...I went back into labor and delivery again today (this is the 3rd time since wed) and they had to stop labor again. This timw my doc put me on a different drug. The one I was getting before was for asthma patients and one of the side effects is it relaxes smooth muscle, so they give it to pregnant women to stop contractions. Well, now the meds they have me on are for people with high blood pressure, but again, a side effect is to relax smooth muscle. Problem is, I have low blood pressure....we will see what this med does to me...I do have an ultrasound tomorrow though so we will see how they are doing....

yea everyone says take them but sounds like they are not working and making you miserable.... keep working with the dr until you find something that works for you.... sometimes they have to try a few different medications out.

of course you gotta keep em in as long as you can. the weights they are right now could be safe, but also could not be safe...especially if they aren't quite 4lbs. i was 4.5 lbs when i was born and no complications... but that was a blessing, not a certainty.

i hope they find something that works for you. you poor thing!!! so much stress and discomfort.
good luck!
