Identical Twins

[skyesmom]

i agree with SucreK! call your doctor or midwife tomorrow, say you've been diagnosed with momo twins at 13 weeks but haven't heard any follow up on that so far and demand another scan to check if the membrane can be seen now!

i am also sure it will all go fine and that you have the mo-dis in there!

I'm waiting to see my OB now, hopefully she will refer me to a high risk doctor. Bee have 1 in town

Great! I was praying they would send you to someone.

 

[TonyaG]

Thanks for the support. My OB is referring me to a woman's hospital downtown Toronto (our closest big city) and confirmed I will be off work at 24 weeks. Daily monitoring of not inpatient treatment and delivery between 32-33 weeks.

We saw the high risk doctor on Thursday. Our ultrasound went well everything looked fine with both babies.
We found out we are having 2 little girls!

We were given the option of inpatient or outpatient monitoring. And we need to decide when we want to start. Once they start monitoring us they will deliver, if we choose too early the babies could have severe health issues. If we choose to late they may not make it at all if there is a problem.

Delivery if no problems will be by c-section at 32.5 weeks.

Wow! How exciting! Two little princesses! Get ready for the girly fun!

Thanks for the update!

Congrats on the little girls, so sorry about the complications but having twins is such a blessing and before you know it they will be running around!

Hoping all goes well and they stay put and healthy till 32.5! It's stressful enough without added extras is July 13th your 40wk due date or 32.5? Just out of curiosity, only I'm due with mo/di girls 2nd July (40wks) but will deliver at 37 latest

 

[TonyaG]

Thank you!
July 13 is my 40w due date, I'm looking at May fr actual delivery...seems so soon!
Good luck with your twins

I just delivered triplets w modi identicals, but now that I see all three girls I wonder if the third isn't also identical. No identifying marks except opposite cowlicks! Yikes. I'm a little afraid of keeping them apart. I went 33+4 and only delivered bc of preeclampsia. Babies wanted to stay in there. Be prepared for contractions to start early and last. Mine started at 22 weeks, 5-8 min apart and stayed until I delivered.

Also, keep an eye out for twin to twin. We were diagnosed at 17 weeks, and it resolved itself by 19. It's dangerous and comes on fast. Research it now so you know it if you have it.

 

[Laura2806]

May will be here before you know it! I'm looking at first couple weeks June unless the girls have other ideas!

Be ready for babies to arrive anywhere from 30 weeks! I now this is early, but i know lots of ladies who had there babies this early, often from one baby kicking the other and breaking waters! x

 

[TonyaG]

Wow triplets!!! How are you handling triplets?

I am keeping an open mind on the c-section date, I am praying for anything past 28 weeks since the positive outcomes go way up!

 

[Laura2806]

Wow I never even thought of that shells! Crazy really!

Tonya I'm hoping the same! After 28wks each day is a bonus! I've been told I'll be given steroid injections at 34wks to prepare them for early arrival! I think they'll arrive at 34wls though!

They are still in the NICU. I delivered 13 days ago and they are now 35+4. I have no idea how all three fit in me, as they were huge and I apparently was not (though I felt like it). I gad to stop working at 26 weeks. It gets hard bc your uterus stretches so quickly, and recovery is harder for the same reason.

Girls are doing well, though. Even if it's uncomfortable, you really want to keep them in until 32 weeks. It will save you a ton of issues after. Take it easy as soon as it starts to get hard. I only delivered bc of preeclampsia.

 

[Laura2806]

Glad your girls are doing well red! Hope they're home really soon!

 

[TonyaG]

That's so nice to hear that the girls are doing great!
I have another appointment today. Can't wait for the ultrasound

 

[Laura2806]

Hope the US went well hun I count down from one to the next haha 6 sleeps for me

 

[TonyaG]

The ultrasound was great
Both babies were very active and everything looked good.
2 weeks until the next one.

We saw a different doctor, and she agreeded I can do inpatient monitoring, she didn't press us to make a decision about when we wanted to start. She will have a pediatrician meet with us at our next visit to help us make that decision.

 

[Laura2806]

Good stuff Tonya! All sounding very good and I think meeting with a paediatrician will be really helpful
