Sorry for not updating, have been exhausted.
For those who don't already know, I was in hospital last week with a blood clot in my lung. Luckily all seems Ok and I am now on Clexane injections twice a day to prevent further blood clots. Fun! I also had an infection that could bring on labour, but have had antibiotics, so hopefully it has cleared up.
I am 22+3 today. Less than 2 weeks until 24, although they have said now that they will assess the babies for resus after 23 weeks, although there is only a tiny survival rate at that gestation and a lot of associated problems.
I had an consultant appointment yesterday. All seems well, twin 1 is actually slightly bigger than twin 2 now, which is a good sign, although obviously we still don't know about lung development and won't know until they are born. Both were moving, which is also good and there was a small pocket of fluid by twin 1's face and one by his/her bum. Twin 1 was measuring in at approx. 499g and twin 2 at around 476g, (1lb 1 oz and 1lb 2oz roughly) both good as they need to be over 500g at birth really, whatever the gestation.
Typically, I now have a toothache, which is nightmarish as I am terribly phobic of dentists. Still, as long as it doesn't affect the twins (which it won't!) I can cope with it.
I am really hoping I can hang on that two mnore weeks! Well, 11 days... We have chosen names now, Jacob and Isaac for boys and Megan and Imogen for girls. Megan means 'strong' so is especially appropriate for twin 1.
for mum, though, I know you must be exhausted with worry.
