aiimee12345, sorry I didn't respond to your post before, it was quite hard to reply at all from the hospital. How did your scan go? I hope everything is well with your baby.

I am back at home now. I have to go to my local maternity unit three times a week to have bloods, urine etc done to check for infection levels, and see my consultant there once a week too. Then, if I make it to 20 weeks, I will be re-admitted.

I have had another scan today and although the doctor who did it was worse than useless and had an attitude problem, both babies are still OK. Twin 1 (the one with the ruptured membrane) still has a hearbeat and it seems is able to move a little also. Twin 2 is doing great and a right little wriggler!

I am on antibiotics 4 times a day as the main risk to my babies now I am past the period where I am most likely to go into labour is infection, and from what I can gather, it is a huge risk. I am on complete bed rest except for hospital visits and doing what I can to help prevent nfection such as using anti bacterial wipes after toileting, drinking lots of water and trying to eat as healthily as I can. I am also having those 'friendly bacteria' yoghurt drinks as apparently the bacteria in them is the same as the good bacteria in the vagina. Not sure if it will make any difference, but it's worth a try at least!

Statistically I know my babies don't have much of a chance, but survival rates aren't so low that it would be a miralce if my babies survied. My consultant was very honest and said I would be lucky to come out of this with one twin, exceptionally lucky to end up with two. He did also say thought that he has never dealt with a rupture this early, but has had two ladies, one with ruptured membranes at 17 weeks, the other at 19 weeks, both of whom took live and healthy babies home.

24 weeks is the magic number, when my babies will be considered viable and can be delivered, but I am hoping I can maybe hold onto them a bit longer than that. This is going to be the longest 9 weeks of my entire life! I am 15 + 2 today, and counting...

Thanks so much for all the support, it helps a surpisingly huge amount.
