aw, glad to hear they are both moving and heartbeats are good

that little one is a fighter.

Part of me can understand that dr's have to prepare the patient for the worst but this is just wrong, you are well aware of what could happen but it's amazing what positivity can do. I used to live with a really negative outlook on everything and since I have been with my partner I have slowly changed and have achieved so much just by changing this outlook so I know that it makes a huge difference.

Please keep us updated x

Only 7weeks left!

Thankyou! Only 6 weeks and 5 days to go until 24 weeks now...

Been to see the consultant and had a scan today. No real change, both twns still fine, and some fluid around twin 1 (the one with the ruptured membrane) although not much at all, just some smallish pools. Still, better than no fluid! Twin 2 is fine and very wriggly.

We did ask the sex, but they were in an awkward position, so he couldn't see. Twin 1 is head down and twin 2 is currently bum down.

I do have a low lying anterior placenta, although I am not too worried about that, as although there probably isn't time for it to move up (although there could be!) before I deliver, the consulant thought it would reduce the risk of a prolapsed cord, which is a big risk with prematurely ruptured membranes and would mean the baby would die.

My CRP levels are down a bit again, although still 21, when they should be under 10, but the consultant sys he isn't worried as they are staying around the same level and the worry would be if they suddenly started to really rise.

Consultant was the most positive person I have seen so far, and said 'so far so good', which was great! Clearly my babies are as stubborn as their Mother, I am determined to prove all those negative medical staff wrong, and it seems so are they/

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.

Hi Midori, have been reading through this and had to borrow my friend's account to reply to you, I went through exactly what you are going through while I was pregnant with my twin boys and they are now healthy, lively 6 years olds, which i delivered via an uncomplicated natural birth at 37 weeks. I hope everything works out well for you and your family and hopefully this little bit of information brings you hope and makes you feel better.
Blessed Be xx
