33 wks with fraternal twin girls!

Tiffany • Jayla & Jolene arrived at the end of August! We are all settling into our new crazy busy, but blessed life.
I'm 1cm dilated, both babies are head down & baby A's head is engaged deep enough to be felt by OB! Prayers for baby b, marginal cord insertion and OB is monitoring umbilical blood flow. Yes, I'm feeling very symptomatic. Yes, I'm on bedrest. But God has a plan and it's great! Growing from a family of 4 to 6 will be interesting. I just keep surrendering my anxious thoughts and worries over to the Lord. He's got this and will give us wisdom and insight.

How many weeks is your doctor expecting you to deliver at?

37 wks, but she is fine with delivering anytime. My hospital is a level III NICU, so the twins will be in good hands if they need it. Hopefully my body can hold out at least another 4 wks.

Your twin pregnacy was a lot like mine, I just had my boy/girl twins two weeks ago today. They were born at 33 weeks, both babies were head down, baby a's head as very low down, & I was 2 cm dilated. I was also on Bedrest do to premature labor at 28 weeks. Baby B had a marginal cord insertion, everything was going ok until 29 weeks on his cord blood flow started to be more high resistance, with absent flow at times. Then had reverse flow once, so they monitored it closely, it started to reverse again at 32 weeks. They decided to deliver the babies at 33 weeks, I was hoping to have a vaginal birth, but because of the cord they felt c section would be best, so I agreed. They were both just over 3 lbs. baby b being smaller than baby A. Their in the NICU which is also a level 111 NICU, & doing great. They were breathing on their own from the start thankfully, steroid shots they gave me while pregnant helped a lot. I hope you make it further, but either way your babies will do great I'm sure!! Goodluck to you & your babies!! 😃
