Twins born at 34 weeks!? **

Question

Hello to all the twin Moms who have already delivered! If there is anyone still active on the app that can share their experiences with me - I would greatly appreciate it! So, I am currently in the hospital on bed rest and due to my contractions and a little restriction in Twin Bs cord flow - my doctor will likely be delivering my babies this week 😬😬 I really wanted to go much further but can appreciate how far along we are! They both are doing great ... just wanted to see if anyone has a c-section/nicu experience for twins born in the 34th week?

Thank you all! Excited, nervous and anxious Mom here! 💙💗

Answer

My triplets were born at 32.6 weighting 2.14 3.13 and 3.13. Sophia baby b was in the nicu for 2 1/2 weeks,  Sarah baby c was in the nicu for almost 4 weeks b/c of bradys and baby c Ethan was in the nicu for 5 weeks and 2 days. My experience with the nicu was great. The nurses were very helpful and supported. Good luck.

Answer

My twins were taken emergency c-section at 32+4 while I was being monitored in hospital. They were concerned about baby A's blood flow and he ended up failing a movement test so they had to take them right away. I had been able to get both rounds of steroid shots which was a huge blessing! They only were on c-pap for one day and then breathed just fine on their own after that. The bigger twin was in NICU for 4 weeks and the other smaller just shy of 5 weeks. They needed to gain weight and learn how to feed etc. Being a "NICU" mom is hard for Various reasons but in the end I'm so grateful to God for amazing nurses and Drs who took good care of us until we could take our babies home. It also gave me a chance to adjust to being a twin mommy "slowly" as you basically have 24hr babysitters to help you 😊 At 34 weeks I think if you have to have any NICU time at all it will likely be way shorter if any at all. 👍🏼  They had told me originally if I could make it to 34 weeks it makes all the difference. God bless mama! Hope all goes well & smoothly!

Answer

I had my twins at 34 wks exactly! Baby A was 4.10 and baby B was 4.14. They stayed in the nicu for 4 wks and 3 days. It was honestly super hard! The nicu was an hour and a half from my house and they wanted me to stay in a Ronald McDonald house near the hospital. I actually slept at the hospital a few times. But went home the rest. I know they're doing what's best for your babies, but it's really hard being told when you can hold them and feed them, and all the other rules that come along with nicu stays. If anything... I think the nicu made them better sleepers. So that's one positive😜

Answer

My modi boys were born at 33+3 and weighed 4.8 and 5.8. I had rounds of steroid shots at 29 weeks and right before I delivered. They required no oxygen or breathing assistance when born, but did have blood sugar issues. They spent 4 and 5 weeks in nicu due to feeding difficulties. My friend from high school had her twins a week after me at 34 weeks gestation and hers spent about 2 weeks in the nicu. I think hers were very similar in weight to mine. She had no steroid shots and her babies did require some breathing assistance. Good luck mama! Making it to 34 weeks is a fabulous accomplishment!!

Answer

Had my di/di boys at 34w4d and baby B was IUGR so he was small. A was 4lb5oz and B 3lb5oz. 24 day nicu stay with no issues, just learning how to eat and grow. It seemed like eternity at the time but they are 2 and it's a blip on the radar. Now preg with mo/di and they are suspecting 34-36 week delivery again.

Answer

Sorry, I'm behind you in my pregnancy.  But am in the same boat with restricted blood flow with baby B every MFM visit I go to the doctor says "this week we are ok but may deliver next week."  I keep asking him if bedrest will help and he doesn't seem to think so.  Also baby b has IUGR.  She hasn't stopped growing all together...but definitely on the very small side.
