My water broke at 26 weeks, and me and my boyfriend have been sitting here for 3 days now. Our goal right now is for me to stay pregnant for 24 hours after this last steroid shot I got, and then after that we are going to try to make it to 28 weeks pregnant in the hospital, and then 32, and then the babies will be born via C section, but since my water is broken, and one of my twins is head down right on my bladder, she could come any second. They have me on lots of medication via IV to control my contractions and try to keep the baby inside me for as long as possible.

If I were to go into labor right now, the babies would be born via C Section and would be sitting in the NICU until their due date in March 8th. I’m trying my best to just think about the babies and do what I can to relax and stay calm so the can stay inside me. I truly don’t mind about all of the pain I’ve had the past few days. I’ve had contractions all day long, they haven’t been consistent which is good, I’ve been bleeding so I need to wear a pad, I’ve gotten 2 steroid shots, I get the babies monitored on my belly a few times a day,

but the worst part is the IV and the medications side effects. I am dizzy 24/7, have no sense of balance, and can’t walk on my own without almost tipping over. My veins have been impossible to find for the nurses so 2 of my veins have ruptured causing me to have a huge bruising. They had to put two IV’s in both of my hands for 2 days and finally last night they were just able to get one in my arm so I can finally use my hands to use my phone. Both of my hands were burning so terribly from the IV’s that it was just as painful as the contractions.

The medication makes me pee an unbelievable amount but my throat remains extremely dry. I’m hot one second and then the next i am freezing. Hospital food sucks and I can’t wait for us to get out of this delivery room and into our permanent room so my boyfriend can grab my PlayStation and I can distract myself with some sims or some overwatch! I just hope and pray that I don’t have to watch my babies from outside of a box for the next 4 months. And don’t even let me start to think about the hospital bill! 😪
