Update!!!!!

Hey here is an update as I haven't updated
in a long while... I am currently on bed
rest as I have high blood pressure and its
not going down... Ive been on bed rest
since I was 21 weeks and I am now 22wks
and 5 days and I have 2 stay on bed rest
till I am 24 weeks. On the 5th december I
had a fall and I landed on my back badly
and I got rushed to hospital because I
couldn't move and I just wanted to make
sure the girls were ok. And they found
out I had a crack in the bottom of my
spine. I was in intensive care for 2 days
and then on maternity for 2 days. They
sent me home this afternoon and said I
have to be on bed rest for the next 2
months or so.. Which wud take me up to
5th feb 2007 when I have to go back to see
the doc bout my back to see if its healed
or not. And ill be 31 weeks. I went to
the doctor last week and he said the girls
are growing well which is great... And
hes shedualed me in for a c-section on the
5th of march... Ill be 35 weeks when I
have the girls.. I'm so scared now cos I
don't know if there lungs will be fully
developed or not.. And I was so hoping
for a normal delivery because I didn't
want to be laid up in bed for 2 weeks.

Why would they schedule your c-section for
35weeks? That's just retarded.

sorry but that whole post fails to make
sense.
So are you on bed rest until 24 weeks (3
weeks) or until 31 weeks (about 2 months)
and you've got a doc who schedules
c-sections 3 months in advance???  which would result
in premature babies? Hmmm
true multiples are often born early but
unless there is a medical condition at the
time of the c-section no doc would plan it
for the babies to be premature.
After you might have a perfectly healthy
pregnancy that safely goes to term - you
just can't tell at this stage.

I am on bed rest till 24 weeks for my high
blood pressure
then i'm also on bed rest for a further 2
months or so for my back til 31 weeks.
There is actually a problem with the twins
they both have water on the brain which I
have also... I was born at 35 weeks by
c-section and I had an operation after I
was born. And the twins will have an
operation after they are born so that is
why i'm having them at 35 wks.

I don't understand how having them 5 weeks
early will be good for them. Why not wait
another 37 weeks til you are full term?
They are delicate enough with water on the
brain, surely being born 5 weeks early
will jeopardise them further?

is this condition hereditary? Do you
know a lot about it because you suffered
from it?

for the safety of the mother/twins they
will usually be born by c-section 34-36
weeks when there is complication. Having
water in the brain isnt a bad thing if it
is drained but too much water/pressure can
be fatal.
Im assuming the dr doesnt want you moving
for the fact it may put stress on you or
the twins well good luck honey you have
got a hard road ahead of you!

Its not defnitely hereditary but it can be
and in my case it is... Draining water on
the brain at one time is not the case..
They have to put a shunt in the brain and
then a tube that leads to the stomach so
that water is drained naturally... The
shunt and tube is kept in for their whole
lives and will be changed when they are
between 6-10 depending on how tall they
are.
If I have them any later the pressure from
the water on their brains could cause
fatal damage. So that is why they are
being born at 35 weeks when their lungs
are matured enough. For them to be able
to be operated on.

well at least you are armed with knowledge
about it all. Best of luck to you - it
must be tough being on bedrest. Nice in
some ways of course but frustrating i'm
sure!

Actually I wasn't on bed rest when I
fell... I had to go to the hospital for a
check up and I was on my way home when I
fell.

Hey here is my xmas update... The last
time I updated was the 26/12/06 and its
now 02/01/07... I had a great xmas the
girls kept me up alot of the time with
their constant kicking and now its
punching aswell... Which I just love...
I got loads of xmas presents for me and
some for the girls which I wasn't
expecting at all... But it does help cos
I have to start plainng to get things
ready as its only another 8 weeks and 6
days to go till I have them... I'm 26wks
2day. I went away for a few days for the
new yr... It was really good to get
away... My family and a few friends have
arganised a baby shower for me on the 27th
jan i'm so excited about that...
Hopefully ill get most of the stuff that I
still need.. Im planning of trying to
finish the nursery this week as I go back
to college on the 8th. And I won't have
time or the engry to do anything after I
go back to college.
My ex is still being a health questions
which is really annoying me... Even
though I have another bf who I love I
still love my ex.. I don't know y I love
him but I do.... I know its rong to love
him but I just can't seem to get him out
my head..All ive done is think about him
all day every day since the 21/12/06...
Everytime I try and talk to him I just
want to cry. Ive thought about telling
him how I feel but i'm just scared that
ill get hurt and I don't want that. I
hate loving 2 people I just which I could
stop loving my ex. He still hasn't asked
how the twins are and that really hurts..
I'm also scared that the girls will look
more like my ex than me and I duno if I
can cope with looking at them everyday and
wishing things could of been different.
He hasn't bought a single thing for the
girls or been to any of my scans.. So he
doesn't care about them. We used to
actually get on when we first split up and
then there was the whole thing about us
still having sex but then I ut a stop to
that in november and ever since then he
has been *****ing about me to his mates
and giving me dirty looks when he sees me
and ignoring me. So I was thinking he
hates the idea of us not having sex
anymore. He has even told his mates that
hes not the father and that I was sleeping
with another guy. Anyway thats enough of
rambling on about that. Hope u all had a
gr8 xmas and new year!

My oldest child looks a lot like my ex.
But I just think that I got the best part
of him because if him and I hadnt of made
love them I would of never of had my
beautiful child. Just look at it that way
hun and like they say time will eventually
heal the heart. Best of luck to you.
