The only thing we are now watching is the fluid around the babies. It seems that I have a little too much. Sometimes it can correct itself, sometimes it doesn't cause any problems, and sometimes it can send you into pre-term labor as it makes your uterus think it's big enough and it's time for the babies to be born especially with twins when it is already big with two. The specialists answer is if it becomes a problem - just take a little fluid out with an amnio needle. I'm sure you can all now picture me freaking out! This of course is my worst nightmare as the last amnio I had was with Justin and sent us straight into an emergency c-section. But... as a friend pointed out if it's time to take out fluid it means the babies are in danger of preterm labor so if I do it it might buy us some time to keep them baking and we could end up with no NICU time and if I don't it's definite NICU time as they will come on their own. So, looking at it that way I guess it's best to let them stick the hugest needle ever into my belly! The good thing is that both cords are under the babies so they won't nic them going in and the specialist said that if he hits an arm they will just say ouch and move - they will get worse needle pricks when they are born (that was him lightening the mood and trying to be funny.) So we are praying for the fluid to correct itself and for these littFle babes to keep growing and developing on tract and for their birthday to not take place until between 36 and 37 weeks!
