After 1 year of infertility treatments,
I was pregnant with triplets. At 8
weeks, one of the heart beats stopped
and i was left with a twin pregnancy.
During this time, I started spotting
only to find out I had a hematoma(blood
clot) between twin a and twin b's sac.
I was on house bedrest until about 12
weeks. At 14 weeks, I was in bed again
because I felt fullness in my belly and
my perinatologist told me to go to bed,
that evening as I sat up in bed, my
water broke. I found out 4 days later
that prom had in fact occured on twin a.
I made it to 26 weeks at home on
complete bedrest except for 2 showers a
week and a weekly ob visit. At 26 weeks
I was put in the hospital because it
appeared that twin b's heart had fluid
around it. Twin b's heart was fine, but
i began leaking fluid (up until this
point i never leaked fluid since the
rupture) I held off delivery until 28
weeks and 5 days, delivered vaginally
and both boys at 2lbs each were born.
They spent 3 months in the nicu and
preemie nursery. Twin a (Matthew) had
dislocated hips and tibial torsion as a
result of the prom, but they will be 5
in october and are my perfect boys I
prayed so dearly for. They are a little
small, but no lasting effects and their
teachers at school say they are above
average. Have faith in God and stay in
bed!!!!
