19 weeks-Good News!!!!

Well I went to my first Perinatolist appt today and they found the separating membrane. Dr. Robert Atlas, he is suppose to be very good and is very well known in his field (google and word of mouth), I am so happy now I dont have to worry about them being strangled or dying from cord compression in utero. I am so thankful because I have been praying hard for them and I will continue until I have them in my arms healthy and safe. They are sharing the same placenta which still has risks. But atleast instead of a 50% chance of survival it is now 85%. They are at risk for TTTS or Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome, meaning that one twin can take all the nutrients from the other twin. One twin can get really large and the other one could be really small. My Dr told me not to worry because right now they are exactly the same size and that the cords are right in the middle of the placenta. Normally when the cords are in the middle there is a very low chance of TTTS. They normally only worry when one or both of the cords are on the outter edge of the placenta and when there starts to be a 25% weight difference between the babies. He told me not to worry but then he went on to tell me that the onset of TTTS can be very rapid and happen at anytime in the pregnancy....I thought he said not to worry...but technology is really advanced nowadays and there are plenty of things that they can do to control it until they can take them out, but I'm not worried about it.

Baby A-->London has a white dot on her heart, there is a very long term for it but they call it EFI for short. Its common in babies with down syndrome but healthy babies sometimes get it also, for a reason they dont know, it doesnt hurt anything, it just something thats there. He said that he sees the white spot probably 5 times a day. My down syndrome test came back negative anyway so Im not worried. He said that they did a studdy on like 500 babies with the white spot and they all came out normal. Otherwise London was very cooperative today.

Baby B-->Sydney had no issues but was very uncooperative today which is odd because she is normally the good one.
I have to see the High risk Dr and have an ultrasound done every 3 weeks on top of seeing my regular OB/GYN every 2 weeks, I'll do whatever they tell me to, I dont care as long as the girls are okay.

I Love You London Earlene and Sydney Darlene Boone :-)
