London Sydney
Okay I know Im posting late but Ive been so tired. I went to my regular appointment and the specialist and things are going really well. My babies are growing all they want. Tehy are both measuring 1lb 10oz's. They couldnt check the length because the girls dont have any space in there to stretch out. They are really squished in there. I cant see how they are going to be able to grow anymore, they still have 11 weeks left. I hope its not hurting them. My cervix is still getting shorter. Im at 3.9 right now. Below 3 is the danger zone. When they did the transvaginal ultrasound to see my cervix Londons big head was right there!!! Scary stuff...After I left the specialist, I went to see Dr. Julian. We started discussing delivery options:
1. I can try to deliver them both vaginal. Problem is after twin a is delivered it leaves alot of space and twin b has the space to flip breech or her cord can prolapse and then I would need a emergency c-section to get her out. Thats a double whammy. Hell NO!!!!!!
2. Elective C-section. Only problem they would have to put me under because I had spinal surgery, my spine is covered, they cant get the needle in my back and my Dr really doesnt want to put me under. Plus I am afraid of the recovery afterwards I still have the 3 boys to care for. Im also worried about pain. I dont want any morphine.
Also deliverying them vaginal can be life threatening for twin b because of the risk of acute ttts. Thats when the blood from twin a's cord gets squeezed into twin b's cord really fast and it can kill her. I dont know I want to try vaginal because it is easier to recover but i dont want to go through the pain of a natural childbirth only to have to get a c-section. **sigh** What to do? What to do?
I just want my baby girls here safe and sound.
