My babies are coming within a week!

I'm XPing from PgAL... just thought I'd let you all know.

We just back from the MFM. The growth discordance between the twins is getting too big. Baby A is measuring 4lb 15oz with his stomach in the <2 percentile (from <5 at 32 and 34 weeks and the 27th percentile at 28 weeks) and Baby B is measuring 6lb 11oz. The MFM said I definitely won't be seeing 37 weeks.. he said they need to be here definitely by Wednesday or Thursday. I see my OB on Monday and we will schedule the date. The MFM said my OB will also discuss induction vs. c-section. They are both head down but because Baby B is so much bigger, he thinks the labor will be difficult because the smaller baby will come out first and then I'll have to labor harder to get the bigger baby out (they typically like the bigger baby to be first and the difference between mine is so big). I'm disappointed that I won't make it to full-term but I know that it's safest for them to come out early. I can't wait to meet them but I feel like I sort of have a mental block. We have been trying and waiting for this for so long and it's always been so far away that I don't feel like it's real that I will be having them next week!

Re: My babies are coming within a week!

  • Those both look like pretty good weights to me, considering twins especially!  Hope it all goes smoothly for you!
  • That's so exciting, scary and amazing all at once. I hope everything goes smoothly and you have two healthy boys to hold soon.
  • It will be here before you know it. Get ready mama!
  • That's so exciting!!  Good luck.
  • EEEEK!!!  Pick Wednesday and our twins can be birthday twins!!!!  :-)  Nov 2nd is a great birthday!!  So glad you made it this far and hoping the delivery and recovery goes smoothly!!!  We'll definitely have to get together this summer when I'll be down in NJ for awhile!

  • Oh my goodness! I can't even imagine the emotions you are feeling. Wishing you the very best and two healthy babies that get to come home with you. :) Enjoy your last weekend baby-free (as much as you can at 36w pregnant with twins)! ;)
  • How exciting Colleen! Praying all goes well with your labor and delivery!! Can't wait to meet the twins!
  • Good luck! I can't wait to hear that you have healthy babes in your arms after so long. Do you have a labor buddy who can keep us posted?

    Does growth discordance happen with fraternal twins, too? Or is that an identical thing? If so... I didn't realize your boys were ID! How fun. 

    Savor the quiet in your house this weekend. It will change all too quickly! :)

    It can happen with fraternals as well, and her boys are fraternal (I am pretty sure, anyway).  One can have issues with its cord, one of the placentas can start to break down, etc.

    I don't have a labor buddy. I have Ranger's number if she'd be willing to update for me... otherwise any takers?

    I'd be willing to update, but I won't be able to get online during the day until 3pm since I can't use the computer in my classroom with the kids there!!

    This. My boys are fraternal. Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome can only happen with IDs  but a growth discordance can happen with fraternals. They think that Baby A's placenta is not functioning optimally.

    Gotcha. I thought TTTTS and growth discordance were the same thing, so I was a little confused--since I didn't think your boys were ID. 

    Again, good luck, I'm sure everything will turn out great! 

  • How exciting Colleen!! Good luck!
