Here are their weights:
Baby A: 700gms (1lb 8oz)
Baby B: 684gms (1lb 8oz))
Baby C:790gms (1lb 11oz)
I'm quite sure that Baby B was Baby C and vice versa, but the scan was done by the other FM Specialist since mine was out of the country. I'm just glad that she made time to give me a scan today!
I was a bit worried about the differences between baby B and baby C's weight, but the FM Specialist said this was okay.
My cervix is still at 3.5cm! Woo hoo! They were going to give me daily progesterone pessaries if my cervix was shortening. I had to insert one of those down there every day for several weeks during my earlier days threatened miscarriage so I'm glad I don't need them right now.
Right now they feel so heavy! Yet, I'm hoping that they will surpass double of their current weight before they come out.
I shared my threatened pre-term labor scare to the ladies on the forum and I was really comforted when one of the triplet mothers replied (she has 3 mth old triplets delivered at 35 weeks 3 days):
I was hospitalized for 5 days for monitoring at 24 wks but went on to carry for 35 wks. I was told the goal was to make it 28 wks, then 29, 30, etc.
I took nifedipine from then until the day before the delivery. I had steroid shots then and again at 28 wks because of a positive FFN test. I thankfully avoided magnesium.
It was always hard to tell the diff between contractions and movement. I was always asked if I'd been feeling contractions and my answer was "I don't know."
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that it's certainly possible to carry to 35 wks given what you just went thru. But, make it a short-term goal to reach 28 and every wk after that is a bonus.I still have mild contractions and I'm hoping that they don't become more regular. Apart from that, and the increasing discomfort, I'm hanging in there :)
Impressive stuff here. The information and the aspect were just wonderful. I think that your viewpoint is deep, it’s just well thought out and truly incredible to see someone who knows how to put these thoughts so well. Good job!
