My babies were born at 29 weeks about 10 days ago, and sadly twin 1 did not survive. Unsurprisingly we are really anxious for twin 2 to do well.
Twin 2 is in NICU at the moment doing brilliantly. She does not require any breathing support, takes all her feeds from mum's milk and the only permanent line she has at the moment is the nasal gastric tube. She does have a few episodes of 'forgetting to breathe' but she corrects this herself.
So, naturally, the medical staff have started to prepare us for the fact that she may be moved to either the high dependency or the SCBU soon. We, on the other hand, are very much Not Keen. The ratio of nurses to babies is a lot higher on the other wards and we are dead scared the hospital will do another fuck up (excuse my French) and lose another one of our babies. I know we are totally being anxious parents, but, let's face it, we have good reason to be!
If she moves to SCBU I feel an all night vigil coming on.
Does anyone have any experience with this/advice to share?
