Hi ,am not really sure i want to post this or think about this, but its been on my mind for a few weeks.
I have 25 wk twin girls, Twin 2 is really strong on her legs, and try to stand, holds on to her toes etc, twin 1 however, the biiger twin isn't really weight bearing much is comparison, she'll wiggle them a bit, but isn't anywhere near as strong. The thing that worries me especially is in the bath, they go in those support seats where they lie down, Twin 2 splashes away with gusto, Twin 1 just pull her legs up and gets quite rigid, only in this past few weeks has she actiually tolerated the bath at all, befor that would scream blue murder, so perhaps is tense. I am really worried about Cerebal Palsey?? my friends little boy, now 8 has it, and she talks about muscle tone a lot!! Twin 1 was born with a very serious heart condition TGA - tranposition of the great vessels, where her two main arteries were the wrong way round, she had surgery at 12 hrs and 1 week old, and was in hospital for 3 wks, so am always watching out for signs of anything being wrong with her.
This is the worst bit about having twins!!! - comparing them constantly. Have consultant appt 7th Jan so will ask then. Too scared to google!!
Sorry for the waffle
