321 replies

midori1999 · 27/02/2010 13:34

currently in hospiital as my waters broke at just under 15 weeks last night. it is a twin pregnancy and so far one twin seems ok, but the other twin has no anmiotic fluid and little movement but does have a heartbeat.

if anyone has any experience of this, good or bad, please post. i don't think the pprgnosis is good sadly.

thanks..

So sorry to hear about the loss of Megan, but am glad that you got to hold her. Am keeping everything crossed for Imogen (what beautiful names).

Be proud of yourself for how amazingly you have done - you have achieved such a wonderful thing, keeping your daughters safe for such a long time in such difficult circumstances.

With love. x

Oh midori I posted on your thread at the beginning, so so sorry Megan didn't make it, it's hard to bear when you've fought for her like you did. Hope you're getting support from Bliss with Imogen, praying she will do well.

lifeistooshort · 03/05/2010 15:34

Hi Midori. I have been following your thread too. I am so sorry that making wasn't able to stay with you and that you had to face the difficult decision/situation of letting her go.

Will say a lot of prayers for you and little Imogen and keep every thing I can crossed. You are being so brave little Imogen such a little fighter.

Take care

Hi Midori - congratulations on the birth of your twin girls. Am so very sorry Megan didn't make it but glad you were able to meet her and have her with you. That must have been extremely hard yet comforting too.
I have everything crossed for Imogen. When I gave birth to my premature baby (30 weeks gestation - also a result of PROM)I was enormously comforted by success stories posted around the NICU/SCBU with pictures of healthy little girls and boys who were once teeny babies in need of special care. I hope so much that your precious daughter will be one of those success stories. Thinking of you and your dp and of course little Imogen

I am so very sorry about Megan, my heart breaks for you. And, like everyone above, will keep Imogen in my thoughts and am willing her to get stronger every day.

Hi Midori, thinking of you at this difficult time. Keep up that fighting spirit you have had from the start xxxxx

mumtotwoboys · 07/05/2010 17:18

Wow very bitter sweet, what a thing to go through, I think you must have some amazing strengh in you.
Glad you got to hold Megan and be with her to try and grieve and perhaps deal with the situation better by spending time with her before she left for good, what a little angel.

And how is Imogen now? Still putting up a fight to stay? She must be incredibly small, I hope she can stay with you, but what will be will be. Life is harsh.

I agree you have done very well, and we are all supporting you and are here for you (virtually), and are thinking of you and sending our best wishes.
We think you are a brilliantly strong woman and mother.

Congratulations and condolences x

I'm devastated to say we lost Imogen at 5am on Sunday morning due to a huge pulmonary haemorrhage presumably down to her extreme prematurity. It was very quick and there was nothing she could do to fight that.

Amzingly, she had gained 130g in her time in NICU, when she should have really have lost around 10% of her bodyweight. It seemed her PDA had closed and she had come of insulin on Saturday and her blood sugar had remained stable. She was doing amazingly well and no-one could have precited what happened. She had been trying to open her little eyes all week long, and despite 26 week susually being the earliest, had managed to get one eye open fully and the other partially open in the hours before she died. She was so strong and so determined and such a little fighter. We are both so, so proud of her and can get some comfort from the fact she is now with her sister at least and she also died in our arms like Megan. I think she knew we were there with her, and she held on until we got there to be with her.

We will never forget our two gorgeous, wonderful little girls, or the time we did have with them. So many happy memories in such a short time. I miss then so very much, who'd have thought it possible to love anyone quite so much?

Friends and family have been so very wonderful and kind to us, bringing food parcels, dinners, flowers, cards and kind words.

Oh Midori! I wish I was better with words - I just can't express how sorry I am, and how impressive you have been. So much joy and sorrow.

ladylush · 11/05/2010 14:32

Oh no Midori I meant Imogen - so sorry for my faux pax - forgive me. So very sorry for your loss My heart goes out to you. I'm glad you have family and friends on board. It must give you some comfort at least that she will not be on her own but with her sister but terribly devastating at the same time.
