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..

midori I've been lurking on your thread for weeks and just wanted to wish you the very best of luck. I'm just willing those babies to stay put.

All the best, well done for hanging in and thank you for updating so often

StrictlyKatty · 30/04/2010 18:13

Come on twins you can do it! They have done so well to hang on in there and you have done so well to keep them in Midori.

I'm really praying they are both ok.

Had my twin girls
For those who have been following my other thread...

I started showing signs of infection early this morning and went into labour. Megan was born at 2pm. There was a lot of puss around her when she was born from the infection. They did try and resuscitate her but she wasn't strong enough and as she didn't respond after oxygen and surfectants we decided to let her go. She never really breathed on her own and died very quickly and peacefully in my arms. She is in our room tonight in a tiny cot.

Twin 2, imogen, was born at 2.11pm. She was whisked off into another room to be resuscitated and had already gone up to nicu before they'd finished working on megan. Imogen is 574g. It's early days and she is ventilated but on 21% oxygen, which is air, so encouraging. She's by no means out of the woods, her lungs are very immature, but a scan showed no brain bleeds as of yet. If she can make it past the next 72 hours, that's a good sign, but it's an hour at a time for now. The doctors have been quite negative about her chances, but hey, we're used to their doom and gloom now and are staying hopeful.

Thanks so much to everyone who has given their support over the last weeks.

Oh midori, I've been following your thread.

Congratulations on the birth of Megan and Imogen.

I'm so, so sorry you've lost Megan. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Praying for Imogen. Be strong wee girl.

Decaff · 30/04/2010 22:39

Midori i can't believe that you managed to hang on so long to your girls. It's been an amazing battle of wills from you all. I'm so, so sorry for the loss of Megan and I am sending all my good wishes and prayers for little Imogen.

rlp · 30/04/2010 22:45

You are an inspiration as you have stayed so strong. I am glad to hear that you are being given a proper chance to hold Megan and grieve properly for her. You know you did all that you possibly could.
I am praying that Imogen survives, I think she has already proved to be a fighter.

smallishsheep · 30/04/2010 22:46

So sorry
Thanks for keeping us updated so soon after what must have been a traumatic labour.
Mumsnet can be great but don't forget

There are other life lines out there.

I hope you'll have access to all the help you need.

jurisfictionoperative · 30/04/2010 23:22

Oh Midori.
My heart is breaking for you, your partner and poor megan. I am so glad that you still have Imogen, and am praying for her and all of you. You have been so strong and brave through the weeks, and an inspiration to everyone. Thank you for coming and updating the thread, it must have taken a lot for you to do it. In the days to come, remember that we are all thinking of you and sending you our best wishes. Keep strong.

weblette · 30/04/2010 23:26

Oh Midori, your beautiful girls have been such amazing fighters. They have overcome such terrible odds to get to here.

I'm so sorry that you have lost Megan, hoping beyond hope that Imogen pulls through the next 72 hours.

You really are an amazing woman Midori. I wish you and your family strength and love in the difficult days ahead.

liahgen66 · 30/04/2010 23:42

Oh midori, Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful little girls, and so brave and strong of you to hold on long enough to meet them both properly.

I am so so very sorry that little Megan was too small for this world, I'm crying as i'm typing this for you. I'm so glad you are having some special time with her to make some memories and say hello and goodbye properly.

I will pray for little Imogen to stay strong and pull through particularly the next 72 hours or so. She is surrounded by the love of your family and the strength of her twin sister will be with her too.

Is there anything you and your partner need that any of us can get to you? Do you have enough family support?

Big hugs to you, take care of yourself and your partner too, men grieve in funny ways sometimes. xx

I don't feel like the words of a stranger can possibly mean anything at this time, but know that we are thinking about you, and praying for your tiny fighting girl.
