Stress

Our littlest lady has stopped growing and only has enough blood going in to keep the brain and the heart going. Her diastolic end flow has stopped and she has IUGR, interuterine growth restriction. The other two wee mees who all the consultants were worried would get twin twin transfusion syndrome are all well and good and developing nicely. But the little one is struggling.

None of the babies are completely without hope even if they came today but they will struggle at 28 weeks especially D who is 2 weeks smaller than she should be and would need a lot of help breathing.

The neonatal consultant came to see me and Richard to discuss worst case scenarios if they survive on Friday and Richard found it very hard because he'd got in his head that when they were born all the worry would be over and of course being so prem that is the start of it.

So I have fingers toes and legs crossed to keep them all in for I hope a couple more weeks if D doesn't deteriorate further, and they dont try to escape (they have been spotted on scan turning their little heads to make a bid for freedom, Im only surprised they have rooom to move) otherwise it'll be an emergency C section.

I am very hopeful for them all :-)
I am just about managing gestational diabetes, and lying around doing very little back in bed 11c since Wednesday night, so they shouldn't feel compelled to make an early entrance. :-)
