When I first knew that I carry my twins, I was so worried when the doctors told me that they would arrive much earlier than expected. My first child was monitored closely towards the end of my pregnancy. Before reaching 37weeks, she was induced due to low amniotic fluid and born as an IUGR baby. Born only at 2.2kg, she developed some infection and had to stay in the NICU for one whole week. It has been traumatic for me, and I believe for her as well.
For the twins, I was advise to take some medication and injection by my private gynae to prevent problems from arising in case I deliver early again. Thankfully with some support and guidance from friends, I had to keep telling myself (and the babies) that I could bring them near to term naturally, and here I am in my 37th week, without any medication assistance!
Boys, congrats to yourself and thanks for helping Mummy too!
