Best of luck! As hard as it sounds to stay in that bed, relish in it. It truly will be the last days for you to lie around for a long while. So enjoy it! My husband says he'd have done more and gone more places before we had kids if he'd have known what it was really going to be like. I say: I'd have slept, stayed in pjs, and had more movie days in bed! Take care of yourself and those babies.

Thank you. My official due date is February 14 - but because of it being twins the latest they would let me go would be 37 weeks, so the end of January. I am 21.4 weeks now - 24 weeks is considered viability week for twins, with a 50-50 survival rate, so that's what the seroid shots are for - to mature the lungs in case they have to be born that early.

OMG, I just read this. I know how hard you & hubby tried for these babies and how much you already love them. Listen to the doctor - don't be stubborn, trying to do things you shouldn't do. I can only imagine how hard it must seem to be told that you need to be on bedrest but look at how many people do it and have healthy babies. Catch up on some magazines/books, post on the forums all day, talk to friends/family on the phone that you've been meaning to catch up with. Time seems to get away from us and most of us can never seem to find the time to just relax. Well, now's that time for you.

If you need anything at all, please call me. I'm here for you. We've been eachother's prego support buddies and I'm still here. Remember, don't be stubborn! :huggy:

What love is all about
I just stumbled across this. Thanks to whoever brought it forth. I am so sorry to hear what all you are going through. I am sure it is tough. My second little one I started having contractions at 22 weeks I believe and she made it to 36 weeks. Just hang in there and make sure you listen to the doctors orders. My thoughts and prayers are with you and those babies. I know you dont know me but if you need anything I will try to help the best I can if you need it just let me know.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. It means so much more than you'll ever know. For now I'm holding steady - the contractions seem to have decreased tremendously as I got the terb pump on Thursday afternoon. This is a nasty little thing for sure!!! My family has been great about helping the best they can - which also means so much. I am usually a very pride-ful (is that a word??) and it's been hard for me to swallow in asking for so much help - but I know it's all worth it. I will certainly have a lot of favors to repay!!

Thanks all, again!

You will be ok. Remember multiple births are always high risk. Don't stress about ANYTHING. And let everyone help! Get used to it!
I had twins almost 22 years ago. (they'll be 22 dec 3) I was a high risk pregnancy from the get go. Even before we found out at 8 weeks that there was two. I had been a fertility patient for 10 years and was told I would never have children. No reason why found, I was just in that 20% catagory of women who would never give birth. I was put on bed rest at 26 weeks, so your not far off that mark. My son's were due Dec 12th and when they were born by c section they were considered full term. (Had to have scheduled c section as one was transverse and the other in the canal. And it was my dr's first set of twins to deliver so he wasn't taking any chances!:lmao:)

I don't know if there is a mom of multiples club close to you, but if there is definitely join it! I belonged to the group in Va. Beach, and the support you get is awesome. It's also usually a night out alone too! Clothing sales and trades can't be beat either!

Good luck!:huggy:
