Kristen made it to a big milestone today for the twins. Today is 36 weeks, which is a big checkpoint/milestone for twin pregnancies. At this point, the twins will not be growing much more and the benefits of staying in start to outweigh the risks of carrying them longer. This is particularly true for us where the presenting baby (first one out) is breech. The chances of having a prolapsed cord are much higher if Kristen were to start active labor.
This morning, we had our 36 week checkup and both kiddos seem healthy and are practicing breathing, so Kristen is no longer taking medications that will prevent contractions. We are now home from the hospital and I am trying to work. We think that being off the medications will cause Kristen to have regular contractions which will send us back to the hospital today to have the babies via caesarean. We'll see and we'll try to keep people updated via the blog or facebook.
