Non Stress Test November 18, 2007
Todays test was alot longer then yesterdays. We were at the hospital for about 3 hours today. The babies took awhile to get a reaction from them once the nurse was able to find their heartbeats, not very cooperative today. But she finally got them thank goodness. My BP was good and no protein in my urine today. The nurse called the midwife from the OB office to come in and look at my reports from today. Said that they looked good and then she talked to us for awhile. She said that the babies will be born sometime this week but not sure when yet. I have to go for non-stress test every day now until they are born. We watched a short video on the NICU because they will be there for awhile, how long no one knows. She said that they usually say until their original due date but can be earlier. I am trying to stay strong for the babies but it is hard because it is so early for them to come but Rachael's placenta is not working like its suppose to so they will be better off outside of me. Until tomorrow.....

I posted on the fertility site as well but I wanted to let you know I know how you feel and I am so sorry that you will have to do this. I know that you dont want to but that you have to do what is best for the babies. I will be thinking about you this week. Hang in there. At least they got the steroid shots. My doc was telling me today that if delivered my babies should be ok at 30 weeks. As far as breathing...they said they may need a ventilator for a little bit but that they should be OK-this was reassuring for me. My heart goes out to you. Keep in touch. :)
Stay strong Steph. It's great that you are being well monitored and know what's going on. You are in my prayers!
