Twins in NICU - A very Hard Experience
I conceived twin girls via IVF and my fertility doctor told me to go to Al Wasl, as they had the best premature care...as preterm labour is a risk with twins.
I was not happy with Al Wasl during my appointments...the long waits, a different doctor every time, taking the whole day off from work etc etc...but I put up with that.
I was 28 weeks and feeling fine all day. Around 5 pm I felt a slight pain every 30 minutes and thought it was best to get it checked. We went to the ER at Al Wasl, and I was told I was 8 cm dilated. I was rushed to the delivery suite and after a C section, gave birth to my twin girls: 1.1 kg and 0.9 kg.
The girls are in the NICU at Al Wasl right now. Its been almost 5 weeks and we are worried sick and praying hard. The doctors and nurses at the hospital are amazing...and I am happy with the care the babies are receiving.
The elder one is doing well in terms of gaining weight.
The younger one is still on the vent, though its only in her nose. She also had an infection but thats been sorted out with antibiotics. She is gaining weight, but we are very worried about her not breathing on her own.
Please pray for my little angels to come home with good health and have a long life.
Does anyone have any experience with preterm babies and vents?
