I went on bed rest with twins at 21 weeks. I received a spectrum of treatments from procardia, terbutaline, indocin, corticosteroids, to the (gulp) 24 hour mag treatment, and home monitoring. Then my babies aged out of these options and there was nothing left to do but soak in the tub doped up on Benedryl.
Miraculously, we made it. Three months and one day later, at 34 weeks we gave birth to 2 healthy girls that needed a 10 day stay in the NICU. We are thankful for God’s precious gifts.
