Layci! Your bravery is outstanding. I can't believe you have been in the

hospital for so long but thank goodness you seem to be under watchful eyes!

Thanks for the update and we'll be praying for you and the girls intensely.

Hang in there!

Good luck Layci!

Sounds like you've been through a lot already! Good luck with your doc

visit... I'm on modified bedrest at home.... I'm at week 29 and have been

on bedrest since week 24... It's hard enough on me, and I'm still allowed

to get up and get food and go to the bathroom.... I can't imagine what it's

like to be flat in the hospital! If you can access the internet regularly,

I'd suggest a website - www.sidelines.org - they are a support site for

women on bedrest... to help us keep our sanity.... *S*

Here's hoping the weeks fly by, and those babies stay where they need to

stay! *S*

I'M BACK--sort of (NEED PRAYERS!)

Hey guys...

Just thought I'd let you know that I've been in the hospital for 24

days now!!! I just got internet access today or else I would have

posted a LONG time ago! I went to my sonogram appointment on Oct.

27th when I was 18 weeks. My cervix was funnelled to the stitch and

it had shortened to 1.8 cm. My dr. immediately sent me to the

hospital and I have been here ever since. I was and still am sooooo

scared. I have had weekly sonograms here in the hospital every

Monday. I HATE having them because everytime I have one, my cervix

seems to have shortened even more. The good thing is though, that

the stitch is still holding and there hasn't been any pain or

bleeding or anything like that. About 2 weeks ago, my dr. sent me to

a perinatologist across the street from the hospital to see if he

had any ideas of what else we could do. I had to go in an ambulance

because I'm not allowed to sit up at all. Anyway, this dr. said that

doing another cerclage might make things worse because what was left

of my cervix was still closed. My cervix was about .9 cm that day.

Anyway, I had been having lots of braxton-hicks contractions so he

put me on a medication to slow and stop those just in case they were

contributing to my cervical shortening. This past Monday, after one

week of being on STRICT bedrest and the medication, my cervix was

unchanged from the week before and we are now holding steady at .9

cm! It sounds bad but my dr. is really impressed that I've made it

this far and thinks that the combination of meds and the strict

bedrest may do the trick for a while longer. My feet haven't touched

the floor in 12 days! I have been in the trendelenburg position and

using a bed pan (which totally sucks!) I am going in the ambulance

again tomorrow morning to see the perinatologist again and I am

really nervous about seeing the length of my cervix this time. I

PRAY that it is still unchanged. Oh yeah, and another thing that we

found out was that baby B's umbillical cord only has 1 artery and 1

vein in it when it's supposed to have 2 arteries in it. The ureter

from her kidney's to her bladder is a little shorter than normal as

well, so they warned me that these things could mean that there

could be something wrong. As of right now, I don't know how bad or

how wrong that could be. For some reason, I'm not that worried about

it and feel like she will be fine. Oh yeah, and If I haven't told

you already, we're having 2 girls! Anyway, this coming Wednesday I

will be 22 weeks and will have been in here for 4 weeks. As much as

it sucks, I hope and pray that I will be in here much longer. Please

keep me in your prayers! They seem to be working! Well, I better get

going for now. Hope everyone is doing well!

Love,

Layci, 26

Layci! I'm so happy to hear from you! We were all getting worried,

so it's such a relief to hear those little girls are still in there

and growing strong.

I'm going to be sending tons of positive thoughts of health in hope

that those girls will stay put. I hope you're keeping sane and that

you're handling being on bedrest as well as can be expected. Yay on

your cervix not changing for a week. That's a great sign. Thanks

for keeping us posted!

Layci-

I hate that you are having to go through this - I had wondered where

you had gotten off too...I can't imagine the strength it must take to

face each day. Your post sounds very upbeat and I know that your

positive attitude is doing great things.

Know that I am here willing to lend an ear anytime, feel free to

email off board if you want. I am keeping you and your precious

babies in my thoughts and prayers.

Hugs,

fused UD

[Guest guest]

Prayers coming your way Layci!!! Every day gives those little girls that

much more chance, so hang in there I know you can do it!!!

hugs

Mikki

ps- oh yeah, rest NOW 'cuz you won't get any later I haven't slept more

than 90 minutes at a time in a month, so try to enjoy it now even though

it's driving you crazy!

[Guest guest]

Layci, we are praying for you and your twin girls at my house, too..

I know you can do this! Be still!! You are one brave, strong woman.

[Guest guest]

Hi there - I just read your post and wanted to extend my prayers and

best wishes. I can't imagine what you must be going through. I'm

not sure which would be worse, the worry and concern or the bed

rest. It sounds like you're handling it very well. Best wishes for

a healthy remainder of your pregnancy.
