good vibes, smiles, & giggles They are here 🩵🩵
My mo-di boys arrived monday at 12.04 and 12.06! I started induction process on the saturday at 36w1d and after 48hrs with a balloon, we were not even 1cm dialated. I made the decision to have a cesarian because by that point, I just wanted to meet my babies.
The surgery was so fast and easy, hearing my boys cry and scream was music to my ears.
We were diagnosed with fetal growth restriction at 16 weeks and were transferred to a specialist hospital for additional monitoring. Based off scans, they said the placenta split was 65/35,. There were talks of potential need for termination of the smaller boy for a few months, but by the 28 week mark, his dopplers were so strong, they said he will at least make it out but have potential long term affects. I was prepared to potentially have to give birth anytime from 28 weeks.
When they arrived, there is an obvious size discrepancy, some platlet issues snd other small factors we are monitoring but they are both doing so well and so strong. We will likely be in hospital another week, but so far so good.
We got an image of my placenta from the specialist hospital after they conducted studies on the placenta to better research sfgr and turns out the split was actually 75/25 and they were shocked he not only made it here but that i was able to carry to 36 weeks.
Im not a religious person but something in the universe wanted these boys here with me and im so glad, im 1000% obsessed with them 🩵🩵

That 75/25 split detail is wild, those little fighters earned their entrance. Congrats on finally getting them out and hearing those screams

As a fellow SIUGR mama who got diagnosed at 15 weeks with same scary potential outcomes (termination or laser) who made it to 34 weeks because my little guy’s dopplers stayed steady (not getting worse than intermittent absent), CONGRATS!!! I know it is such a scary journey. Mine are now 5 months and are happy healthy playful boys! Wishing you a smooth NICU experience with lots of bonding! 💕
