So, the little ones decided to come early at 31 weeks! I went in for a routine scan and ended up being admitted and had CS 2 days later. I was diagnosed with Preeclampsia towards the end. The babies are actually one month old now. They will be staying in the NICU probably until after Christmas. I wasn’t able to post in here straightaway as I was readmitted for hypertension and still pops up to the A&E every now and then to get checked. Babies are doing fine and both are now transferred from incubators to their cribs. It’s still a bit surreal that I have them now. And at 49 years of age. At first it was a dream… I know the journey wasn’t easy but please don’t give up hope and don’t stop dreaming. I’m wishing you all baby dust and hope your dreams come true someday. Xxx

Hi puppylove. Oh how fabulous - twins! Don't know what sex they are, but they look just amazing. So sorry about the dramatic entrance into this cold world, and that you have been a bit poorly. Hopefully you are on the mend now and little ones will be strong enough to come home in the New Year. xxxx's for twins and a gentle hug for you. Diane

Thanks, Daisy. Yah, it was a shock for me and I was quite nervous and upset on the morning the consultant told me they have to do the section. But things happen quite quickly. And things are improving so far, thank God. Best of luck to you and your journey. X

wowzers! ❤️😍🥰 they’re just beautiful and look how well they’re doing having been born at only 31 weeks! You must be an absolute trooper and you’re an inspiration for anyone at 49. It’s amazing news. Massive congratulations and I hope it’s not too tricky once you get them home. I can see nails are growing well. Believe me they’re difficult to keep on top of 🤣 a tiny but annoying little worry when you get home.
