Today's ultrasound showed that the reverse diastolic blood flow to Twin A is back, which explains why he was having a few heart decelerations yesterday. According to the monitors, the heart decelerations typically occur when I have a Braxton-Hicks contraction, which I don't even feel. The doctors are now giving me medication to relax my uterus and hopefully stop the contractions and the associated heart decelerations. In the meantime they are going to keep monitoring continuously to see how things go. If they keep going well the next ultrasound will be Monday and they will check the placenta blood flow and check the growth of the twins.
The ultrasound tech said that Twin B currently looks like he is resting his head on Twin A's butt. The nurse joked that this should earn Twin A the right to the top bunk when they are older.

hehehe. I had the same issues with Quinn (decelerated heart rate with contractions). We didn't know it until I was actually at the hospital after my water broke. But he ended up just dandy! And BTW, if you get loft beds, BOTH boys can sleep on the top bunk. By the time you need the loft beds, we may have two available ;)
ReplyDeleteQuinn did turn out great! ;) The doctors and nurses are pretty amazed there haven't been any decels until now. They thought they would have had to deliver ages ago!
