Week 31- Day 7

The babies came close to needing to be delivered last night around 9 pm. Twin A had a few heart decelerations within a short time period. Essentially this means he was either playing with or getting tangled in his umbilical cord and reducing his oxygen supply. But he figured it out and recovered and looked pretty good, except for a few sporadic decelerations, the rest of the night. It has been the same throughout today. His decelerations typically occur when I have a Braxton-Hicks contraction and thankfully I have been having less contractions since I went on medication. Of course Twin B is a show-off and hasn’t had any problems. According to the doctor as long as Twin A keeps recovering and doesn’t have long or frequent decelerations it could be another week or two until we deliver. I can’t wait to see how much the babies have grown during tomorrow’s ultrasound as it will have been almost 3 weeks since the last growth measurement.
