Twins PPROM and NICU

I’m currently 24+3 weeks along with didi twin boys. While I’ve been miserably sick the whole pregnancy, babies have been very healthy and complication free until two nights ago. I came into labor and delivery and confirmed a small amniotic sac rupture in baby A. I was also in early labor 3 cms dilated and 90% effaced with contractions every 6-8 minutes.

Despite the initial hospital rush to get me prepped to have babies immediately, we’ve been able to keep them and myself completely stable for two days now. Contractions have stopped. Babies both have higher than average amniotic fluid despite the leak. Heartbeats and movement are still really strong if not driving the nurses trying to do NSTs crazy because they like to move constantly. Baby A is measuring 25+2 in the 81st percentile. Baby B is measuring 24+3 in the 56th.

My husband and I are having a really hard time processing all of it. For babies, we have no idea when they’re coming or if they’ll both make it. Plus the NICU stay and long term complications of birth this early are all a lot to process. I also feel like we’re grieving the experience we hoped we’d have getting to have a scheduled c section and taking our babies home afterwards. I’ll also be in the hospital until babies are born, which ideally is as close to term as they’ll allow.

I’m hoping anyone who’s gone through something similar can give me some advice on PPROM with multiples and getting through the hospital stay. Additionally, hoping to hear some positive stories on babies born so early. The internet doom scrolling has really gotten to us both.
