Last night I became the proud auntie to B/G twins. They made a surprise entrance at 33 weeks and there was only the opportunity to get one dose of steroids in to mum before a emcs, as they were both footling breech.
One is almost 6lbs (I know, he's huge for his gestation!) And on CPAP and my little niece is a bit over 4lb and isn't on cpap but is needing some help.
Obviously we knew they'd be a bit premature but she had sailed through until yesterday morning when her waters just went.
How long would you they usually be in hospital for? I know it's hard to say but I have no idea if it'll be a coupke of weeks or longer?
What's the do's and don'ts when they are in special care? I obviously want to race down there and check they are all ok but is it only immediate family allowed in special care?
And lastly, where can I get gifts for them, that they'll be able to put to use and make their stay easier?
