Hi everyone. We had our SR 2 weeks ago at the University of Iowa. I must say it was a hard and trying experience but the doctors and staff there were so amazingly supportive. We had consultations all day the day before the SR. I appreciated the doctors sitting down with us and going over all the risks. We met with a neonatalogist and a peri. They performed an ultrasound to determine which of the 5 fetuses were the most viable. The SR was the next morning 8 a.m. I got no sleep the night before. The actual procedure was fairly short, maybe lasting 30 minutes. They did put me on a valium so as to settle me down a bit. It kind of knocked me out. My husband was there with me and held my hand the entire time. Mostly I kept my eyes shut and just prayed. Afterwards I layed down for about an hour and then they had me come back in for a follow up ultrasound. I was then allowed to go home.
Two weeks later, everything looks great! I had an ultrasound yesterday and the twins were moving around and were very active. My OB said they both look very healthy and now we can start focusing on a healthy pregnancy. I am just hoping and praying for healthy next few months.
I thank you all for your support and advice along the way. If you have any questions too, don't hesitate to let me know.
