I'm sorry for your loss; it reminds me of my last pregnancy. I conceived di-di twins and lost Baby A at 9 weeks. I was sad to lose baby A, but I felt lucky to be carrying baby B into the second trimester. (Due to a uterine anomaly, I have a high rate of miscarriage.) My pregnancy proceeded uneventfully until 27 weeks, when I went into preterm labor. Tocolytics were uneffective, and I delivered a 2 1/2 pound baby boy on 7/13/10.<br /><br />Because of my experience, I want to share a few points:<br />1) It is AMAZING that you naturally conceived TWO sets of mono-mono twins in one pregnancy. Nothing will ever change that.<br />2) Lost but not forgotten, you will always carry Addison and Levi in your heart.<br />3) Quad pregnancies are extremely high-risk. The average gestational age at delivery for quads is 30 weeks. Average birth weight is 1300 grams. Average length of stay in the NICU is 58 days. And half of quad pregnancies result in at least one baby with a major handicap.<br />4) Fetal reduction is also risky.<br />5) I'm convinced that I would have gone into preterm labor weeks earlier if I had carried both twins into the second trimester. Although survival and long-term outcome statistics are good for 27-weekers, they are much worse for 25, 24, and 23-weekers. <br />6) The loss of Addison and Levi may be a blessing in disguise if it allows you to make it closer to term.<br /><br />You may already know these things, in which case please accept my virtual and hug and allow me to wish you a long and healthy pregnancy.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655952633053398667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014276083359373173.post-68018162580440438822011-04-03T07:23:34.570-07:002011-04-03T07:23:34.570-07:00I am so very sorry for your loss and can completel...I am so very sorry for your loss and can completely understand the mixed emotions that you most certainly are feeling...which will likely continue for most of your pregnancy. My son Cameron is the sole survivor of a mono-di twin pregnancy that TTTS affected. I lost Cole at 23.5 weeks and carried both my boys, through numerous challenges, until 34 weeks. Every day was filled with so many feelings but always with hope. <br />I've spent much time learning acceptance, finding hope and learning to cope with my loss...and blogged a lot of it along the way...<br />http://journeytohopeandhealing.blogspot.com/<br />Feel free to message me or leave me a comment if you would like the chat or have questions about anything we experienced including delivery and what that can entail. <br />Much love, prayers and feelings of hope sent your way.Jodie Tummershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618800847238312107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014276083359373173.post-5921697965406912572011-03-29T19:35:48.211-07:002011-03-29T19:35:48.211-07:00I am saddened to hear about Levi and Addison, but ...I am saddened to hear about Levi and Addison, but rejoice to know that your angel babies are in Heaven and will never have to endure the hardships on this earth.<br /><3Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08385157145156266320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014276083359373173.post-53236696981080573962011-03-29T12:07:38.333-07:002011-03-29T12:07:38.333-07:00This is such heart breating news!
