So, had another doc's appointment. My blood pressure went up again. The only cure for pregnancy-induced high blood pressure is delivery. My BP isn't so high as to warrant that quite yet. However, the doc was clear that BP usually gets worse and not better. Our goal is to get me to 36 weeks with rest (I'm at 34 today). After that, we'll take it day by day. But she was pretty sure I was NOT going to make it to 38 weeks (which is when they induce/perform c-sections on full-term twins). So, I went into the appointment thinking it would be a month until I met the boys. Now it seems that it might be two weeks or maybe even less. That's a big difference when we're talking the arrival of humans.
The boys are fine. BP is more of a threat to mama's health.
34 weeks is an excellent place to be, really. The boys would have to spend some time in the hospital, but they wouldn't be there for too long (barring any other complications). But 36 weeks is sort of the holy grail. And I'm hoping for 37. Keep us in your thoughts!
Oh, and we need name help. Big time. These guys are still A and B to us. I'd like them NOT to be that when they're born. Suggestions welcome.
