For my own sanity...could someone please explain to me a few of the possible 
reasons for a GP to take a set of healthy twins @ barely 36wks. gestation.

Mother has preeclampsia, on strict bed rest (in hospital) both mother &amp; babies 
pass daily stress tests.  Liver enzymes of mommy are elevated.  That's all I 
know that could be questionable....I'm hoping there's a much more significant 
reason than that.  

I do know that preeclampsia can go from bad to MUCH worse very rapidly.  
Personally speaking, I guess I would much rather have a baby in utero @ 37 or 
38 wks. experiencing distress rather than 35 or 36 wks.; if something was to 
go wrong...

GP wanted to take babies @ 35 1/2 wks ...which I find odd.  If there are ANY 
complications at all, they would have to be life flighted to Denver, this is all 
taking place @ a Level I nursery right now.  I'm completley confused.  I asked 
this mother & father if they wanted to wait & they hadn't even *thought* 
about "asking"....that's how they put it.  They talked with the Dr. and they 
said he gave them another 7 days....do the parents actually *have* a say in 
any of this at all?  What's going on here?  BTW she's barely over 36 wks., 
babies are both breech right now...

Thanks to all who are so *much* more educated in this area than 
I....obviously!!
