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 & 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!!
