28 Weeks

I have been counting down the days until I made it to this milestone of my pregnancy. So what is it exactly that makes 28 weeks so special you ask? Simply put the babies if born now would have a good chance of survival. Just how good depends on what statistics you are looking at as well as how good the hospital is and how much fight the babies have in them but from what I can find the survival rate at 28 weeks is 80% or a little higher. Now that doesn’t mean I’m ready to have them yet because I’m not but considering how often twins come early I feel better knowing that their chances get better by the day.
Today I had my 28 week ultrasound to check the babies growth. Both girls are still looking great and seem to be right on target for growth. I still can’t make it through the whole ultrasound without feeling like I’m going to pass out. I guess that is what happens when you have nearly 5 lbs of babies squishing your veins and arteries.
