Mom to 3.5 yr old twin boys! My twins didn't spend any time in NICU. In fact they had my c-section scheduled at 38 weeks (due to their size), but lo and behold the day before my scheduled section I went into labor! I didn't end up having a c-section for either, but they are almost 2 hours apart!! Guess one of them just wasn't ready to come out! LOL
Hang in there! When I found out I was pg with my twins in Jan '09, my biggest goal was to keep them in. They were induced at 37 weeks b/c they were so big and I had a ******l delivery! Just b/c they are twins doesn't mean they'll spend time in the NICU. We went home 48h later. Get tons of rest. If you have even a moment to lie down, do it. Avoid things that get your heart rate up. Drink lots and lots of water--dehydration leads to contractions. Eat lots of protein and eat healthfully. AGain, rest, rest, rest--that's the number one thing that keeps contractions at bay. Good luck. My boy girl twins will be three in September and they are in the 95%ile (have been since they were embryos!)
