Help[Opinions] Re: the twin's were born but...
in reply to a message by Andie
I'll definitely keep them and your family in my prayers. How many weeks along was your sister? About 30 weeks? And do you know how much they weighed? I ask because I'm an NICU nurse, and 2 months early is very early but not the worst it could be. I hope they do well. :)

Yes I think you are right they are about 30 weeks and everything is such a blur I can't remember how much they weigh, I want to say 3 or 4 pounds each, does that sound right?

If they are 2 months early then they are probably 30-32 weeks, and maybe around 3 pounds (twins are usually smaller than single birth babies). If you find out any more information, or just want to ask me any questions about what may be going on in the NICU where they are, feel free to ask. I'm not sure what's going on with your nieces specifically, and of course every baby is different, but babies after 27 weeks do much better than those born earlier because that is when lung development takes place. They'll still have a long road ahead of them, and I pray they do well. I'll keep you all in my thoughts. :)
