    Well, I much as I do feel for her situation (two of my friends, twins, went through the same thing and had to be delivered early. One has suffered brain damage from it, but she's as sweet as can be.), she should've realized she was getting special treatment, but she pushed her luck, as harsh as that sounds.

    Ree, you and the rest of the mods were only doing your jobs, to keep this forum a fair and enjoyable place for everyone, and you've done an amazing job of it, far better than any forum I've ever seen. You gave her a chance, and no one can say you didn't try to help her. And you guys did have to make a touchy decision, which didn't have a pleasant outcome either way. Either we have someone constantly asking for money and the mods allowing the user to break the rules, or the decision you went with. It really wasn't a happy situation to be in, but I believe you guys handled it well.

    Let's just hope it dies down quickly and both parties can forget about this. (So I hope anyway.)

      I think I speak for all of the mods when I say to all of you, THANK YOU for your support and for having our backs during this difficult time.

      The vast majority of you have made it clear that see our side and have reacted accordingly. We appreciate it more than you realize.

      Again, thank you!

                      • Hmm...I've just thought of something, which the nurses and other healthcare professionals here might be to answer.

                        This person has mentioned that they lost one of the babies mid-pregnancy. They have mentioned several times that when twin A is born, twin B will be delivered (stillborn) as well. At the point mentioned, it was around 21 weeks. A bit of tracking forward would put them now at around 32 weeks.

                        Is it normal practice for doctors to keep a stillborn twin inside for almost 12 weeks?! (In all honesty, I'm surprised that the stillborn hasn't been delivered already)

                        • Fireheart this were going to be identical twins and so there is only one placenta. They can't do a delivery of just one of them.

                            I in no way mean to sound snarky, but how do you think they would deliver it? Anything done to do so would put the other baby at risk. In a c-section the uterus is cut open and then stitched back up, vaginal dilation to get it out means everything would probably come out, like all the amniotic fluid. Sometimes the body will expel the dead fetus (a friend had this happen at 18 weeks, freaked her out because of the bleeding) but if not it stays. Doctors will try to deliver the live baby as soon as it is healthily possible.

                            Yes, I was trained to ask (tactfully/politely) during my medic training to ask if both were alive if a woman in labor said it was twins. I cannot imagine having to go through that, on either end.

                            • fireheart, if you google TTTS, it will tell you about that situation, and explain what happens if one twin dies.

                              • I think what fireheart is trying to ask is that with a high-risk pregnancy like this one, would the preference be for more monitoring with a view to having a caeserean as early as possible simply in order to give the other fetus a better chance at survival?
                                Don't tempt pixies, it never ends well.
