That's good news to hear, Caroline. Professor Nicolaides is such a fantastic doctor isn't he? I'm keeping everything crossed that your twins thrive after this operation.

Many, many congratulations to you the little ones - what a nightmare journey for you so far. I wish the next few months to be a far smoother ride for you.

Take care, rest well and look after yourself.

I am so pleased that the surgery went well. It is wonderful that you had access to such a world class medico and now those beautiful little babies will be able to thrive. Hope all remains well in the coming days and for the remainder of your pregnancy.

Best wishes

Just got back from the hospital. I really think today has been the longest day of our lives. Incredibly all 3 babies are alive & doing well. Even the professer said it was remarkable. The baby that had no fluid at all now does & has grown and shows normal blood flows.

It feels like a miracle. In shock.

Thank you for all your support.

I just wanted to jump in and say how relieved I am that everything is fine - I've been watching out for your post.

I hope that the rest of your pregnancy now runs smoothly along and you have a trio of happy, healthy people in your arms very soon.

Good luck with your bundles :D

That's fantastic news, Caroline - those are 3 very special and strong babies you've got there (although you don't need me to tell you that).
