babywillmake3

Hi MoMs!! This is the check in page for this week. I either have ninja m/s or the flu so I'm home today and bumping from mobile. I know we have a lot of newbies and new babies to add so I will update when I can.

**updated** feeling better now. Apparently I didn't get the when you're 16w with twins m/s comes back worse than before memo.. UGH

JuliaAndPete

@Babywillmake3 Sorry you're sick! Hope you have a quick recovery.

Julia & Peter: Parents of Modi Twins. New due date February 25th. Anatomy scan scheduled for October 15th (I'm predicting girls). Just entered my second trimester last week (15 weeks tomorrow). Still feeling sick but getting some control. Just found out my best friend is expecting and due in April. So thrilled to have someone along for this crazy ride with me. Learning so much everyday about being a MoM. Can't wait to get into our new house to start setting up our nursery and register! Hope other MoM's will help with this. Anxious for some butterflies!

Stephanie2167

26w1d - counting down until we hit the next milestone at 28 weeks. Still on modified bedrest. DH is doing great taking care of DD, grocery shopping and cooking, but the house is a disaster. So I'm up a little bit to try and pick up (wash dishes, vaccuum, dust). I just can't handle the mess. Ahhh!

DH is second guessing Baby Bs name and its driving me crazy. I love both girls names and it is seriously giving me anxiety. Nicole and Harper are their names. Harper is the name he is second guessing.

Otherwise, BP is staying stable, no contractions. I took my GD test on Thursday so I'm hoping I passed it, even though I'm already on a low carb/high protein diet to help with my high amniotic fluid.

TheDairyQueenx3

26 weeks this week! 4D U/S tomorrow with the MFM and then another appt on Thursday with OB so lots going on hopefully cervix is holding up! This week kinda sucked as my body feels like it did almost full term with my singleton. Hip pain extremely bad, rib pain, can't breath, heartburn, back ache, I could go on and on haha it's just getting really uncomfortable. I too have had a hard time with house cleaning and its driving me insane so i do what i can. However it's like fall weather out so the cool weather is exciting! And I have a great excuse to eat everything I want since all the yummy fall treats are coming out oh and 10 weeks and 3 days out from meeting these little guys! C-section is booked and pre registration is done. Still on MBR for cervix but that may change tomorrow fingers crossed all is good!

hootie123

I am 19w5d today!  Still can't believe it.   I feel great (other than getting a cold and having a hard time breathing at night - I propped my head up on a bunch of pillows so try to drain my sinuses - I hope this goes away in the next few days - yuck!) 

We had our anatomy scan on Friday - and everything looked great with both babies.  It is such an incredible relief to hear those words.  My cervix was at a 3.6 so that is good too.   And I'm going to be getting u/s every two weeks or so just to check on my cervix and the babies - so that is exciting too.   We are also moving along on the nursery. 

10-4LilBuddy

Update: 31w 6d still on hospital bedrest for shortened cervix and contractions - been here for almost 8 weeks. I get to go home at 34 weeks. I have a C section scheduled for 10/24 if the kiddos decide not to make an appearance before then.

KatieGummow

8w3d today!  Finally really excited about having twins.  I wish I could fast forward time between appointments so I know they are both healthy and I am doing the right thing for them  I am able to call the doctor's office tomorrow to ask the questions I didn't ask at my first appointment, so I am anxious and excited to find out some more information.  Have a little blomp (bloat/bump) now, which makes it even more fun

CaliCarly77

I never know what to say, so I am going to (sort of) copy Julia's entry:

Roxanne & James: Parents to be of di/di Twins. Due date January 23 (nlt Jan 9). Next MFM scan scheduled for October 7th (we are team green!), next OB appointment on Thursday 9/19.

I am 21 1/2 weeks today - its going so fast. I am starting to have more uncomfortable days than good days, so trying to get everything done w/ nursery before it gets really bad. I am feeling a ton of fun little kicks - and some are hard enough to be seen/felt from the outside. My husband is out of town for work, he is going to be surprised by my belly size when he gets home - major growth spurt. 

I've gained 26.5 lbs and have been trying to eat better since my doc wants me to "slow it down a bit" 

I have THREE friends due at the same time, so that has been fun! 

Missi576

8w5d    I gave in when we went to the OB and asked for something for the nausea.  Zofran is amazing.  I can finally function again.. and eat! 

ballygirl

34w3d with mo-di girls - due in october.  I can't believe I have made it this far!  No complications so far or signs of preterm labor. Babies are looking good.  As of last week they had estimated weights of 4 lb 6 oz and 4 lb 11 oz!  Getting big!  They are kicking away and are both head down so hopefully they stay that way and we can try a vaginal delivery!  I have pretty bad pelvic pain and am no longer working. I really can't walk much at all - even getting around the house to feed and bathe myself is painful.  I've definitely had enough of being pregnant and am looking forward to the arrival of these girls!

In other news - DH and I are buying a house!  We found our perfect house last week and put an offer which was accepted.  House inspection went pretty well so it looks like we will be closing mid-October.  We almost passed on it because I thought it was insane to buy a house and try to move with newborn twins but my parents convinced us it would be ok.  I'll just stay with my mom for a week or so while dad, DH, my brother, and maybe some other family  members do the move and I'll go back when they are all finished. Very excited to get out of this rental and into our own place!

JoDoc

27w3d  All seems to be good.  I have had awful back/muscle aches.  They start within 5 minutes of sitting in my work chair, or within 30 minutes at home in my recliner.  At home though I can lay on the floor for a bit (something my dogs thoroughly enjoy because then I can rub their bellies easier) and the pain goes away for quite a while.  But, it isn't something I can do at work.  I also have been experiencing bad right-hip pain.  I talked to my chiropractor and found out that the good news is it's normal.  The bad news is it's normal and nothing they can adjust to fix.  It's just the muscles in my pelvic region that wrap around (or something all technical like that) and will go away shortly after birth.  However, that is 13 weeks from now (if I go full term)...not sure 13 weeks of extreme hip pain is going to be pleasant! 

Also, I have been waking up at night a few times and have found myself laying on my back.  I know I'm not supposed to (blood flow to uterus), and I've tried placing pillows behind me to deter me, but wake up to find them on the floor (my dog seems to enjoy that more than I do) or in the middle of the bed nudging against my hubby.  Any suggestions?

Ledo

Hi all!
We are just short of 37 weeks today and have our c-section Thursday.  I'm pretty nervous about everything but I guess that's just part of the whole thing  
Last Tuesday I ended up having to go to L&D because I was having a ton of contractions.  By the time they got them to stop I was having them about 2 minutes apart for about 3 hours straight, not counting the 3 hours before that when they weren't that close.  I never got past 1 cm dilated though and was only 70% effaced. Thankfully they got them to stop and we were able to go home but now I'm on bedrest until our c-section so that hopefully they will stay in there just a few more days. 
Even with all the contractions and such, the girls were doing great, great heart rates and still seem to be growing well.  Just a few more days now!  By the check in next week we should hopefully be new parents of two little girls!

LittleLady77

I'm just over 10 weeks and today with di/di twins and today was the most difficult day I've had. I spent 40 minutes vomiting into a bush outside my office. Finally came in and tried to eat some toast only to vomit that up in the bathroom. I went home.

ckred27

Just over 9 weeks with di/di twins, got to see them via ultrasound this morning and they are both measuring perfectly and have great heartrates

ntdane

Hello! 15w3d here. My energy levels have been slowly getting better, though today that's not so much the case. Hopefully I'm not getting a bug. Only other thing that's bothering me now is my back and hip. Not sure if it's the belly itself that's causing the issue (I'm still down 1 lb pre-pg but have the belly size of when I was 20+ wks w/DS) or if I overdid it with something last week. I had just finished PT for these things before BFP so I am a little worried.

Otherwise, just impatiently waiting for my OB appt next week so I can finally ask all of my questions now that we know there are two in there!

jezebel57

Hi all:  will be 20 weeks tomorrow with mono/di boys.  Today was a little rough, I fell in a store parking lot and got all worried about the babies.  I went to the OB for an emergency visit and doppler says heart rates are good (146 and 160).  Really messed up my ankle/foot though so just elevating and taking it easy today.  I'm emotionally drained.  

i have my anatomy scan tomorrow so just hoping things are normal and uneventful!

Oh no!! I hope you feel better quickly - glad the babies were good!! That is such a move I would do - very prone to falls and trips. I am sure the changing center of gravity doesn't help.

I'm 2 days behind you and also have been experiencing lower back and right hip pain!

nblondheim

Okay...

I'm 15 weeks 1 day with fraternal twins and a due date of March 9th. Our anatomy scan is September 30th and we are very excited!

I'm still dealing with food aversion, nausea, and dry heaving/puking while on Zoforan. I would love for that to end soon! I've also had lower back and right hip pain. As a 4k teacher I do spend a lot of my day on my feet. Heartburn is a new symptom for me.

I haven't gained any weight yet. I lost over 17 pounds due to being sick and I'm slowly gaining that back. I think I have over 6 pounds to go before I reach my pre pregnancy weight.

southerncharm24

Oh I hope you feel better soon! 

We are 14w. Had out NT scan last week and everything came back awesome. We found out they are di/di. We go on Oct 22nd for our anatomy scan. Im over being sick, but am grateful for this experience. Althought DH and I are terrified!

sparkman-to-be

17w. Still exhausted. Already slowing down my time in office bc nights DH has to work and I have to be home w the girls are almost impossible. Thankfully I have an amazing job that has set me up at home completely to continue. I'll WFH days he works nights and go into the office other days for as long as I can manage. We just moved so unpacking boxes is still on my list when not working or tending to my girls, or keeping myself awake.


We have our first MFM appt on Thursday morning and I'm super anxious. We didn't do any early screenings on the babies so it will be nice to finally get a good glance at them. Maybe even find out sexes! We were team green our first two pregnancies so I'm excited to know this time around.

Just really ready for Thursday. Can we FF time?

KimCousino

Congrats everyone who recently found out they are expecting twins & those with milestones!!

35w6d! I don't go back to the OB until Friday. I am so happy I have made it this far but I am over all of these symptoms, as everyone is!! We are 2 weeks from our scheduled csection - I thought it was a joke when they scheduled it when I was 32 weeks. It is looking like I'll make it until then as things have been very quiet for me, with a very short cervix and PTL.

Pittpanther

Hello! 24W 1 day.  Feeling pretty good so far (knock on wood).  I did try to pick my flailing 3year old DS off the ground and pulled a muscle in my back but it healed quickly!  I do have to rest a lot more than I ever did with my singleton pregnancy at this point.  I have to go back to get another fetal Echo today because they couldnt get baby A to fully participate last time but thankfully everything looks good so far. 

I had a growth scan last week and Baby A is measuring ahead of schedule and Baby B is behind but my OB said that is ok because they are both still on the growth chart baby A is 48% and baby B is 23%.  Does that seem ok?

KaloramaKB

24.5 weeks here and doing well. Been dealing with the floods out here in Colorado so that hasn't been fun but overall feeling pretty good, albeit tired and soggy. Have my 25 week growth scan with my MFM on Friday so looking forward to learning what percentile the babies are in. 

Also will be starting my various baby-related classes this week. DH thinks I went a bit overboard signing up for so many but it really helps alleviate some anxiety to know that I will be as prepared as possible. Plus, I am a nerd and love to learn stuff. Just don't know how I am going to work a full day (fortunately at a desk job) and then go to classes until 9 pm. Might have to go home for a siesta in the afternoon so I can put my feet up.

Morgan1489

Morgan & Tim: Parents to be of triplets. Identical mono/di girls and a fraternal girl. Due date February 18, 2013. More Realistic Date (MRD) is Janurary 11th or so, still have to talk with doctors when we get a little closer! Next OB/Scan scheduled for Saturday 9/21.

I am 18 weeks and was put on slight bed rest. Staying off my feet as much as possible!

kbatchetee

Hi everyone! First time posting in this group.  I'm 9 weeks 4 days and we found out Friday that they were twins.  We are extremely excited and anxious to see the doc again, which will be in a few weeks.  Hopefully we will learn more about what type of twins they are!  Right now we are just praying for the H&H pregnancy.  Good Luck to all!

SarahCalvert

31.4 today with di/di girls. Pretty uneventful appointment with my MFM doc today. The girls weren't practice breathing as much as they wanted, but they weren't too concerned about it. I start weekly NSTs next week. Still on bedrest due to shortened cervix. It was last measured at 1 about 3 weeks ago. They are no longer checking length because they don't want to irritate it. Hoping to make it to 34+ weeks!

TommysGirl56

Hi ladies!  I am new here.  I have 2 singleton DDs, and am currently in my third pregnancy.  Went in for my first ultrasound at 8 weeks, 5 days to verify due date, and got a surprise...there are 2 babies!  Both measured 8 weeks, 5 days and had heart rates of 171 and 169, respectively.  I have an appointment today (10 weeks, 5 days) and have my fingers crossed we'll hear heartbeats with the Doppler.

I am very excited and happy to be joining all of you!  Best wishes, everyone!
