Hi everyone!
Hope you're all still cooking and feeling good! This will probably be my last check in pre-babies, so I thought I'd see how everyone is doing!
1. Does anyone have an induction/cesarean date?
2. How are bed rest and hospital stay mommas doing?
3. Is everyone ready at home? Nursery, car seats, etc?!
4. Any big fears?
5. What are you most looking forward to?
1. My induction is December 7. The babies will be 34 and 4. Because my water broke at 29 and 5 they don't feel comfortable waiting much longer to deliver.
2. I've been in the hospital since the 3rd of November and I can't wait to go home! But I would do it all again for happy healthy babies!
3. We are completely ready except for car seats. My husband has had to do a lot of stuff on his own, we wouldn't be ready if it weren't for him!
4. I'm terrified to be induced, I would like babies to come on their own! They are about 5 pounds each and are head down, so there is a chance I could go into labor before hand! I was also afraid of NICU time, but the doctors seem sure they won't need very long as we've made it so far!
5. I can't wait to see my little ones! I know I'm going to cry huge years of joy, but to finally hold them after all of the complications We've had will be such a huge relief!
Good luck mamas!
Re: Multiple mamas 11/30
I'm 34w3d and definitely feeling it. I had a BPP at 32 weeks and they were 5lbs each (50th percentile!) and scored perfect on everything. I'm still hoping to make it to 38 weeks, and so far so good - no signs of imminent labour yet.
They're both head down so my OB is talking induction around Christmas if I don't start on my own by then, but no date set yet. I did have a pre-op appointment last week in case a section needs to happen, and my biggest fear is delivering A naturally and then B via c section - I don't want to have to worry about recovering from both!
I'm finding moving around and walking are getting way difficult. I tried to get groceries on Saturday at one of the bigger grocery stores and my hips and pelvic bones were killing me after 10 minutes. Every morning I have to take a nice long warm shower to ease my hip pain from sleeping.
And @happyandhopeful3 I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets all misty-eyed when thinking about meeting my babies! I can't wait for that moment... I mean I CAN wait for 38 weeks but it's going to be so awesome. I cry huge tears thinking about my husband holding them for the first time too!
I'm glad everyone is still plugging, and I think 34 weeks is a great goal! You've got this!
Pretty much everything at home is ready for them except me ha ha. I want them to keep cooking safely
They are both head down, so will try for vaginal delivery. Biggest fear is an abruption during delivery or something happening to the babies.
Don't have an induction scheduled--she thinks they will come early on their own because of the cholestasis, but for now my cervix is holding strong at 4.5 cm.
glad everyone is doing well and hope all continues to!
every two weeks as well. At my practice this (32) will be the last week of those checks, but they will start weekly biophysical profiles.
1. We haven't discussed this yet. The fetuses are still flipping back and forth.
3. We don't have anything in our house yet!
4. Nervous of not being prepared.
5. Looking forward to sleeping on my tummy!
My OB is a twin/multiple specialist so I trust her to give me the level of care I need and so far everything's been going very smoothly (no complications yet, knock on wood)... but is anyone else still on the "minimum" number of appointments?
1. We dont have a date set yet. Even tho we know about when the doc wants them here, but Baby A is breech so more than likely a c section here.
3. Everything is set & ready to go! Except for momma
4. Fears...? Honestly, doctors/nurses mixing my babies up with someone elses. Eeeeeek.
5. I cant wait to hold them, and love on them!! & like others have said, i cant wait to see my husband hold our precious girls
I hope all of you have a easy and smooth labor!! Good luck mommas!
