Multiples Monday 6/5

Hey y'all!

I thought I'd check and see how many multiples moms we have in here so far.  I know most folks won't find out until you get an ultrasound, and if you weren't riding the infertility train, you might not have had that done yet, so we'll see a few folks trickle in over the next month.

So tell us how far along you are, your EDD, what sort of pregnancy you seem to have, and how you're feeling!

I'm at 9 weeks, 6 days, with mo/di twins, EDD 1/2.  Of course, they'll come earlier than that (so full disclosure, I'm haunting the Dec 2017 board too-- I decided to be "bi-monthly" since I've got some stuff in common with both BMCs).

Nausea is kicking my ass, but I'm so grateful that diclegis can take the edge off.  

I'm in between doctors, released by my RE, but not set up yet with the ob/gyn (should have a call for an appointment at the end of the week).  I know I'll also need a MFM specialist on my team.  I'll feel better once I've got the team assembled, have met everyone, and know what the monitoring is going to look like.

I'm also eager to set the NIPT up, since that can happen as early as 10 weeks.  If it doesn't flag anything, I'm not going to do the amniocentesis.  I just don't want the risk.  If it does flag something, then I will.

also I know there were some other folks who thought they might, but might not, or might be dealing with a vanishing twin.  I'd like to know how y'all are doing, but I won't call you out.
