Hello everyone, this is my intro

MommyABC

Hello, This is my first post. I come here almost every day now that I am on modified bed rest. You ladies have taught me so much and helped me know what to expect at the next turn of this very draining pregnancy. I am 28 weeks pregnant with identical twins. I have a 14 year old daughter and a son that will be 12 next month. I have not been enjoying this pregnancy like I did my first two. I went from being very sick all the time to very uncomfortable all the time. Lately I have been having a lot of BH contractions and this is very worrisome. Last U/S one week ago, I was told that baby A is 2 lbs 12 oz and head down and Baby B is 2 lbs 15 oz and transverse, so that is good news. I hope to go natural with no drugs but my doctors want me to get the epidural just in case Baby B needs an emergency C section. Obviously when the time comes, I will do what ever is in the best interest of my babies. When we found out it was twins I was in shock and scared to death. Now, all I want are these twins in my arms. Funny how things work out.

Thanks for letting me talk your ear off

Congrats and welcome to the board. That really sucks that you haven't been able to really enjoy this pregnancy. Have you read Dr. Luke's book? She suggests that women pg with multiples take calcium/magnesium/zinc supplements. They do a lot of things, including preventing BH contractions and PTL. My MFM had me on them and they completely got rid of BH. It may be worth asking your doc. GL!

Welcome and congrats on making it to 28 weeks so far - try to hang in there; I had a very rough/complicated pregnancy as well, but it really is all worth it in the end.
