I think the babies are looking for an exit.

Update: I am 35 weeks, still in the hospital and still on bedrest. My blood pressures are doing well. They creeped up a little bit, but still within normal ranges. No more spiking. My blood work is still coming back normal and my urine proteins are only slowly rising. I will have a sono in the morning to check their growth, but everything is still looking good for a c-section on 12/12.

However, starting yesterday, I think they are trying to find a way out. They have both moved way down and I have been feeling weird pressure and funny cramps. No contractions or anything though. My Docs don't do internal exams so I have no idea if there is anything going on down there. It could just all be my imagination, but it just feels different.

This whole time I have been in the hospital, it has been about what is wrong with me and my health. The babies have been fine. I just have a feeling they are about to add their 2 cents to the discussion pretty soon. 

ETA: Had my sono with the MFM this morning. baby A is weighing an estimated 5lbs 12 oz and Baby B is weighing in at an estimated 6lbs 4 oz. Holy Crap that's a lot of baby in there.

    I've been thinking of you Melle!
    You tell those babies not to try any Shawshank craziness, they can sit tight until the twelfth. Sending good vibes to you guys.

    Either way - you have done such an awesome job getting this far - if they are burrowing out then they are ready.  Thinking good thoughts for all of you.

    Good luck- sounds like your pre-e? I was too but my BPs were low- proteins had a mind of their own. I kept on until 36 weeks and they were big over 7 lbs and 6 lbs- hang in there!

    that is about when the boys started moving down for me.  I call them ferrets because one of them do nothing but try the trap door.  My cervix feels like a kicking bag..

    Fantastic estimated weights - hope they keep on track for growth until they make their appearance :) Both being over 5lbs would mean they can go home a whole lot faster if there aren't any other concerns :D yay :D

    I noticed a very similar feeling in the couple of days before my boys decided to make their escape. The morning before my water broke, Baby A was crazy low on the BPP. Two hours before it broke, I was fully effaced, but not dilated. Still, I just felt so much more pressure in my pelvis. It felt like they were burrowing their way out! 

    Congrats on some stellar weights. FX your LOs are planning on staying for a couple more weeks!

    Great update :)  Glad to hear things are going so well :)

    TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!

    Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!

    Lurker here.... Those babies are an awesome size and 35 weeks is nothing to sneeze at for twins. Congrats on getting this far with your sanity still and GL in the coming days. Hopefully they stay baking but if not I hope everyone does well.
