I'm happy to have found this board. I have no one in real life that can relate to being pregnant with twins. We just found out Wednesday at our sequential screening that we are having identical twins that share a placenta but have their own sac mono/di??. We have a 20 month baby girl. It's going to be a very busy house!
We are excited but also worried. My ob told me I will need to be monitored for ttts and that with my size I probably won't carry them passed 34 weeks. She told me to be prepared for them to be in the NICU. I'm so worried about their size because my daughter was born at 41 weeks at 5lbs 6oz. Any advice out encouragement would be appreciated. TIA
Re: excited and worried!
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
Congratulations!
Just try to stay as calm and relaxed as possible and take the time to take care of yourself. My Mono/Di boys will be 7 months tomorrow. I had a very uneventful pregnancy and delivered them at 34 weeks and 1 day and they were both just under 5lbs. They spent two weeks in the NICU growing and feeding and are in perfect health today even a little on the chubby side.
It's hard but try not to be afraid of the could happens and just take it day by day and enjoy having two little growing beans.
