hi ladies --
i didn't post on the first tri board because i was still a bit nervous (and in shock) about my pregnancy ... but i'm "out" now, and just wanted to introduce myself.
i had twins one year ago tomorrow, conceived via IVF and born at 33.5 weeks (relatively easy pregnancy ending in a placental abruption) via emergency c-section, followed by a blood transfusion and lots of scary moments. if anyone has any questions about any of that stuff, feel free to ask!
the twins (a boy and a girl) are doing amazing, and i was shocked to find myself pregnant again right after thanksgiving. had my NT scan a couple of weeks ago, and everything looks great. just one baby this time ![]()
anyway, just wanted to say hi!

LoveEeyore... not a dumb question at all. They didn't share a placenta -- it was my son's placenta (Baby "B") that had the abruption.
I'm feeling pretty good now. Had terrible morning/ all day sickness until about a week ago, but otherwise everything has been great. Much different than the first time around -- I was on hormones galore which made all of the symptoms SO much worse!
