I was so consumed with the fact that my Baby A is now head down, I totally forgot to AW my big babies.
I had an u/s on Tuesday and Baby A was measuring 4lb 12oz and Baby B was 4lb 9oz. I was shocked to find out they were so big!! I checked Baby Center's website and it said at 32 weeks, the baby should weigh 3lb 12oz. My babies are huge!! I hear the u/s measurements could be off by up to 1lb so I asked the lady about it and she said they are very accurate until about 34 weeks. And each week after that, the weight could be off by more and more. She says the weights on Tuesday are pretty accurate. That's nuts!! I definitely don't feel like I have almost 9.5lbs of baby in me! Oh, and my cervix was doing good, hanging on at 3.9 cm. I was a little surprised by that as well because I've been having a lot more BH contractions. All in all, a great u/s. Thanks for letting me share!!

4 Fresh IVF cycles + 1 FET where embies didn't survive the thaw = 2 perfect little men!

First, congrats on your enormous babies - you're doing a great job!
Now kind of a silly question - what do braxton hicks contractions actually feel like? Is it like a tightening or a cramping, or some other feeling? Can you feel it internally or do you feel it with your hands on your belly? Sorry to hijack, btw.
What a great job you've done cooking those little ones! Woohoo for big babies.
