Intro

Hi y'all,

I wanted to introduce myself. We live near Austin, TX and have a toddler who I stay home with. I was a pediatric speech therapist before I had my son, but since he was born, I've just done some work (non-speech therapy) from home for my company. 

Got pregnant in September and 2 weeks ago we went in for my first u/s at 9 weeks and got the absolute shock of our lives when we saw two babies. I have absolutely no family history going back many hundreds of years! They are di/di (that's two sacs, two placentas, right? I'm trying to learn all of this!)

We are still processing a lot of emotions but feel really blessed. I am 6 feet tall and delivered my 9 1/2 pound son med-free so my perinatologist said that with my height, health and prior OB history, she expects me to "sail right through this" and I certainly hope that's the case! The babies are looking good so far- we have another u/s the week after Tgiving. 

Anyway, I look forward to posting questions and learning from y'all because I certainly have a lot to learn!

    congrats and welcome! i'm tall too and my OB said, when we found out it was triplets, that I was "built for this". Ha ha, kind of a back-handed compliment, but it wsa mostly true. I never had any PTL or cervical issues.

    Welcome, I don't think the shock ever wears off! I'm still amazed at what we have been blessed with!

    I also didn't have any family history of multiples but here we are!

    Welcome!  My OB keeps is still talking about my height as a positive.  I'm not quite 5'10'' and he says he loves to see twin+ moms that tall.  Good luck!  You'll learn a lot here.

    Congrats and welcome! I am fairly new here too, and this board has been awesome.  We had no reason to suspect twins either, so it was a complete shock. (and still is!) I'm "only" 5'7", but I have a long torso and wide hips, so I am hoping those things work in my favor.
