28 weeks with some ?s

ravensfan0716 · February 2013

Hi everyone,

I am 27wks 6 days pregnant with B/G twins, and I have a few questions-

1) At my appointment this week, the US tech said both babies were breech with their little bottoms facing down (basically folded in half with their feet up by their faces). My understanding is that there is still plenty of time for them to change positions in the next 8-9 weeks, right?

2) Also, I am being seen at a MFM practice. I was under the impression that since I just had my 28 week appointment, that my appointments would now be every 2 weeks, but the doctor I saw this time said they will start that at 32 weeks. Although my twins are di/di, it is still not a completely uncomplicated pregnancy. Twin A (baby girl) continues to have echogenic bowel found at 24 weeks. Any other di/di moms not start biweekly appointments until 32 weeks?

Any experience of comments appreciated. Thanks!

I'm not sure about your breech question, but I've pregnant with di/di twins and have been going every two weeks since 18 weeks. At 30 weeks, I'll be going in every week. I have an u/s every 4 weeks. I'm surprised you aren't going more often.

I had PTL so was going twice a week after 28 weeks.

But my babies flipped constantly right up until the big day at 34 weeks.

I can only give my experience so far with my triplets (I'm currently 35w2d). One of mine just changed positions during the past week. He was transverse, head left last Thursday and yesterday was transverse, head right. So I think you still have plenty of time for yours to flip.

As for frequency of appts, I only see an MFM and didn't start biweekly appts until 32wks. I have di/tri triplets (id twins and fraternal trip) and that did not change the frequency of appts.

I've been seeing the ob every two weeks since about 2224 weeks. I'm starting weekly now. I'm 29w 6d today. I started NSTs twice weekly at 27w5d.

My girls flipped around this last week. The one on the right went from head down to breech. The one on the left went from breech to head down. So they traded. But yes, they can probably still flip.

I have an appt at 30 weeks (last was at 26) and I should start every 2 weeks then. I also have a growth ultrasound every 4 weeks, and they have been off-setting such that I've been going in every 2 weeks but not seeing the same doctor every time.

I have di/di boys and A is breech, sitting like he's in a hammock along the bottom of my ute, and B is like a bunk bed above my belly button. We already have a csection scheduled, but yes, it is entirely possible for them to flip between now and then. My boys changed positions a few weeks ago and I'm not 100% sure they haven't moved again.

As for the MFM, we were discharged from our MFM at 24 weeks but my OB says biweekly BPPs will begin at 32 weeks with her. We have a growth scan at 30 weeks, then the BPPs start at the following appointment and will be biweekly until delivery.
