It's a .... It's a .....

The tech was fairly sure at 16w2d that we are having boys! I always felt it was at least 1 boy and probably 2. I had no preference but am now adjusting to the news!

All else is good and now I start cervical checks every 2 weeks.

Today my length was 3.4. Doc and tech were happy but it doesn't sound great to me. Any thoughts?

D & L are here at 34 weeks 4 days by vaginal and breech delivery on 11/19/2013

  • Was the u/s vaginal or abdominal?

    My cervix was 3.7 abdominally but when he checked with the vaginal probe it was still very long and hard. It can be hard to get a good read on it abdominally and its going to depend on your OB/MFM as yo what their cutoff is.

  • They measured transvaginally.

  • Comgratulations!

    That is a fantastic length. I would love to have that length. My MFM said anything above 2 and a half is good.

  • Congrats on Team Blue! Boys are awesome! Your cervix sounds fine to me...and if your doctor isn't worried, you probably don't need to be either. It also sounds like they're being proactive with monitoring you, so that is also good.

  • I am excited about the boys!  My husband wasn't there (my mom and sister came for the first time instead) and I was shocked when the tech said she could tell.  So I asked her to write it down.  We met my husband at a cafe afterwards, and he opened the sealed envelope.  The tech was cute and wrote it on 2 separate folded up post-its.  He unfolded the first one and it said "Baby A is a Boy."  I was so happy! 

    Then, I was like -oh gosh, now what do I want the next one to say.  Paper 2 said "Baby B is a Boy."  I am so happy they will have a brother and be able to play and grow together.  I am also happy that their shared nursery will have 1 theme!  Now for names ;)

  • I may be a little biased, but I think boys are the absolute best!! And, I think my cervical length was around that at 16w. It went as high as low 4s at one point and I never had any PTL issues until my water broke at 36w. Even two hours before that, I wasn't dilated. If your doctors are pleased, I would think all is well.

    Congrats on team blue x2!

  • congrats! It's great that it worked out for your hubby to get in on the surprise!

    Your cervical length sounds great to me.

    My measurements were much shorter (around 1cm) and I had funneling so my dr put me on bedrest. Like PP said, above 2 is good!

    Take care of yourself and those boys!

  • Congrats!! From the beginning of my pregnancy I felt girl. Then when we found out it was twins, I still felt girl so I just knew 1 was a girl for sure. Part of me knew they were both girls so I wasn't overly shocked when the tech said, A is a girl and B is a girl too.

                              

  • Awww!! Wonderful news!!!
