What is your idea of the prefect vacation?
My perfect vacation WOs be camping by the beach. I love waking up to the wave crashing and the smell of a early morning fire and hot coffee.
- what's your due date? August 12th but I will have the babies via section at the end of July if I make it that far
-What are the sexes of your babies? Two girls I believe. The tech said that's what she would guess but the doctor wouldn't comment because he said it was unclear. :-/
2. How are you feeling emotionally and physically?
Emotionally I'm good physically I'm tired. My 1 year old is exhausting at times. She has a ton of energy lol
3. How was your last doctors appointment?? When is your next appointment? My last appointment was March 10th and it was the anatomy scan with the specialist and it went well except he told me I should only gain about 25 pounds this pregnancy since I'm already over weight. Alright buddy I want to see if you can do that. I cause I don't know if that's even possible for me lol
4. Any rants and raves this week? Rant: since my husband heard the specialist tell me I had to watch my weight he gets after me about every little thing I eat. Geez sometimes a girl just wants a cupcake ok. Rave: my whole family is being super helpful. We had a stressful month because my husband switched jobs and didn't get a full paycheck so it was hard. They really helped especially with my daughters 1st bday party. They are amazing and I couldn't imagine doing this without them.
5. Do you have any questions or concerns about your pregnancy at this point you would like to discuss? I just want to know if anyone else is having issues sleeping? It just feels like no matter what I don't get any restful sleep.
6. Add a bump photo,( I love to see all the twin mom bump photos especially since everyone tells me I look small for carrying twins) and or add a pic of your twins. Sorry no photos right now. Maybe later.

What is your idea of the perfect vacation? I have never had a vacation with my husband. We didn't even take a honeymoon so any vacation would be wonderful. I just want to get away and enjoy some time together without stressing about anything that we have going on. But that won't happen right now. Too much to do to get ready for the twins.
due 7/9 but Doc not going let me go past 38 weeks,
Having B/G Twins
Emotionally doing great. Physically heartburn is killing me, Doc has me on pepcid Twice a day and a 300mg of Zantac at night. It still never goes away and its getting hard to eat anything. Only other real compliant is general aches and tired all the time but can never get to sleep.
3. Last appointment was OB appointment went fine, I had lost 3lbs in the last month cause of heartburn but doc wasnt to worried cause I started out over weight.
Next appointment is 18th with the MFM for fetal Echo and growth scan. Can't wait to see how big they have gotten. They where both 15oz at anatomy scan.
4. Rant, moved to a big place last weekend and even though I didn't have to move anything it took a lot out of me just packing and pointing. Rave all our guy friends came over and help with the move. So happy I didn't have to pay for movers. But will say I got spoiled last time we moved my DH job paid for it and I didn't even have pack anything.
5. Does anyone else babies get all stirred up after these long MFM ultrasound? After my anatomy scan I could tell they where mad and upset.
6. Attached. From last week.
7. A warm sunny Tropical location, went to the Bahamas right before our last ivf round and love it. Wish I could go back...
@jtenkorang It takes me forever to find a comfortable spot and fall asleep.
- what's your due date? July 5th
-What are the sexes of your babies? 2 girls
2. How are you feeling emotionally and physically? Emotionally I'm good. I have my emotional days but overall I'm great. Physically in pain often. I have sciatica issues now & my belly stretching is painful sometimes.
3. How was your last doctors appointment?? last was march 2nd. It went well. Got to see my babies again. When is your next appointment? Next is march 30th. Will be doing a glucose test blah!
4. Any rants and raves this week? None. Just happy we have made it this far & hope I go as long as possible
5. Do you have any questions or concerns about your pregnancy at this point you would like to discuss?
Not really.
6. Add a bump photo,( I love to see all the twin mom bump photos especially since everyone tells me I look small for carrying twins) and or add a pic of your twins.

GTKY:
What is your idea of the perfect vacation? my favorite is the beach! I love the ocean!
- what's your due date? July 17th
-What are the sexes of your babies? Boy & Girl
2. How are you feeling emotionally and physically? Emotionally I'm all over the place. Physically, I am so tired. I worry that I won't be able to work as long as I'd like. Knowing that I have to work to keep up with my bills and all the things the babies will need is eating up at me.
3. How was your last doctors appointment?? When is your next appointment? My last appointment was March 9 & it went great. My little girl had her back to my tummy & the little boy was moving so much. My mother was finally able to make it with me to see her first grandchildren.
4. Any rants and raves this week? Rants: the morning sickness is definitely not going away & I'm having so much trouble sleeping. It doesn't help that I'm getting up often to pee. Raves: I'm just loving that I can finally feel their little kicks from outside my tummy although the kicks sometimes make me more nauseous.
5. Do you have any questions or concerns about your pregnancy at this point you would like to discuss? I have had a few contractions but I'm pretty sure they are Braxton Hicks. It tends to happen when I've been at work all day. I'm trying to keep my workload light. I'm drinking tons of water to stop them. I'm so scared I will go into labor early.
6. Add a bump photo,( I love to see all the twin mom bump photos especially since everyone tells me I look small for carrying twins) and or add a pic of your twins. I don't have a pic but I can say my tummy comes and goes. One day it looks ginormous and the next day I get weird looks like "are you sure you're pregnant?" It usually depends on what I'm wearing.

What is your idea of the perfect vacation? A beach, ideally with a drink of some sort!
23 weeks twin girls (di/di) measuring 33 weeks
Cervical check last week dropped from 4.6 to 2.8 so I am on modified bed rest. I can still work but need to be off my feet at work and in bed when I am not working.
I just started using babe best cradle support belt. AMAZING. Not very fashionable but I don't really care.
Feeling horrible. Lots of back, lower ute, and round ligament pain. Started having ortho static hypotension with nausea so that sucks. Thankfully no swelling.
I have gained 22 lbs and right on track. MFM wants me to gain 1 lb per week of gestation.
Looking forward to connecting with everyone
Well I can tell you as a dietitian that your MFM is wrong. Regardless of how much you weighed before BFP, you should be gaining 1lb per week of gestation. This helps with twin growth and preventing preterm labor. Tell your DH to back off. Even if you were overweight, who cares. Read any book on twins and they all say minimum 30 lbs but more desirable 35-50lbs.
Good luck
