Re: Tuesday Twin Check In 4/14
Twin Type (Identical/Fraternal/etc): Fraternal - team green
Symptoms: Being comfortable is already a thing of the past. Sore back, sore lady parts & swelling, sore feet - which now also have vericose veins to match the ones that have popped up my legs
Appointment AW: Nothing this week
Questions/Comments/Complaints/Concerns: I've never bought into the whole "push present" idea before, but I'm definitely getting myself something special for when I deliver this time. Anyone else treating themselves to anything special because they feel like they've earned it?

"Omg you're gonna have 3 under 2? You're gonna have your hands full!" ...really? Coz I thought it sounded like I could pull it off in my sleep lol
Twin Type (Identical/Fraternal/etc): boy/ girl fraternal twins
Symptoms: feeling great except for swollen feet by the end of the day and more peeing.
Appointment AW: ultrasound and apt on Friday
Questions/Comments/Complaints/Concerns: had an ultrasound last week and baby b wasn't growing as much as she should be- only put on 1 lbs in 3 weeks. Dr said not to worry it's very common with twins ( and she is still 3.3 lbs ) but it's hard not to worry. I guess I'll be monitored now weekly to make sure she is growing, I've been consuming a lot of calories to try to fatten her up.

You look small for having twins, I know this seems like a compliment but it makes me feel like I'm not doing a good job of growing healthy babies.
I also agree with the " oh wow, twins! Good luck or the " do twins run in the family" it's also getting annoying.
Lastly, " get your sleep now because you're never going to sleep again" please, shut up forever.
I'm getting feisty in my last few weeks of pregnancy- does anyone know when they will deliver? Any c sections planned?
Twin Type (Identical/Fraternal/etc): Fraternal Boy/Girl
Symptoms: I could breathe fire with the heartburn I'm having. Last ultrasound Baby A was breech and Baby B was transverse so there has been a lot of heads/ backs in my rib cage. Oh and itchy belly is in full effect.
Appointment AW: We have a doctor appt and ultrasound appt this Thursday. We will be getting ultrasounds every week now for biophysicals.
Questions/Comments/Complaints/Concerns: I'm a little anxious not knowing yet if I will get the chance to deliver vaginally or c-section. Doctor says they wait until 36 weeks until they start making decisions.

I agree, I am tired of getting the comment "oh your so small for having twins." I don't ever know how to respond because deep down it does make me feel like I'm not doing my job growing these babies.
Also, since we are having a boy and a girl people say "one and done." I'm like what if I wanted to have more children?
@hailee8706 LOL oh the heartburn! Just started for me
I'm also feeling uneasy about the birth part. I've done a lot of research and have decided that I want to go with a c section ( for me personally) but when it will happen it making me anxious
@Emilywooddesign yea that comment bugs me but I don't have the patience to explain to everyone our family plan so mosts times I just smile and nod lol I am thinking c-section is in my future, Baby A was head down up until the third tri then she flipped. Baby B has always been transverse and folded over himself.
Di/Di girls
My pelvic pain is terrible, I feel like they could fall out at anytime lol.
I have an appt this Thursday with a Perinatologist since one twin was almost 12 oz larger than the last one at an us. Also they have switched which one was bigger. Hopefully everything is peachy in there
I get the omg you're small for twins.
Does it run in your family?
Hope al you twin mama's are doing great!
And my husband wonders why I'm not as easily aroused as I was during my last pregnancy
Twin Type (Identical/Fraternal/etc): di di girls
Symptoms: pelvic pain, back aches, charlie horses, headaches, just pure exhaustion
Appointment AW: Nothing until next Tuesday
Questions/Comments/Complaints/Concerns: Nothing

I've only gained 5 pounds, but babies are perfectly healthy at over 3 and a half pounds each. I'm sick of people telling me I'm starving my kids and I need to eat more. I eat plenty. If my doctor was concerned, then I would be too.
Then like everyone else, the size of my belly. I'm already measuring full term. You can definitely tell I'm pregnant. I either get "wow you don't even look pregnant" or "wow, you've gotten huge". Um, thanks.
And the "do twins run in your family". I wish people would have a little common sense and just keep their mouths shut!
I'm already aware I'll have a scheduled c-section. With ds I had complications and had to have an emergency c-section. The girls are head down, but to avoid complications again, they're just going the safe route. And I feel both babies move a ton. Baby B was transverse, so I could usually tell which one was which. Now that they're both head down, they have their feet up in my ribs together so it can be more difficult to tell them apart. But like PPs have said, they both move together and my stomach just goes crazy!
I'm only going to comment on what I'm sick of people saying. I get the sarcastic "good luck" so much I want to scream! It's so rude! Yes, I'll have 3 under 2 but it's not like I planned this...it just happened. I'll take it for what it is: a blessing.
Also, because we are having 2 girls and dd1 is a girl people assume our lives are going to be miserable and that my hubby is so upset. Uh no, he got over that on the car ride home from the appointment. We love our little girly girl and can't wait to have more. Plus, it's easy because we didn't have to buy anything but another car seat! Can you say cost effective? Lol
It sometimes surprises me how little some people know about biology.
Well my appt with the specialist gave me a little bit of anxiety. Dr. thinks the girls will be here in 2 weeks! They put me off work and I am most likely getting the steroid shot that strengths the babies lungs. This is all becoming very real very fast!
