    Week/Fruits: 36 week honeydew

    Twin Type (Identical/Fraternal/etc): fraternal boy/girl

    Symptoms: TIRED and pretty sore. My vagina is aching and so are my hips. Never have I been so tired and although I've felt pretty good for most of my pregnancy... People are really starting to get on my nerves.

    Appointment AW: dr apt on wed. No more ultrasounds for me. C section is booked for May 26.

    Questions/Comments/Complaints/Concerns: just hoping my blood pressure doesn't go up again:

    My filter is gone and it feels good to say whatever I want. Hmmm yesterday a fellow bridesmaid suggested we take a road trip to Florida for my friends bachelorette party, I said " I would rather kill myself than take a road trip to Florida" hahaha I guess that was kind of rude, I take it back ;)

    Week/Fruits: 36 weeks: honeydew

    Twin Type (Identical/Fraternal/etc): Di/Di girls

    Symptoms: Sore abdomen, sciatica pain in my left side (baby A is very low), so tired even though I do absolutely nothing all day long

    Appointment AW: appointment this thursay for growth us and check with doctor. She's gonna start checking my cervix every week. yeah....

    Questions/Comments/Complaints/Concerns: I feel like I'm just waiting to go into labor, like anticipating it. When we seen a specialist he thought I would go into labor at 34 weeks...now I'm 36 weeks. I know that they don't know evrything but it really screwed up my head, but I'm happy I've not went into labor.
  • Week/Fruits: 34weeks butternut squash

    Twin Type (Identical/Fraternal/etc): fraternal boys

    Symptoms: Braxton hicks, that's about it.

    Appointment AW: appt tomorrow. group B strep will be done tomorrow yuck.

    Questions/Comments/Complaints/Concerns: I'm on home modified bedrest and so worried that my water will break while I'm home alone. Baby A is very low and I'm afraid if that happens I won't have much time!
  • Week/Fruits: 35 coconuts

    Twin Type (Identical/Fraternal/etc): di/di girls

    Symptoms: Horrible back/hip pain! I'm just exhausted all the time. Swelling started in my ankles and hands. Had to take off 2 of my rings, but thankfully my wedding set still fits. Braxton hicks, headaches, and leg cramps.

    Appointment AW: Nothing until next week. Group b strep test, bpp u/s and doctors visit.

    Questions/Comments/Complaints/Concerns: Still working 40 hours a week. On my feet all day, so I put them up as soon as I get home. I feel bad that I don't have the energy to spend running around with my 2 year old. We still have fun, I just can't play the way I used to.

    I guess the only thing I can think of is to my poor DH. It was back when I was around maybe 16-18 weeks. I had horrible morning sickness and the smell of hamburger helper made me throw up. He only made it when I wasn't home at night due to the fact. Well one night for supper he made our son and I mac and cheese. We didn't have enough for all of us, so he warmed up some leftover hamburger helper. The smell made me so sick, I yelled at him and told him he needed to go into another room to eat. He was upset at the time, but it did make me throw up. He realized then that I wasn't trying to be a bitch, but that it literally made me sick. I just could've gone about it in a much nicer way than chewing him out.

    Week/Fruits: 33 Durian - ya know I bet more Google results would bring up these forums than an actual fruit if I even tried to figure out what a durian is

    Twin Type (Identical/Fraternal/etc): fraternal

    Symptoms: same old - swollen lady bits, leaky boobs, sciatica, heartburn, migraines, BH, only new ones are a huge increase in discharge. Twins dropped on Sat & lost some of my mucus plug

    Appointment AW: Nothing this wk

    Questions/Comments/Complaints/Concerns: Anyone else hit a wall around week 33? I feel like hibernating until I deliver.

    GTKY: I peed myself about 5x on my birthday & everyone knew why I kept changing my clothes lol

    I totally hit a wall at 33 weeks. That's when the doctor put me off and I even ended up taking leave 2 days earlier than that. I was so tired and uncomfortable. Being off work has really helped me, we're almost there :)

    @jjvanwagner25 it's crazy to think that we're all within the last stretch already. I'm not in a rush for ours to get here. Hell, we're hardly prepared for them lol but it's starting to sink in that we've reached the window where they can come any day now. We never found out the sexes of our twins and have hard a hard time picking out 4 different names that we can commit to (with the possibility of 2 boys, 2 girls, or our top 2 of a boy and girl name)
  • Week: 34

    Fraternal team green

    Symptoms: General soreness--legs, back, stomach (when a baby sticks its butt in my ribs)

    Appointments: nst went well today, c section scheduled for June 11 (38 weeks). I haven't had any indications that I'll go earlier than that, but since I'm getting into the homestretch I'm getting nervous (and aware that I could go at any time!).

    Questions: who's having a scheduled c section? At how many weeks? Do you think you'll make it that long, or do you think you'll go into labor sooner?

    I'm having a scheduled c section on May 26, my doctor gave me a choice on mode of delivery and I feel it's safest and the most controlled environment ( for me) I will be 37 weeks 6 days and I think I will make it to the c section date- I am having some issues with high blood pressure and every time I go to the doctor I think they are going to admit me. We will see how things go this afternoon at my apt. I'm 36 weeks today and I am starting to feel " ripe"

    No scheduled c section for me yet! Girls are both head down thank goodness! I really want to have them vaginally but I know that could change in an instant and I'm ok with that.
    Good luck @Emilywooddesign at your appointment! My biggest fear is going into an appointment and them sending me to L&D!

    Thanks girl! Although it is also a fear of mine to be admitted to labor and delivery- I am happy that I've made it this far and I know the babies would hopefully be quite healthy and developed at this stage. I better pack my hospital bag this afternoon hahaha. Can the babes still move this late in the game? Baby b is breech for me and I don't want her going into distress if I try for vaginal- plus, ouch.

    My doctor thinks they are pretty much staying where they are now, but there's no guarantee! I don't blame you, if one of my babes was breech or transverse I'd definitely being getting a c section too! No reason to risk it in my eyes or the chance to have one vaginally and then one by c section.....no thanks!
  • @423ang I have a scheduled c-section scheduled for 38w1d. I had to have an emergency c-section with our son, so they want to take no chances with twins. I'm ready, and can't even imagine going 40 weeks with them. About 3 weeks to go is all now. :)
    @Emilywooddesign Yes they can still move at this point! I didn't figure they could, but I found it they can first hand. Somewhere between 32 weeks and 34 weeks mine went from both being head down to now both being transverse. So it's a good thing they have my c-section scheduled, because we have no clue how they'll end up.

    Praying mine are both head down still! I'll see tomorrow!

    @Emilywooddesign I'm sorry if I jinxed you yesterday but glad you and babies are doing good :) praying for a quick NICU visit!
  • vflor87vflor87 member
    So exciting! June twin mamas are staying to deliver!!

    Did anyone else start to feel crampy after week 33? I've been up since 4 with lower abdominal cramping but the contractions are sporadic so I'm not convinced it's worth a trip to L&D yet. A lot of what I've read about twin labor says that sometimes you feel more menstrual cramping than strong contractions so I'm taking it easy and drinking a ridiculous amount of water, but I've only had 3 periods since the end of 2012 & can't tell if this is a growing pain (like round ligament) or what

    @Emilywooddesign well I jinxed myself! I am set to be induced tomorrow at 6am due to baby a having low fluid. I'm so excited to meet them :) Glad your LOs are still doing good!

    @vflor87 I was crampy from like 30 weeks. When I told my doctor she said crampy is good, just your body preparing itslef. I felt like drinking a ton of water and resting and changing positions often helped.
  • vflor87vflor87 member
    @jjvanwagner25 thank you! And good luck & CONGRATS in advance! Can't wait to hear how it goes :)
