  • Im 25 weeks today with twins. One boy one girl! Doing very well. Belly is getting round and feet are starting to do some swelling. I finally get to enjoy my pregnancy. Went through alot up until now. Everything all good though now. Feeling them have their dance parties or wrestling hahah...like to think dancing. I cant believe how close to meeting them it is. It seemed like the beginning took so long. Glad your doing well. Dont burn yourself out. I know 12s would kill me at this point.

    Ugh! I typed a nice paragraph and when I posted.... Nothing!
    25 weeks 5 days with twin girls. Feeling great just very nervous about preterm labor. I had my first daughter during my 6th month of pregnancy so my OB has decided to put me on a hormone prescription which causes severe constipation (oh yay!) so other than that all is well & hopefully they stay in their for another 10 weeks!
  • Im plodding on and 24 weeks tomorrow which is a mile stone for us as we have been living with Twin to Twin Transfusion syndrome since week 16.... meaning we have to take a 5 hr trip down to London for monitoring every week.

    Im having twin girls and looking forwards to our first 4D scan tomorrow... it will be so nice to see their faces tomorrow rather than just a profile. Im feeling fine in myself and only 10-11 weeks left.... still so much to do... and havent even finalised names eeek! :-)
  • I'm 26+1 with boy/girl twins. I'm feeling huge lately (it's been warmer than usual). I feel good most of the time, except when my little lady is up in my ribs (like right now). Im going for growth scans every 4 weeks, in addition to doctor's appointments every 3. I need my babies to turn (transverse right now) so I can attempt a natural delivery. We are also moving into our new house on Monday. We've been renovating for 6 weeks!
  • Hello ladies! 22 weeks with twin girls! Feeling great right now and feel like my belly is growing every day! Love when these little ladies kick at the same time, such an amazing feeling. Wondering how long they will still in there and trying to get as organized as possible in case they come early! I can't wait to meet them!
  • 25w with girls!! Baby showers finished, nursery close to ready and I feel great! Waiting for the giant belly to kick in...not that I want it!

    23w with girls. Most days I feel okay, just large and tired!
  • 24 weeks today, boy/girl. It's day 16 of hospital bed rest... 6mm cervix and some small contractions every day.

    How I feel depends on the day... physically, I'm fine. Mentally... ehhhhh. Horrifying to feel like every time I stand up, they might fall out. It's also tough to stay when they admit that bed rest hasn't been proven to help at all. I'm definitely more stressed here away from my home and husband and the peace, but I suppose it's best to be here if I happen to go into labor.

    But! At least we met the 24 week goal the doctors set. Next is 28, then 30. Personally, I'm shooting for the 34 weeks that I was originally told to expect them... 10 to go!
  • 24 and 3 with b/g twins and feeling exhausted! Never been a napper but feel like I need a 1-2 hour nap everyday now! Otherwise feeling well. I've been taken down from 4 10h days to 7h. Anyone else's dr said anything about when to stop working?
  • When I told my OB that I was planning to leave work in mid August (c section will be in sept) she kind of went "oh" like she didn't think I'd last that long! LOL! But no limits have been placed on me yet.
