A check in for the expecting Mom's of Multiples and those of us who have Multiples, so we can answer any questions about a multiples pregnancy, etc!
How far along are you? What size are the babies?
Any appointments this week/last? How did it go?
How are you feeling?
What rants/raves/questions/advice?
QOTW: How are your parents/in-laws handling/reacting to your pregnancy? Is the the first/fifth grandchild, etc?

They also gave me the bottle of orange "juice" to drink at the appointment they scheduled in 4 weeks. Yay sugar. I've been dreading this drink (when i was a kid i had some issues with my GI track and i remember how nasty drinking that chalky drink was and how it would actually make me sick so I was worried that this drink would be similar) but a few of my college friends who are pregnant said that it tasted like flat orange soda or kool-aid, so i'm not as worried about it as much.
Question: can i put the glucose drink in the fridge and drink it cold? or should i keep it at room temp?
Rant: Did anyone else read that Toys R Us (and by extension) Babies R Us filed for Chapter 11 last night? I'm now glad that we chose BuyBuyBaby for the registry and not BRU! But I hope if i get any gifts that come from there (since they're usually a bit cheaper for the same item than BBB) if it's anything we want to return that we will have time before the stores close (if they close!)
ETA: words are hard.
Im 15wks4d with b/g di/di twins! They are the size of oranges or hass avocados!
ob appointment on Thursday for cervical length check ultrasound. I will check back after this appointment to update.
i was starting to feel pretty good until a few days ago when i started waking up in the middle of the night and not falling asleep until its about time to get up.
none at moment
i come from a big family so there are many grands and great grands on my side. My mom passed away back in 2015 so she will only be here is spirit for these grands. Im sure she would have been thrilled. There are several on his side as well. This will be my mother-in-laws 11th and 12th grandkids. They are happy and cant wait to meet them.
@caseyw8784 yes you can put the glucose drink in the fridge! They actually keep it in a fridge at the lab. No i didnt hear that,but i hope not because they give a multiples discount if you buy 2 of the same thing at 100.00 or more. I mean its only 10% but if you get them while they are on sale as well its even better.. im dreading the awful glucose test!! I guess at least you will get to see the twins more so thats a + !!
I am ti the point now where a half day is about max for me before I am exhausted , and my back feels like it's going to explode . So I know my limits which is good . I get stuff done in the morning and relax in the afternoon so I don't over do it . ( not my personality at all)
I wosh i sh I had a maid and a dinner fairy who showed up every day
first set of twins in the family , total surprise . My older sister did ivf and implanted 2 eggs, 2 separate times and finally got her one sweet baby boy so we were all expecting her to have the twins . These will make 8 grandkids for my parents, oldest turns 9 in December which is think it awesome!! And it makes number 4 and 5 for the in laws . My sil kids are 15 and 13, and DD is 18 months so spread apart
@caseyw8784,I felt the same when I heard about it today! Hoping to get discounts more so now..
@ecolton01 @britmanering73 - i took a pic on my bump looking down this morning when i took my pic for hdbd, and it's a little lopsided too! it's so weird....hahah!
FTM here, and first grandchildren on both sides! my mom is really excited but my MIL is totally freaking out, we are her only shot at grandchildren.
I'm 25 weeks, 4 days. I have a couple rutabagas!
I went in on Tuesday to get my bile acid levels checked, because the soles of my feet have become really itchy, especially at night. So cholestasis is a concern. Hopefully we can rule it out (waiting on results).
I think they've been going through a growth spurt. I'm feeling extra sore, and round ligament pain is flaring up more often. They're also moving a lot more, which is fun! I can't believe that, as big as I am, I'm going to keep getting bigger. Strangers keep asking me if it's almost time. No, no it's not.
After next week, I'm going to a part time schedule at work for the month of October, then going on leave the first full week in Nov. I'm so tired, and ready to wind down work stuff.
@seltzerinstead I started feeling movement just recently, around 22-23 weeks. I also have an anterior placenta. Just flutters at first. By now, I can see my belly jump from some of the kicks! If I rest my hand on my belly, they sometimes try to kick it, like they don't want the weight on them! I expect these are going to be two very willful little girls.
These are the first grandchildren for my parents, who are over the moon! When they found out I was pregnant, they started coming to my house when we were at work to do random yard work and stuff, so eager to start helping!
7 IUIs, 7 BFNs.
2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs.
Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire.
Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus!
fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP!
Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)
