    16 Weeks 3 days

    2. Any recent appointment updates? 

    Just found out we are having 2 boys! Next appointment will be on the 12th for our anatomy scan

    3. How are you feeling?

    I’m feeling alright but I’m just lazy and want to watch tv all day. My 3 year old makes this hard. 

    4. Did  you buy anything for the babies this week?

    I picked up car seats for the boys. $63 a piece on Amazon! 

    5. Do multiples run in your family?

    my maternal grandfather was a twin. My husbands grandma has twin brothers and his half sister has twin boys.

    @totalcword When I was pregnant with my girls, I bought something like this and I can not tell you how much it helped me.  I worked in the ER at the time so I was on my feet all day, and I could tell within an hour how different I felt if I didn't wear it for whatever reason.  Definitely something to look into!

    13.6 Latest due date 5/17 at 38 weeks. We know at least one is a boy. Have our anatomy scan Jan 3rd

    2. Any recent appointment updates? 

    Just routine appointments. Babies are doing good. I have had a SCH for 2 1/2 weeks now so it's a little annoying. Just hoping it's gone soon.

    3. How are you feeling?

    pretty good for the most part 

    4. Did  you buy anything for the babies this week?

    We've been trying 3 years to get pregnant so have bought some things yes, hard not to. Bought our cribs and double stroller due to great holiday sales.

    5. Do multiples run in your family?

    Nope, my twin cousins were a result of Clomid. Our babies are an IVF success :)

    @doubleblessings1124 how often are they doing ultrasounds? I’ve had an ultrasound at every appointment I’ve had so I just asked at the last one I had (16w2d) If she could tell me the sexes. I’m impatient though haha.

    @lincbeesmom So far have had one at every appointment (monthly) only due to me asking. Just like the reassurance with the SCH. My next appt is at 17 weeks and I'm hoping they'll do another!

    @totalcword @doubleblessings1124 is there a reason they’re not letting you go past a certain date? Obviously I know I won’t make it to my due date (I had preeclampsia with my son and had him at 37 weeks) but my doctor hasn’t mentioned anything about not letting me go past a certain date.

    18 weeks. EDD- May 5th. Sexes - not known yet,  but we'll find out at the anatomy scan on 12/11.

    2. Any recent appointment updates? 
    Nope - everyone is doing great so far! They're di-di twins, separate everything. I was kind of surprised I have a month between appointments (last appt was 11/13, I don't go back until 12/11).

    3. How are you feeling?
    Surprisingly well. I just can't get over how large my belly is for only being 18 weeks. It's fun to compare pictures at 18 weeks with my son vs 18 weeks with twins!

    4. Did  you buy anything for the babies this week?
    Not yet.

    5. Do multiples run in your family?
    Not at all. They were conceived naturally, and we are still in shock!

    When I was pregnant with my girls, they told me they wouldn't let me go past 37 weeks.  It's considered full term for twins, and there are a lot of studies about increased complications during birth past that point.  My water broke at 35+2 anyway so it didn't matter.

    Similar- my doctor told me 38 weeks is considered term for twins. Although most things I've read say 37! So who knows

    I'm looking for a private group for mommas pregnant with twins. Any suggestions?

    None that I know of. This group will probably move to Facebook eventually but will not be exclusively for the twin moms.
