TWINS Baby Girl due October 20th, 2019.
We had a scan on the 8th and there were still 2 just chillin'!
We got to see and hear the heartbeats, which I was surprised! Baby A was 160 and Baby B was 158.
My OB is confident enough in how things are progressing that she said we could wait 4 weeks till the next appt. So I'll go back on April 5th.
She also said I'll be getting a scan (most likely abdominal) at every appt to check heartbeats of each baby.

We are starting to settle into the idea of TWO babies at the same time. While we've been excited (we had been trying for 5 years to get pregnant with #2), we've also been overwhelmed. haha

As for me, I woke up with a sore throat and headache and nausea, I’m assuming because we went so many places this weekend that had tons of people like the aquarium and the church nursery and so on. But I was playing with DS this morning and he looked like he was about to jump on me and I said “please be careful, mommy feels sick” and he just looks at me, then straddles my back and bounces up and down yelling “sick sick sick!” 🤦🏼♀️ This is two haha
My 2yo is a tummy jumper, too. If I manage to get him to successfully not bounce on me, I'll let you know!
-Upon telling her she began rubbing my pelvis, and then said, "I can touch your belly, right?!" WELP. A) you already are, B ) no, I'd prefer you not, as there's nothing to feel yet, and C) that's a little south of my "belly"
-she asked multiple times and in multiple ways if this was planned. "Was it a surprise?" "Was it planned?" "Was it expected?" She didn't seem to believe us that we intended to get pregnant. 😐
-she stated at least 10 times during our 24 hour visit that I should make sure to exercise and eat healthy every single day since it will help me "bounce back quickly and get my figure back."
If this was a test, I think I passed, because I was totally patient with her and never once clocked her in the face!! #winning
@prpl11butterfly My MIL asked to be in the delivery room too! I thought it was pretty forward of her... I told DH I have to think about it, I'm just not sure I'm comfortable with anyone but him and my mom in there. How did you respond to yours?

My mom asked if she could be in the delivery room when DS was born. It was so hard to tell her no but I’m glad I did. This time I may have her there for more of the labor but for me it’s important for us to have those first moments as our little family

@galentine Does your DH know his mom is... inappropriate at times?
My MIL is craycray (but I mostly totally love her, especially how wonderful she is with my kids) and my DH completely knows she is cuckoo. He actually puts her in her place sometimes on my behalf. She tried to sneak into my delivery room the first time and MY MOM HAD TO STOP HER. Awkward. This is why she wasn't called until after DS2 had already arrived the second time around.

When our first child was born, I thank God that a good bit of our family had made it to the hospital. He was born not breathing and shortly after we found out that he had CDH and would be airlifted to our local children’s hospital that was still well over 100 miles away. It gave me the opportunity to have my husband go with our baby to the nursery as they tried to figure out what was wrong and also to go to the hospital with him as he was airlifted and I still had my mother and close family there to support me until they decided how to best split up to support both of us. We live in a small town so the hospital I deliver at is 1 hour north of where we live and the children’s hospital is almost 2 hours south. If you live close to where you’ll be delivering this might not be an issue for you. But I was super thankful to have them there in those moments.
I'd never let MIL be there because I don't think it's appropriate for MIL to view the show of all my goods on display. Luckily, ILs live halfway across the world. I'm sorry for those of you that have crazy MILs, especially ones that live close.
I totally agree with you about people being at the hospital for support, etc. and I'm so glad you had that during your experience!
