Part 4: Due January, February & March 2019

[Thinkingofthree]

I’m due 4/5 so my info is up in that group but people here are so honest about their GD I really appreciate it. I’m having my third boy and I’m so sad about it. My almost 4 year old has been really hard lately and so it’s just driving home the feelings of sadness even more because all I’m doing is growing another little boy who’s going to be just as much of a pain and will be into trucks and dinosaurs and all things boy. My house is filled with boy stuff and I just wanted a daughter who I could hope to relate to a bit more. I’m going to be surrounded by people who are obsessed with things I don’t care about for the next 20 years.
Lately I’ve been having bad thoughts about baby too. Not that I would actually do anything to hurt him but thoughts like if something went horribly wrong it wouldn’t be so bad because then we could adopt or go ht. I so wish we’d adopted or gone ht. My feelings have worsened because every person I know who’s pregnant is having a girl and I don’t have any friends with only boys. So no one understands. I fooled myself into thinking I’d be okay with another boy if my sway didn’t work out. I had gd with my second boy as well and mostly got over it when he was born. So I know in theory I’ll mostly get over it when then one is born. But I also know part of me will always ache for a girl.

Hi ladies! It’s been quiet on here...
I’ve definitely been suffering from depression, these pregnancy hormones are just awful and do such horrible things to us. I hope childbirth alleviates these feelings, for all of us.

TP, if you are at rock bottom, and feel convinced it’s a girl, have you considered finding out? Maybe you’re worrying and LO is a boy, or maybe, worst case scenario it is a girl and DD will be so excited, she’ll cheer you up or you can boost yourself with her energy and excitement. Of course, you know what’s best for you, I just hope you feel better soon

Thinkingofthree and SBB, I’m sorry sorry GD is getting you so bad, we’re all here for you! XOXOX

[Pretty]

Eighme, I do hope you’re able to get a good pic. I think it really helps with bonding, I have only gotten one good one but I often look at it when feeling down...

[Pretty]

And I will say, even though my son is into plenty of things that I’m not (video games, computers, action movies, etc) we actually have so much in common!! We didn’t when he was younger but now that he’s a teenager we really are just alike. Every once in a while he gets out of his comfort zone to do/try/watch something that I enjoy and it’s absolutely heartwarming. I’ve actually been thinking about how much I will miss some of this with a girl, and it terrifies me. Boys are very different as older kids, so even though when they’re young and it’s trucks and cars everywhere, it’s so much better when they’re older.

Hi Pretty,
Im sorry you’re feeling depressed, I saw your sway was successful... is the depression mainly because of pregnancy hormones?
Depression does run in my family and Im always very wary of any symptoms.. cause once you’re in too deep its hard to detect it for yourself

Hi there, I’m actually extremely upset over finding out I have HPV, which I’m sure I’ve had for many years, but apparently pregnancy can make it pop up. It’s low risk type, so definitely possible to pass along to LO and I’m devastated about the thought of that happening. I feel so guilty I’ve had regrets about even conceiving.

[simkan]

Tp I'm still holding out that you're having a boy! Please remember you're dreaming that you're having a girl because its weighing on you.

I've been in such a daze with so much going on I can't remember what I wrote last or not. But had the op 2 weeks ago and every night I dream I'm in labor. Because that was the risk. I'm sort of in the clear from the OP,but still worries about it.

My mucus plug came out. Like alot... for days it kept coming and baby is very engaged. Ultrasound tech suspects her head is pluggon the cervix so I'm worried shes going to move. But also the pain is so bad I want her to move also cuz I can barely walk from the hip pain.

A bit of on update. The mass they removed was stage 3 cancer. They're confident they got it all but still need chemo. The chemo is safe for baby but obviously not happy... but I'm ok. Just need to get through it all.

So sorry to hear that.. I think timing is on your side, I bet your beautiful daughter will be negative with HPV and it is a blessing you didn’t find out before because then you wouldn’t have wanted another baby. And children are God’s biggest luxury he can ever give us.
Please believe and think positive, and I will pray for you.. even if I don’t know you but I hate people going through a rough mental/emotional time and you didn’t do anything bad on purpose.

Big hugs

Hi Pretty,

I have HPV as well. And it rears it’s ugly head during my pregnancies. Was a bit of a shock the first time around that’s for sure. The only way you can pass it on... is if you have warts at the time of a vaginal birth. And even then it’s VERY uncommon. To reduce the risk, you can just get the wArts frozen off pre birth. I have had to do this with both my previous pregnancies.

So please don’t stress. Everything will be ok xx

Oh wow Simkan! I’m so glad you ended up having it removed then. Chemo sounds very daunting... I’m glad you’re ok. Will they induce you early even though it’s safe for baby?

Simkan and Pretty im sorry about your health problems. I hope you and babies will be fine:pray:
Thinkingofthree i can feel your GD disappointment:( what about adopt small baby girl later after your third son is born?
I wish everyone can get their dreaming gender of baby:LotsofLove:

[Eighme]

Thinking, I'm so sorry you're feeling this way! GD is such an ugly feeling. It's so conflicting between being sad and guilty.

We are.all definitely understanding of this, so please feel free to join us here!

Pretty and Simkan, I'm also so sorry for the major things you are going through. I can't even imagine either of those scenarios and I'm so sorry pregnancy is the time you have to endure them. I'm sending all my love!

Big hugs and love to all of you. I don’t have the words because I’ve struggled with PPD since DS2 was born (for reasons other than gender), but wanted you all to know you’re not alone. [emoji172]

Simkan - one of my best friends had breast cancer when she was pregnant with her 2nd son and did radiation during his pregnancy. He obviously had more follow up appointments and developmental screenings just to double check, but he’s a happy and healthy and smart little 5 year old now! Big hugs and sending strength to you during this time - I can’t imagine how scary that would be.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThey gave me the option of inducing at 32 weeks and starting chemo after or starting chemo in a couple of weeks (29/30 weeks) and stopping it at 36 weeks for 2 weeks and inducing me at 38. I've chosen the second option as the effects on the baby are safer on chemo and staying in till 38 than coming as early as 32. However she could decide to come anytime between now and then anyway. :/

Oh simkan I am so sorry for what you are going through!! It sounds like you are getting excellent medical care and treatment... you and your daughter will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you so much for the support ladies, it means a lot and I feel so alone. I don’t have anyone I can talk to besides DH and he’s on such a baby high he’s oblivious to my concerns. I’ve not made it through a doctors appointment without a complete breakdown and she is very dismissive of my fears. I love my doctor but have been seriously considering finding someone else, but that just seems so daunting given I’m in the third trimester. I still don’t think I’ve gotten over the initial shock of having it, so the pregnancy hormones are just making the impact so much worse. Mumma, when did your doctor do treatments? I honestly don’t know if I actually need any anymore, I’m way to scared to look or feel and honestly DH and I haven’t had sex at all because of my discomfort level (emotional, not physical).

I’m so sorry to vent so much, I know we are all facing our own battles, it’s just such a huge relief to not feel alone. Maybe even half the battle, thank you so much ladies. I hope and pray for the best, for all of us. XOXO

I have everything crossed for you that you don’t need any more treatments and that it stays away for the rest of your pregnancy.
My dr treated me at around 35-36wks for a couple of wks so it didn’t have time to resurface.

My 20 week scan is in 3 days and I am really hoping the SCH has cleared up and the placenta previa is resolved. After the genetic testing I know there is no chance of baby being a girl, and having 2 boys is hard to imagine, especially with my husband being stressed and down about having a second kid. I keep wondering if my miscarriage this time last year was a girl.
Feeling baby kicks is reassuring, though. I hope I feel connected when he is born. With my first it took awhile to feel connected, I think the unexpected Cesarean made a difference.

Simkan what a tough time you are going through. I really hope your little lady stays put for a while longer and that you get through the chemo ok without feeling too horrible. Chemo isn't nice at the best of times but I imagine it will be quite tough being pregnant at the same time. Rest as much as you can, praying both you and Bub will get through this safe and healthy.

Eighme, surrounded, TP, thinkingofthree and gafan I wish I could say something that would help ease the GD but I know from my experience with DS2 that nothing really helps ease it. Hopefully when you get to hold your beautiful bubs when they are born you fall in love and the pain lessens but I know that longing for your DG never really goes away. TP I am still hopeful that you get your little boy.

Pretty I hope you are doing ok and that your depression doesn't get too bad and that you don't have any complications with the HPV. Depression is hard to deal with when you are pregnant as the pregnancy hormones definitely mess you around. I have been suffering from PND since soon after the birth of DS2 and had to start on antidepressants just before I found out I was pregnant this time. I stopped them once I found out I was pregnant but have had to restart them again now as I am a mess at the moment and just cry/get upset all the time and just don't have the patience to cope very well with my 2 boys at the moment. I was hoping to not need to restart them as I do worry about the impact on Bub but drs say the one I am on is safe but I still worry. I really hope everyone else is doing ok. Scary to think some of us will be meeting our bubs in the next 2-3 months.
My little lady is continuing to grow slowly (has made up a bit of ground in the last 4 weeks) so only need scan in 4 weeks now (will be 36 weeks). Was worried she would be really small, now hoping she doesn't have a massive growth spurt and end up as big as DS2 (9 pound 3!)

[gafan]

My 20 week scan today showed placenta previa and SCH are resolved - healthy baby! He is still a boy, obviously, but I know I will eventually be ok with that. Halfway there.

gafan, that's great news! I'm following your posts since you and I have the same due date ;) I'm sorry you didn't hear what you hoped for, but as you said yourself, you'll be fine!! I've been there myself ...few times. It's hard at the beginning, but then you can't imagine life without your "failed sway" baby :awe:

Thank you and welcome to the group!

[simkan]

Hi ladies, so huge surprise... after 3 weeks in hospital recovering from the surgery I was discharged. Home for one day and woke up with contractions. They didn't feel like I remember labor contractions to feel but were exactly 6 minutes apart. Back to hospital and sure enough I was in labor.
Our little lady was born at 1.44am on 15/11/2018, at exactly 28 weeks, weighing 1.2kg. Shes doing well. Breathing on her own. Not suckling but taking breastmilk through a pipe into her tummy.
We've named her Tia, middle name Zana. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181118/dfaa40ee01c2da81e04d0b879f39c972.jpg

Ladies, I had a random question, and it may be a question for my OB. I was talking to my sister in law and she said all she had to go was ask her OB to sign off on returning to work after 8 weeks and they did.

Is that really how simple it is? Just asking? My work will give me the standard 6 weeks, but 8 would be amazing but I thought it had to be due to medical complications. I didn't think that sounded like FMLA but I could be wrong.

Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

[Pretty]

Hi there! My doctor put 6 as well but I confirmed with HR that I am entitled to 12 under FMLA, not sure if your company’s policies are different due to pay during that time (all 12 weeks are unpaid for me) but honestly I don’t plan on going back after, that’s a secret though lol

Hey ladies - I've been MIA... we've been super busy and I've just been very, very tired so I haven't been on here much :( I've missed so much going on here!

Simkan - First of all, huge congrats!! She is beautiful and it sounds like she's doing really well!!! Second, WOW what an ordeal you have been through! I'm so sorry for all you've had to go through with the surgery and tumor and then premature labor. Hope you are able to get a little rest and take care of yourself, even though I know it's probably a very stressful time still. Thinking & praying for you! Our first baby born on this due date board! I know she'll do great and grow strong quickly!!

Gafan so glad the SCH resolved!!! Wonderful news!!!

Eighme - If I remember correctly I think the standard is 6 weeks for a vaginal delivery and 8 weeks for a c-section. Hopefully you can convince your doctor to write 8 for you :)

Welcome aira!!!

Hope everyone else is doing well!! We're less than two months away from the January due date ladies - so exciting!! My c-section is scheduled for January 22nd (due date is February 4 but they wont let me go past 38 weeks). Still think these little ones will come early than that though!

[Raining]

Hey Ladies,

I’ve been quiet lately. Super busy planning the nursery and just life! :D

Simkan - congrats! She’s beautiful and I’m so glad she’s doing well.
Eighme - I plan on taking 4 months (extended FMLA). I think anyone is entitled to the standard FMLA of 3 months to use as maternity leave.

I need to catch up on all the posts, but I hope everyone is doing well. I can’t wait until more babies start arriving! :HH:

Gafan that's great news about the SCH!! What a weight off your mind!

Aira welcome aboard :)

ABC wow wow wow! Having your date must make it so real!!! I don't think I'll believe I'm having two until you have your two first!!! X

I'm so so so sorry to hear so many of us are experiencing a hard time with GD. It's an absolute mind f##k and I wouldn't wish it on anyone! I hope all find peace [emoji170][emoji173]

As for us, my twins are doing well. They are right on target at the moment. I'm 21+5. Genders were confirmed today, definitely a boy and a girl. I don't feel as joyous as I had previously thought I would but I'm starting to think that's cause I'm more anxious this time around with the added worry of there being two in there. Also I don't think I'll believe there's a girl in there until she is actually here. Despite her blatant display of her lady parts today lol! Our little man was much more modest which surprised me. He had his legs firmly crossed and we couldn't see his parts until a slight flash at the end of the scan lol.

I can't believe we will be seeing these little ones in the coming weeks I'm 29 weeks now and feeling huge!

[SurroundedByBoys]

I took a bit of a break again as well... I lost my grandfather on Monday and its really broken me down. It was worse because my doctor didnt want me to travel the distance for his funeral which is today. I'll be 30 weeks on Monday, and thats when my next ultrasound is. Hoping for a 3D shot of little mans face.

My grandfathers name was Clarence Eugene, so we think we have officially named LO Caiden Elijah,

Huge congrats on that gorgeous little girl. <3

Sorry to all not feeling well, suffering GD, and your loss as well kitten.

All my pink dust to you noemi xxx I still can't believe I have a son (still feel strange saying it!) He is a dream come true :)

[ABC.2606]

Hopper YAAAY for confirming gender!! And you're getting a GIRL, YAY! I know it still feels hard to believe but since you'll be having a lot of ultrasounds I assume you'll believe it soon enough :) I'm getting so excited about my B/G twins - it really is a special thing!!!

Surrounded and Kitten - so sorry for your losses :(

Surrounded how did your ultrasound go today? Hope you got a good shot of little man! Caiden Elijah is a beautiful name!!! I think Caiden goes great with your other little boys' names as well!!

BBB so good to hear from you!!!! Glad you are enjoying your precious little man! I'm still so happy you got your boy!! My twins are doing well - 30 weeks today. C-section is scheduled for 8 weeks from tomorrow and while time is moving a lot faster now, I just want them here!! Little girl is WAY more active than little boy, although I still think a lot of their movements are still being blocked by the position of my placentas (both anterior). I get another growth ultrasound next week to see how big they are now :) :) Excited!

I have a stupid cold and sore throat - boys have been sick too. I truly truly hate this part of winter :( And being sick while 30 weeks pregnant with twins is just unfair!

Noemi I still have everything crossed that this is your baby girl!! How far along are you now?

TP I hope you're doing OK!

How is everyone else doing?? Simkan - how is Tia doing?

[Throwaway_panther]

I don't know why any of you would be excited to see what I'm having lol. It's gotta be a girl. I've had constant, vivid dreams of it being a girl. It's over man. I'm so depressed and regretting ever doing any of this. Meanwhile, DH has gone full vegan. Woo. So feel like this ship has full on sailed.

simkan, I hope you are recovering well from everything -- I am so sorry to see I missed such tumultuous news. <3 I wish there was something I could do to help you and your family while you deal with cancer AND now a premie! She is so beautiful though!

So sorry for your losses kitten and Surrounded. <3

Because you have no ultrasound confirmation and no blood test that says what you are having. If you stay team green you will find out only when you have pushed that sweet little baby out. Stupid dreams!! It's not over man! :cool:

We all have our fingers crossed for your bub to be your boy!! :pray::fingers::DS: So many on this board know you and your story and are following you. So at least 2 more months waiting and hoping IS FREAKING EXCITING for us! LOL :diaper:

Thankfully the little buggers (who were fairly quiet yesterday) are pretty active this morning and it's calming me down a bit. But I've been so anxious and terrified this whole pregnancy about something going wrong that I'm not really surprised I had that dream. Especially as we're getting so close to the end now - and I'm so close to having the daughter I've always wanted - and I think my dream just reflects my fears that I'm going to lose that. And I still think that's what's happening with you. Whether you're carrying a boy or girl I'm sure the reason for your dreams is that you're so anxious about the gender and about it being a girl - you're playing that scenario out in your dreams.

And like aira said, whether you've given up on this being a boy or not, the rest of us haven't!! We're still hoping/believing this will be your boy!! It's not over yet!

Thx u Abc, im looking forward to seeing soon your twins:heart::heart:im already 25 weeks:)

[Noemi2017]

Tp im also thinking and dreaming of my baby’s gender so much...i think it is boy but still try to believe it could be also girl, i dont want to loose my hope. I pray we will be blessed with our dream gender:pray:

[gafan]

ABC I am glad to hear your twins are growing well and kicking.
I have been feeling a lot of kicks too, and he is still small enough that they are pleasant.

Im sorry to say that I did NOT get my 3D picture of little man. He is stubborn as anything, and Im 100% sure he will be either a prankster or a troublemaker. Every single time hes hand his hands over his face... this time, he had a whole LEG up there too.

And Im definitely bumping! Im starting to feel a lot of strain in my hips.

Aww I'm sorry Surrounded!!! My little guy has not given us good face shots on several of our ultrasounds because of the position he's in. And he's still breech and does not seem to have any interest in turning around! So I think I'm got a stubborn man too. And I already have a SUPER stubborn 3 year old... soooo that'll be fun LOL.

Beautiful bump. I am definitely starting to struggle now (35 weeks now) hips ache constantly even at night. Ready to meet this little lady any time now (happy for her to come along anytime from 37 weeks - the sooner the better). Sorry you didn't get your good 3D shot, cheeky little guy.

Hoping everyone else is doing ok, hoping especially that Simkan is coping ok with chemo and little Tia is doing well.

My bump at 35 weeks - feeling like a whale now

Adorable bumps ladies!

[Eighme]

Sorry I haven't been active ladies! This pregnancy is kicking my ass and between work and a toddler I dont have any energy left at the end of the day!

I forgot to drink my water on Sunday and was having steady contractions, that was slightly terrifying because I'm only 27 weeks. But I managed to get them to stop without having to go to the hospital (been there, done that)

Hope all you ladies are well and I can't believe we will start seeing all these precious babies soon!

Oh ladies I love the bumps and the scan pics Surrounded! Sorry your little man wasn't in a good position, my little one doesn't like being in a good position for pics either lol! So annoying!

ABC I'm definitely so excited for our B/G twins. I bought our first little sleepsuits at the weekend for my labour bag. It was so strange to be buying some pink bits after so much blue. I felt like I was cheating on the blue section!! Also, it's awesome getting your section date!! The end is in sight!!!!

TP I'm glad to see you back on. You've crossed my mind often over recent weeks. I totally agree with the other ladies, until you have that little one you don't know either way. The dreams SUCK but like ABC I've had random dreams where something has happened our babies and I truly believe it's just our worst fears haunting our dreams. I truly hope you are indeed having your little boy !

Kelbear so close to meeting your little lady!!!! You look great!

Eighme, those contractions must have been scary. Good on you for getting them under control. You must try take it easy if you can, easier said than done I know ALL about that! X

Here's my bump last week around 22 ish weeks. I'm headed rapidly for 24 now and just too lazy to go take a new one lol! Feeling quite uncomfortable now. I'm officially grown out of all my maternity clothes that I used on previous pregnancies!! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181205/b968ad28f513d688d9d79241b2453cc2.jpg

Love your bumps ladies!
Eighme have you had your iron levels checked recently- mine were non existent so I got an iron infusion at the hospital this week and honestly am feeling better already. I was just plain exhausted from sun up to sun down, had heart palpitations and very very breathless- all signs of severe iron deficiency anaemia. Might be worth a look into? Xx

[Throwaway_panther]

You all look beautiful! I think pregnancy is the biggest body dysmorphia machine, because you all look tiny to me!

Have had a few rounds of contractions but nothing super consistent. Almost looking forward to the pain of labor in an almost self mutilation sense. Very depressed, even more convinced it's a girl and seriously looked into adoption, though that would never happen between DH and DD. Sigh. Why did I do this?

Hope all of your tiredness and anyone's GD gets better. ♡

TP I wish I could give you a big hug and I keep hoping more than anything you have a little boy onboard and get to meet him soon. It is so brutal that GD can strip all the joy away from being pregnant. I hope things do get better for you but also understand it's not that simple and it's going to be a struggle. Sending big hugs.

[Noemi2017]

Tp im also looking for information about adoption...i dont want to loose my hope of baby girl and it helps me. Im praying im pregnant now with her if not i hope to get her in some way later...

[simkan]

Hi ladies. I'm sorry some of you are still struggling with GD. Really hoping it goes away when your babies get here/ those that are team green get what you're hoping for.

Tia is doing well. I managed to pump alot of milk before starting chemo yesterday. So far it's ok... but only a day in so wont get too cocky about it.
She's now on just milk feeds and they took her feeding line out. So so far all good.
I'll add a pic of my milk I froze. I'm quite chuffed with myself for getting this much in about 2.5 weeks.
And a pic of Tia for the cuteness. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181206/7f5190052473ff934662ddaa7eefd1ef.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181206/f77a5936ae40510d75188fe1477c9843.jpg

Just want to say I understand. You still have a 50/50 chance of getting a boy but get that you’ve convinced yourself otherwise. My sway didn’t work and I’m quite depressed about it. At one low point I looked up how late in a pregnancy you can terminate, something I never thought I would do[emoji24]. I so regret not figuring out a way to go high tech. I feel like I don’t want this kid and it kills me that thought even crosses my mind. I try to tell myself pros about having all boys and cons about what a girl would be like but they’re all just lies I tell myself.
I hope you get your boy and your sadness can go away.

[Throwaway_panther]

Oh thinkingofthree, I so relate. I looked it up with DD. I looked it up with this pregnancy. I am very clearly not someone who can deal with the idea of a girl one way or the other... so what's the standard recommendation? To go HT! Which we did that TOO! Twice! I don't and didn't know what else to do... I just know I'll never put myself through this again, Team Green or otherwise, for anything other than a boy, and I don't care what opinions others might have because of that. I said the same thing after DD, but here I am going on 37 weeks... sigh. I really hope your sadness goes away soon and you have the same experience I had with DD at birth -- because I did not want her at ALL. At all. And was instantly in love. It's the whole reason I forced myself to keep this kid regardless -- knowing that its possible to have those feelings, and in the meantime I had 40 awful weeks while pregnant with DD. Though I guess joke's on me, as I've had awful weeks not knowing gender anyway lol

Noemi, you are so sweet and good-hearted that your reply actually made me sad. I looked into adoption to give away this baby, not to get a boy. Though that option is also off the table for DH, and truly, I want a boy that is a part of ME! I so want you to get your girl, you are so kind and wonderful, you so deserve good things <3

[Noemi2017]

Tp thx you for your sweet words:heart: I really understand you and i can imagine your feelings...i wish so much your baby boy for you and i wish you are happy:hugs:

[ABC.2606]

Aww I love all the bump pictures ladies!! I'll try to post one soon - I'm so big now! :(

Eighme that's so scary about the contractions - glad you got them to stop!!!

Simkan WOW what a milk supply!! That's so awesome!! Glad you and Tia are doing well!!!! She's precious!!!!

I'm 32 weeks today and am really getting miserable. I'm so much bigger right now than when I delivered each of my boys at 39 weeks! I'm exhausted all the time and can't get comfortable at night. I have itchy hives that pop up on my stomach off and on all day (and night) that are driving me crazy. Heartburn, constipation, carpel tunnel (apparently that's a common pregnancy thing!) - anyways, I'm struggling! Can't imagine 6 more weeks of it all just getting worse! My c-section is scheduled for 6 weeks from tomorrow - still doubt I'll make it that long but we'll see. I'm already 1-2 cm dilated (my doc checked at my last appointment b/c I have a history of dilating A LOT and WAY in advance of labor). I'm hoping to keep them in at least 4 more weeks but we'll see.

TP and Kelbear OMG your due dates are so soon!!!! Can't believe it! Still sending you all the blue dust and vibes I can, TP!

How's everyone else doing??

[Babybeaublue]

Oh TP I hate that you feel like this:( you just must must must get your boy. I so want you to, and for noemi to have her girl. me and ABC have our dg so now we just need the 2 of you to get yours and the world will be right once again :) xxx

I keep coming back to check on you ladies. TP... I still have hope for you and getting your boy!! You have gone through so much! [emoji170]
ABC.. you are so close now too!

My baby girl is now just shy of 2 months.. where does the time go!? I am completely obsessed. She is the spitting image of her older sister.
Anyway.. cant wait to hear about all these babies being born soon! I cant believe it's been a year since we all were in the TWW trying to conceive.

Good to hear from you Mamabird! Glad you and your new baby girl are doing well! I'm so happy she is here and safe!! You certainly deserve this happiness!!!!

Hope everyone is hanging in there, it gets harder and more uncomfortable as each week passes for me so I'm guessing you are all suffering too as we get closer to our due dates. Hopper and ABC I can't imagine how you are both feeling carrying twins. I am in constant pain carrying one! TP I'm hoping so hard that you get your boy, and I'm sorry you are struggling so much. Noemi I'm also hoping you get your girl.
I had another growth scan yesterday, little lady still small but growing ok. Spoke to OB today, temporarily booked in an induction for 28 th dec just to be on the safe side in case the placenta stops working towards the end. Can't believe my little girl will be here in just over 2 weeks! Seems so surreal.

Now even pediatrician is guessing it's a girl, and DH keeps talking about us not being together because if I'm gloomy, I make him miserable. Meanwhile I've been cooking him his new vegan nonsense nonstop to not even a thank you... I guess at least DD will have a sibling because I truly want to leave after this baby is here. Just leave. He can deal with it all on his own. I'm so tired of this half life.

Sorry to butt in on this thread, I just want to give Throwaway a hug through the forum - you seem like one of the few swayers who seems as desperate as me for a baby boy

It appears you're Team Green? Although your pedi is hinting at DD2, I would keep the faith - at the end of the day it really is a 50/50 chance. The odds aren't great but they aren't terrible either

Is this your last baby? Hate it that your husband seems so unsupportive. My husband chastised me for saying I would be gutted if our #2 was another DD. Sometimes they just don't get it, so keep that in mind when you're interacting with him & hopefully it will take some of the strain off your relationship. Basically minimize the amount of stressors on you right now because you are carrying quite a heavy emotional load <3

[ABC.2606]

Sorry TP - sounds like your DH is being a real jerk again :(. I barely cook at all lately and when I do I expect a thank you from DH - and I’m not even making him special diet foods!

Why is your pediatrician making guesses? Unless he or she has seen your records from your midwife, they don’t know what they’re talking about!!

Thank you all -- so excited for all of you and your babies. Think I'll just need to step away for awhile because I know I'm such a Debbie Downer, and I don't want to keep harshing the site. Was so hoping this would be my break back in April... that seems like such a long time ago :(

[kittendreams]

We are all getting so close! How is everyone dealing with their 3rd trimesters?

I can't believe I will be meeting My little one in under 6 weeks now!
I have a growth scan on Tuesday to check this little ones growth as I have a velamentous cord insertion again ( same as ds2) and they will decide my c section date from that. Either way the doctor said they won't let me go much past 38 weeks again so it's only 6 weeks until all this is over and I can hopefully just move past this pain and fall in love with ds3.

[ABC.2606]

TP I agree with the others. If you feel like you need to step away we understand but don’t feel like you have to because of us. This is still a safe place to vent and we know you’re having a hard time and want to do what we can to support you. And in terms of GD, of course you know you’re in a place here where you’re not alone in your feelings!

Kitten yay!! Sounds like we may end up having our babies around the same time then! I’m scheduled for Jan 22nd and will be 38 weeks - that’s the longest my doc will let twins go. I’m scheduled for a csection too, for a few reasons, and I’ve never had one before. Did you have csections with your other little guys? I’m getting more and more terrified about it - both the surgery and recovery!

Anyone else who has had csections who can tell me how bad it is? LOL. I hear some women say it’s really not that bad and others that say the recovery is pretty awful!

ABC this will be my third c section so I definitely can let you know what to expect. Ask me anything.
Honestly I found my recovery both times really good. The best advice I can give is to get up and move asap afterwards ( when you have been cleared to of course) because you will recover so much quicker even though those first few steps hurt like hell lol!
Keep up with the meds they give you don't miss a dose or you will regret it I promise. With ds1 I tried to tough it out and it wasn't worth it. Ds2 I took them all and was honestly recovered after two weeks and driving after 4 weeks.

I found my second ( elective c section) so calm and beautiful. You are in good hands and not having to face the exhaustion of labour is a real bonus. Ds1 was 60 hours of labour ending in an emergency c section and him not breathing so ds2s delivery was a dream and really helped my emotional state afterwards.

I'm still hoping they let me go to 39 weeks but I know it's not likely so I'm preparing myself ahead of time. Just hope this little one is growing well and the scan goes well on Tuesday!

[Eighme]

I keep getting behind and have to read through to catch up! Sorry if I miss anyone!

Kitten and ABC, congrats on your end in sight! That's the best feeling. Also, yes, I've had my iron levels checked as I'm anemic this pregnancy which is what I believe makes me so tired.

TP, I really appreciate how open and honest you are about your GD feelings. I think it's good to be honest about something that society has made seem so negative.

I am 28 (almost 29 weeks on Saturday) weeks today and took my glucose test, I didn't have any issues with my first son, so I don't foresee any with this but is always nerve-wracking. However, I got, literally, over 30 pictures today of little dude's face. It's the first time we've been able to see him and it makes it a lot more real and I feel like I can bond with him easiser.

So glad you are starting to bond with him eighme. I had gd with ds2 but he is just the light of my life cannot imagine a world without him in it honestly xx

[ABC.2606]

kitten - oh you are a pro then at the c-section thing!! Good to hear that your experiences (especially the 2nd one) haven't been terrible! What happened with your 2nd is one of the reasons I'm going with a csection - there's too high of a possibility that if I did try a vaginal with this one I would end up needing an emergency csection with one or both of the babies and if I have to have one I'd much rather it be planned and calm! I have heard that about moving/walking around as soon as possible... and I'm glad I found that out now because it wouldn't have occurred to me that that's the best thing to do after surgery! I'm sure it will not be pleasant but if it's the best thing to do I will do it. And oh yes - will take the stool softeners!! I'm taking prunes with me to the hospital as well.... that first poo after my vaginal deliveries was bad enough, can't imagine having to do it after a csection!! Sigh... oh what we women go through to get these babies in the world :)

Eighme that's great you got so many good photos of your little boy and that you are bonding with him! I know you'll be so in love when you see him. Like kitten I couldn't imagine my life without my sweet little DS2. And I had pretty bad GD when pregnant with him!

[Pbn3]

Abc a scheduled c section is a world of difference to an emergency one. My dd was my 3rd (and 2nd scheduled) c section and even though I went into early labour the day before my set time I still recovered amazingly! I asked for my catheder to be removed and had a shower that same afternoon as surgery!! It's crazy how such invasive surgery can be done nowadays!! I did suffer terribly from a suspected gas bubble the second night though which had me walking the halls of the maternity ward at 1am trying to shift it lol, it cleared after a couple days but was most uncomfy...My emergency csection with ds1 recovery was a total different kettle of fish though... my god the pain for days after [emoji24]

It's exciting that so many if you are getting close to meeting your babies!

I passed my gestational diabetes screen yesterday, and the midwives think I'm a good candidate for vbac. My first cesarean was relatively easy to recover from ( I second the advice about moving around, stool softener, and use a pillow in front of your tummy when you laugh. Also learn side nursing laying in bed, if you can.)

Pbn it’s so good to hear from you - I miss talking to you on the tww board!!! How are you? How are Mara and your boys?? Glad to know your last csection was pretty smooth too! (Other than the gas bubble- ouch!). I’m hoping by it being a planned csection it won’t be too terrible! Still so nervous though!!

TP, dont feel like you need to go. You are in good company here. I'm right there with you with the GD, and I did elect to find out. Its taking time... while I am excited to meet this little booger, I cant shake the 'I wish he was a girl' feeling. Ive had plenty of times where I didnt even want him... I didnt want to be pregnant again, nevermind for another boy. Wondering why I didnt have an abortion... just on the slight hope it was my DD in there. GD is a beast.

Im 33 weeks and this little guy has been messing with my body. He gave me my first yeast infection. Got swabbed 2 weeks later, and that was gone... but then I had BV. Flagyl is the most vile thing ever! And boy does it wreck your stomach! I actually have a doctors appt in an hour so I will get swabbed again and see if thats gone. However now I have a sinus infection thats been whooping my butt for almost a week. :rolleyes:

[kittendreams]

So sorry you've had such a run of sickness surrounded- definitely no fun when pregnant!
Oh I know that feeling of I wish this was my girl... it's so hard I love this little guy but the pain is still there- it's so bittersweet.
I had my 32 week growth scan- not sure of outcome the tech didn't give too much info but I could see the growth was asymmetrical so just waiting to hear from either my doctor or the hospital.
He was absolutely beautiful in the scan and even had his eyes open at one point- so weird!

Wonderful picture of your baby boy:heart:

Thanks Noemi and pretty :kiss:
Seeing him at that scan helped my gd immensely.
I walked out the room thinking I wouldn't change him for anything he was just so beautiful!

Has anyone heard from TP? I'm worried she hasn't popped back after her last message.
TP if you are reading this know I'm thinking of you xx

Me too Tp, we miss u here:heart:

She was due around New Year, wasn't she ? She may very well be giving birth as we speak if the child is a bit early.

He is gorgeous!

My last OB appt she mentioned wanting me to get scanned one more time before I give birth since Im considered High Risk, so I need to set one up for 35/36 weeks (She still sends me to an ultrasound specialist) fingers crossed I finally get to see this little mans face. He is remarkably stubborn!

Im hoping TP is alright... she could just be lurking and not feeling up to posting. I have done that. Or maybe shes meeting her newest LO... I think about her a lot. <3

Merry Christmas ladies!!

I spent the night before Christmas Eve in labor & delivery- I had a little bleeding and doc wanted to check things out. All is fine but I’m 4 cm dilated already so it looks like I probably won’t make it to my scheduled csection date of Jan 22nd. 34 weeks as of yesterday so I’m hoping they can stay in a couple more weeks!!

Hope everyone is doing well!!

Merry Christmas everyone!
I've been massively MIA of late but keeping tabs. Glad to see everyone doing mostly good. My moods have been aaaaaaaallllllllll over the place so I've just been keeping to myself but with the day we have today I just had to send holiday wishes to you all.
Myself and our twinnies are doing well thankfully. I'm heading on for 27 weeks now and at my last scan a week ago they were weighing just short of 2lbs each. Definitely starting to feel the difference in a single vs twin pregnancy (did I mention the moods!! Ugh!)
ABC best of luck keeping those babes in there another little while. I'll be rooting for you!!
TP if you're checking in I hope you're ok and we are ALL thinking of you x
Kitten your DS is so freaking adorable!!! Those CHEEKS!! Oh my, I could just eat him up!
Simkan your DD is just gorgeous!! I'm so happy to hear she got here safe and sound despite everything!! Hope you are both flying it now!
And to anyone due shortly wishing you the very very best of luck meeting your little one! Much love xxx

[ABC.2606]

Thanks ladies! I have a doc appt on Friday and I guess they'll check my cervix again to see where we're at then. Hoping to make it to 36 weeks. I have a history of dilating a lot well in advance of labor and just walking around super dilated so hopefully I can make it a little while longer!! Trying to take it easy now - which is hard as I have all these last minute projects and cleaning that I want to work on!!

Hopper - yup my twin pregnancy has gotten a lot more intense this trimester than my singleton pregnancies were! I have all these symptoms I didn't have with the boys and just the heaviness and largeness of my belly has been rough!! I'm way, way bigger than I was when I gave birth to my boys - I have a lot more pain, tightness in my belly, discomfort, etc. It's amazing to me that women's bodies can carry more than one baby at once! Hang in there, but know that it's probably going to get even rougher soon as you keep getting bigger :)

TP hope you're doing ok... We're all thinking about you!

[Eighme]

ABC and Hopper, props to you ladies. You are both superwoman for carrying twins!

I don't have much new to add other than I've developed some gnarly pelvic girdle pain and heartburn that wakes me up continuously. I am so ready to be done with this pregnancy.

My OB is okay with inducing at 39 weeks if little man hasn't made an appearance prior (last week of February) so I'm looking at that as my end goal to get through the last leg of pregnancy.

Kitten, your little man is beautiful! Here's mine! He looks just like his brother, is measuring normal (hallelujah, we have huge babies in our family)

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. What an eventful time ABC, hope the twins stay put for a week or two longer, I can't imagine how uncomfortable you and hopper feel carrying twins, I can barely walk with one on board. I hope you get through this last stretch ok eighme, pelvic pain and heart burn is a horrible combination (I have been dealing with both and it's so draining) so wishing you a speedy last trimester.
I hope everybody is coping ok and wishing you all a safe and speedy last trimester. I am very much ready for this pregnancy to be over as we are having s heat wave here, has been above 35 degrees for days, 41 today - not liking the heat at all and my ankles are huge! Hopefully get to meet my little girl tomorrow - can't wait but anxious at the same time as I was really sick being induced with DS 1 so know what I am in for tomorrow. Just want to be holding her in my arms finally. Hoping DH will be there at delivery but we'll see as he's not been supportive this entire pregnancy so prepared to do it alone.
TP I am hoping you are ok and still hoping you get your little man if you haven't already had him.

That's good to hear! And that dilation should make for a decent labour (as labour goes lol) I have a history of getting to 3-4cm and I could be like that for weeks so I'll be really interested in hearing your experience over the coming weeks!!
Twin pregnancy is definitely more intense. Each week brings a new hurdle, or so I am finding. Both mine were breech at my last two checks and it's made for a difficult time as I have a head buried firmly under each rib and four feet kicking my cervix. I'm thinking they may have moved a little yesterday as one of them feels different today!!
I'm looooong grown out of all the maternity wear I wore on my other 3 pregnancies. I'm living in maternity tights and smock dresses!! The very height of fashion lol. I'm 1 stone 8lbs up from my pre pregnancy weight, the heaviest I've ever been in my life but it's all on my bump and hips! Makes walking super fun lol!!
Dreading the fact things will continue to get worse and as much as there are days I'm just so over being pregnant I know the longer they stay put the better for all involved so I'm just sucking it up!
My mindset hasn't been helped by the fact that pretty much all my friends have dropped me. I literally see no one other than family any more and as I'm sure you all know, the pregnancy hormones make it feel even worse! At least DH has been mostly great so that's a huge huge plus!!

[Throwaway_panther]

I'm sorry for worrying you all. I've been periodically lurking, and am happy to see Kelbear is likely holding her baby girl as we all speak.

Still pregnant, still don't know gender, and still very depressed. Been walking around with baby engaged for weeks, dilated to 2 and very effaced, with lots of prodromal labor and still no closer to moving on. In a tremendous amount of pain in my hips and back and am really limited mobility wise. DH is still not living up to the 'D' in that abbreviation as well. And of course, I've had nonstop girl guesses from everyone from strangers to my DD's pediatrician to my FIL who said on Christmas, "Like there's even a chance it's not a girl" because he was so vocal after DD that clearly *I* am responsible for the baby gender coming from such a girl heavy family. I wish I couls run away from this pregnancy and life around me in general.

I'm so appreciative of you all thinking about me and hope things ease up for you all as your beautiful babies start making their appearances.

Finally got to meet my little girl today, am head over heals in love. She has had a growth spurt in the last month and weighs a healthy 3.025kg. Exhausted and sore but so happy. DH was not great this am before we got to hospital but once things started he was very supportive and has had lots of cuddles with her so hoping things may improve from what they were. Just glad he was there for her birth. She has yet to be named as DH wants time to think on it (will be difficult coming to an agreement I'm sure) but that's ok.

Oh Kelbear, I'm so happy to hear she's healthy and here. I'm sorry DH is still being an issue but glad he was there and surprised you with some support -- I can definitely relate!

And simkan, I meant to say too how sorry I am that you got your hopes up with DS2 and then they hurt at his birth. I keep thinking about how everyone told me DD was a boy (since we kept her sex a secret) and often said I would have been so gutted if I hadn't found out. Now, hearing 98% girl guesses seems just as brutal when I am so convinced baby is a girl because I don't even have any hope. Damned if I do, damned if I don't! GD is such a horrendous beast.

Eighme I had an iron infusion on the 5th of December and I feel 100% better now. Took about 1-2 weeks to kick in. Do it for you and Bub because if you severely anaemic you are not getting enough oxygen in your blood. It didnt hurt at all and took about an hour xx

And of course, I've had nonstop girl guesses from everyone from strangers to my DD's pediatrician to my FIL who said on Christmas, "Like there's even a chance it's not a girl" because he was so vocal after DD that clearly *I* am responsible for the baby gender coming from such a girl heavy family. I wish I couls run away from this pregnancy and life around me in general.

I'm so appreciative of you all thinking about me and hope things ease up for you all as your beautiful babies start making their appearances.

Im sorry things are still rough TP... I'm not as into this pregnancy as I was, which makes me sadder. Its like a roller coaster. In a ton of pain, lots of contractions. Half of me is excited to meet him, the other half is... eh, another boy. Im sending you all my blue dust, and I hope you get your darling son. I give you a ton of credit for hanging in there with Team green. Im so glad to see you back.

[SurroundedByBoys]

Happy New Year ladies... Hope you are all doing well. :HH:

[Thinkingofthree]

@TP I hope you’re continuing to hang in there. I personally like reading your posts even if they aren’t uplifting. It’s helpful to me to know that I’m not alone.
@kelbear congratulations!!
@surrounded - I feel the same way. Half excited half ‘meh, another boy’. Really I’m probably more than halfway into the meh.

As for me, I’ve started seeing a therapist for my GD and overall prevailing sadness. Which I suppose I really might as well call depression. I’ve just been really struggling lately and it mostly started when I found out gender, so that was pretty much the beginning of it all. I really like the therapist I see though, so I enjoy my sessions with her. She referred me to a psychiatrist for meds and as of yesterday I’ve started taking some antidepressants. Not something I ever thought I’d have to do but I’m also very hopeful that they will serve a purpose and that someday I’ll be out of this constant funk.

Ditto your comment on @TP's posts - the part I like most about this forum is how real everyone is. I am in the 2ww and will be absolutely gutted if baby #2 is another DD. I burst into tears when I told DH the gender of our #1 (DD) and he thought I was just really overwhelmed/excited so I played it off as such. But I've wanted a DS since I was a little girl myself

And there is a pit in my stomach that tells me it just won't happen. Which is why I relate so much to TP. Subconsciously I think we assume the worst when we've already been disappointed

Cheers to you for going about your GD in such a proactive, healthy way. I can see myself spiraling into a dark place and not wanting to reach out for help. Your story gives me hope that *if/when* I find out #2 is DD2, I will be able to pull myself together and get help

[ABC.2606]

TP ok not trying to give you false hope (though I still have hope this is your boy!) but I googled it and Mayo Clinic says boys are more likely to be overdue. I feel like most babies I’ve known who were late are boys so I’m going to hope in your case it’s a good sign if that babe stays in there longer! I feel like you said your dd was early too - or am I wrong on that?

I’m exhausted and super, super cranky this week. 35w3d. Anyone else feeling like this? I’m also 4-5 cm dilated already and have been told to take it really easy but that’s hard with two kids and a relentlessly messy house, laundry pile, food to buy/make, etc. My doc is thinking of inducing me in the next week or two since my cervix likely won’t hold out until 38 weeks and given my cervix and that it’s my 3rd pregnancy, labor could go really fast if I go into it on my own. So the stress of worrying about going into labor and not getting to the hospital in time (we live 45 min away) and whether we should induce earlier to avoid that is really getting to me. Even DH is super anxious and he’s normally the very chill type.

How’s everyone else doing?

My mother always says that's cause men are lazy even before they leave the womb lol! My second DS was a week late and he literally flew out! 40 minutes from waters going to holding him!! It was like I couldn't evict him but once he decided he wanted out there was no stopping him! A sign of what was to come as he's a little whirlwind still lol!!
Wow ABC, you are so so close!! Are you all prepped for their arrival? And have they given you any guesstimate as to their weights currently? I can't believe they'll be here soon!!! Walking around at 4-5cm woman, you are amazeballs! Personally I'd go with the induction. Just going by my DS2 experience, when it happens fast you really are best off already being at the hospital! I don't travel well when I'm in labour lol.
As for myself, all is quiet here. We have just moved into our master bed, it's been our "spare aka dump room" since we moved in 2 years ago! We've converted what will be the twins bedroom into a play room for the boys as that frees up extra space down stairs for twin stuff. I have almost all my stuff bought for my hospital and labour bags. My mother bought me the cutest twin changing bag for Xmas, I adore it! I'll use that as their hospital bag! The only things I have left to sort for their arrival now is washing their clothes, actually packing the hospital bags, I've to buy a second Sleepyhead still and another swing and/or bouncer. I'm feeling a lot more ready! 28 weeks on Saturday. Another week closer, another week under my belt! And man oh man do I feel it! It's like someone shoved a beach ball up my top. My bump is purely just rounded and huge!! The pic is from 27 weeks exactly :) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190104/cad131cf53b7e2fc404c6dfb331afcc4.jpg

Mamabird - Thanks! I know I'm really excited to meet these little ones finally!!!

Kikurose it's so good to hear from you!!!! How are you doing?! I know time does go fast! My first trimester was soooooo slow but the 2nd and 3rd have kinda flown by!

Hopper - Wow you are way further ahead than I was at 28 weeks!! I still feel like there's a lot more I need to/ should do but unfortunately I've run out of energy and am too tired and sore now to get a lot of the rest of those things done. The holidays and all that threw me off too and I just ran out of time. Oh well - the basics for the babies, hospital bag, etc. are done and a lot of the remaining stuff is just misc house projects and errands I wanted to do. I guess they'll have to wait until later - you know, once we have 4 kids and I have a lot of time on my hands, LOL! :) Yea I really do want to be induced soon to get these kids out and stop the daily stress of worrying about having to rush to the hospital but I think my doc might make wait until 37 weeks which is still over a week away. So hopefully my cervix can hang on until then! At my growth scan yesterday they were estimated to be about 6 lbs each - which I was very happy about!

Your bump is adorable!!! You look great for 28 weeks with twins! Word of warning though as you get bigger you'll start getting looks from people like "Uhh that woman should be in the hospital giving birth right now." A store employee literally told me a couple of weeks ago that I looked like I was on my way to the hospital! Um... yea, thanks but no - I'm just carrying two!

I have been MIA because I’ve been so so sick with this baby. I’m 15 weeks on Saturday and the NIPT came back saying GIRL. I’m actually completely shocked. We have an ultrasound tomorrow where I hope they can confirm it because I truly do not believe it.

You all have been on my mind and I’ve tried to check in on you while sick, by just reading your updates. ❤️❤️❤️

ABC I cannot wait for your babies to pop out lol!!!
My girls were all late and baby boy was 3 weeks early! Maybe the opposite works for people so of TPs daughter was early.. fxfxfx

[Throwaway_panther]

DD came right on time, though we had early scares with her. In labor end of 40, born just beginning of 40+2 (ugh, lol). So unfortunately not taking much stock in it, especially with BBB's comments. This has really been the most torturous pregnancy the last few months and has really made me analyze with my therapist why I'm such a glutton for punishment! I had hoped, even if baby was a girl, they'd come in December which held a lot of significance and would have helped me get through some things. Not having much luck there either... really anticipating a long, awful labor with how my luck goes.

ABC, I hope you make it to 37 but if it helps your anxiety, 35 weeks is considered the really sweet spot of health for a premie, and you're already past that! Your babies will do beautifully!

YAY KIKU!

Glad to see everyone back!

Ive been miserable with back pain. I cannot even stand long enough to wash dishes without being in agony. Tylenol didnt help at all. Talked to my doctor, and she mentioned a steroid shot if it gets worse or keeps up. Otherwise, little guy is growing and everything looks okay. Hes a tad quiet today, Im feeling him shift around but not a lot of kicking which of course, I read a story last night about a woman who almost lost her baby because the placenta calcified and she only noticed slight movements and went to be check and had an emergency section. So now Im paranoid... if he doesnt act up later (hes up a lot of the night) I may go get looked over.

Monday I have another ultrasound set up... 36 weeks that day. Im in shock how fast it went.

Thank you everyone! I miss you all in my OG DD group, obvi, so it's been fun keeping up with you.

I'm due June 29! Seems so far away but judging how quickly you all got here, it might fly! I think I have a little bit of anxiety from my loss in July, so I worry so much about losing the baby.

I have an ultrasound to try to see baby moving and hopefully confirm girly today. So nervous, but praying all looks good. ABC I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't trust NIPT results. My family has had 13 boys and no girls in the past 17 years. I feel like this could be the worst joke ever, but hopefully it isn't!

TP, you are on my heart. I hope labor is easy and redeeming and the baby (hopefully a boy) surprises you and makes it all worth it when you see his face.

Did they confirm girl for you today kiku? Hope so!! I just didn’t completely believe my NIPT bc it was for twins and they’ve only recently been able to test gender on fraternal twins. But generally they are very accurate and I know atomic believes NIPT is more accurate than ultrasounds! Still feels reassuring to see it on ultrasound though :). I’m so happy for you!!

When I've been inactive and stand up it's particularly bad but gets easier to.walk the more I move....any ideas what it could be? I reeeeeeally don't want to go to the hospital as I've no one around to watch the three boys this weekend but of course if I Google it I will surely have myself worked into a frenzy in no time lol!

You sound fairly ready to meet your two little miracles, the errands and general stuff can definitely wait. You'll have oodles of time soon ;) Almost 36 weeks WTH! Well done Mama on keeping them cooking for this long. Those guesstimated weights are fantastic!!! I can't wait for my next growth scan.next week just to hear the guesstimate and to hear if either of them have finally went head down. I really think at least one has but as I'm sure you well know, it gets so much harder to discern which baby is which in terms of movement! It's just like a giant moving mass most days and I can't tell limbs from butts!

Surrounded sounds like you could do with getting checked out just for your.own peace of mind if for nothing else. I know that feeling so well, you won't rest easy til you know he's ok! X
TP if it helps at all, my boys were all born at vastly different gestations. DS1 was 40 exactly, DS2 was 41+2 and DS3 was 39+5. I do get what you mean about hoping to go early as December meant something to.you. I had hoped to go earlier on DS3 so he would have a July birthday. It was something that really really mattered to me and with the GD I already had over him not being a girl I was so sad when July came and went with lots of prodromal labour but nothing of significance. He arrived Aug 2nd. Anyway, just saying I hope baby doesn't make you wait too much longer. You're in all our thoughts xxx

Hey, just wanted to chime in about your leg pain. I know going to the hosp is a pain but it’s definitely better to get checked out, I’m sure it’s nothing but what you’re describing could be a blood clot, which can develop in later preg especially in the legs. Go get it checked just to be safe.

I cant wait to hear about everyones babies! Im still in shock how fast its all gone. Being in here has helped me through a few trying moments for sure.

It was gone when I woke this AM but I'm being super vigilant in case it makes a return. If it does I'll head in to get checked out and I've an appt on Wednesday I will mention it at in passing just to be extra safe. Hoping it was just a cramp tho. Funny how your brain can go crazy and think "I'm dying" when anything even the slightest out of the norm happens in pregnancy!!

Is anyone else due soon? I'm so excited to see more bambinos arrive!!

Oh yea - the strange looks I get when people ask me when I'm due and I say "February" have been constant for a couple of months now! I also get a lot of "Is it a boy or a girl?" and it's funny to go "Oh - both!"
I have never been able to tell what position baby boy is in - he's been breech, transverse, now head down, and it's all felt the same to me! What's crazy too is that I can't tell whose feet are kicking me because apparently their legs are all tangled up.... Her feet are sort of on my left side (where his body is) and his feet are sort of on my right side (where her body is). So apparently they're just in there kicking the crap out of each other and are all tangled up in a big mess! LOL - it's such a weird experience carrying two!

I'm glad your pain was better today but I'd def mention it to your doc when you go in next!!

[kikurose]

Kiku Im so glad for you! Congratulations!! Remind me what other kids you have??

I have two boys!

My family has had 12 boys straight so it’s a big streak breaker!

[SurroundedByBoys]

36 weeks today!

Meanwhile, at my ultrasound... She said I look dilated (I have an exam at OB Thursday so will find out), he is measuring 38 weeks, and is guessed at 6.9lbs :suprise:

If I didnt know exactly when my Oops occurred Id believe I was wrong with the due date.

[hopper]

They confirmed girl!!!

I finally told my family and they’re on shock. Thanks for the love everyone. I appreciate it so much [emoji179]

Hurrah I'm so happy for you! :)

It's only now you say it ABC, I wonder if my two are similarly positioned. I can't tell who is who anymore and the movement feels so much weirder. I seem to have a lot of soft movement around my underwear line, I *think it could be hands but I guess my growth scan on Wednesday will tell me more!! I'm joined to a multiples group on FB where there's a girl who is 2 days ahead of me and actually attending the same OB as me (what are the odds!) And she posted today saying that both her twins are currently breech so she was wondering if they have time or room to move into head down position. She's almost 29 weeks. The vast majority said it would be unlikely to see either twin move, possible but unlikely. It just made me a little nervous for my own scan, I hope so hard that the one nearest my cervix, whoever that may currently be, has turned head down!!
And OMG a resounding YES! It is beyond weird carrying two lol!!!

Surrounded- that sounds great!! Sounds like you have a good sized, healthy little man in there!!! Let us know how your appt goes!!!

Hopper yea every scan I get their positions have changed some (especially his) and I get super confused at where all their body parts are lol!!! My boy didn’t flip head down until after 33 weeks so I think it’s def possible! Are you in the really big FB twin mom group (like thousands of members)? If so we’re probably in the same one. :)

Well I’m officially scheduled for an induction next Monday! The end is in sight!!!! And they may still come before then. I’m so tired and uncomfortable- can’t wait for them to be out!!! [emoji23][emoji23]

Surrounded, that's honestly awesome! I hope he comes early for you! I'm hoping mine does too but I'm only 32 weeks.

I have my iron infusion Wednesday. They said my iron levels are at like a 6 and they should be in the 12-14 range. So no wonder I feel sluggish and like crap all the time. I'm anxious to get it done and enjoy the last leg of this pregnancy.

Wow ladies so much activity in 24 hours lol.
I was hoping for a little advice. I woke this AM with some sort of cramping in my left leg. I wouldn't think it's muscular. It comes and goes. When I've been inactive and stand up it's particularly bad but gets easier to.walk the more I move....any ideas what it could be? I reeeeeeally don't want to go to the hospital as I've no one around to watch the three boys this weekend but of course if I Google it I will surely have myself worked into a frenzy in no time lol!

ABC I am just waiting for those wonderful remarks. When I say I'm not due til March people generally look shocked lol. Have to say I kinda get a buzz off getting a reaction lol!! You sound fairly ready to meet your two little miracles, the errands and general stuff can definitely wait. You'll have oodles of time soon ;) Almost 36 weeks WTH! Well done Mama on keeping them cooking for this long. Those guesstimated weights are fantastic!!! I can't wait for my next growth scan.next week just to hear the guesstimate and to hear if either of them have finally went head down. I really think at least one has but as I'm sure you well know, it gets so much harder to discern which baby is which in terms of movement! It's just like a giant moving mass most days and I can't tell limbs from butts!
Kiku I am just thrilled with your news!!! Huge congrats! Hopefully you've had the scan today to confirm xxx
Surrounded sounds like you could do with getting checked out just for your.own peace of mind if for nothing else. I know that feeling so well, you won't rest easy til you know he's ok! X
TP if it helps at all, my boys were all born at vastly different gestations. DS1 was 40 exactly, DS2 was 41+2 and DS3 was 39+5. I do get what you mean about hoping to go early as December meant something to.you. I had hoped to go earlier on DS3 so he would have a July birthday. It was something that really really mattered to me and with the GD I already had over him not being a girl I was so sad when July came and went with lots of prodromal labour but nothing of significance. He arrived Aug 2nd. Anyway, just saying I hope baby doesn't make you wait too much longer. You're in all our thoughts xxx

Sent from my EVA-L09 using TapatalkSorry it's taken me so long to reply. We're doing well thanks. Shes still in NICU but hoping she will come home by due date. Just need to get her to take a bottle and strengthen those suckling muscles.

I'm pretty much half way through my treatment. Finding the side effects very minimal. Still pumping and dumping and counting the days till I can give it back to her!

Thinking of all you ladies, and cant wait to hear about all your babies soon.
Hoping TPs silence is that shes taking it easy waiting for bubs arrival or has given birth and hoping everything has gone well for her.
Surrounded, hoping to hear oops arrives soon. My ds2 arrived at 36 weeks, was an easy labor and he was perfectly healthy. And he sounds like hes a healthy size so could be any day for you :D

Eeeeekkk!! ABC I am counting the days!!! :running:

[Throwaway_panther]

Dropping by to see if there's a TP update?

Still pregnant!! I seriously can't believe it. Dilated to 3, 90% effaced and baby has been dropped and firmly engaged for weeks. Had some bloody show weeks ago and have lost big chunks of mucus plug for weeks! Think it must be infinite haha. Have had several rounds of prodromal labor where I think it's going to be the day then... nope!

I have a tentative induction scheduled for Thursday at 41 weeks, but that might change for a variety of reasons so that's a huge stress. I would have bet money that this baby was going to be here in December and now we're well outside New Year territory! Was already well home with baby in arms with DD, and I was a FTM! Can't understand what's going on here other than baby probably dreading me because I've been so hateful for weeks :(

ABC, I always wondered if your twins would come before I had mine -- looks like they will, haha!

simkan, you are seriously amazing for al you are doing and going through ♡

Lol yeah that's me at the scans too! They try explain and I'm like "huh?!" Lol!! I'll be sure to update tomorrow after my scan anyway, I'll remain hopeful they are in a favourable position. I talk to my OB on Friday about birthing options and I think it will all become a lot more real then!

Oh TP you have just described the weeks leading up to my DS2s arrival to a T!! For what it's worth, I was induced by having my waters broken and he was in my arms 44 minutes later while I felt like superwoman. The best of my three labours for sure having all that work done beforehand!! Sending lots of positive labour vibes your way, the end is almost here xxx

My first was over a week early and my second was late. Waiting around for my second the extra two weeks beyond the point at which my first would have already been born was awwfuuuuuull! It felt so long! Sorry you’re going through that too!
I hope Thursday goes well if you end up inducing.

[Throwaway_panther]

Thanks ladies, that helps a bit. I see everywhere that subsequent babies are supposed to come earlier, and here I am 40+6! I keep feeling like something has to be wrong, especially since I keep having timeable contractions that go away. I was going to say most of you having boys helped me feel a little better too, though Mia's also later second baby throws that off! :P

Woke up to a series of ROUGH contractions today -- like later stage labor pain rough -- and THOSE stopped too. Ugh! Induction is tomorrow but I'm calling them to see if we could push it one more day.

[Lilawt]

One more for the boy vote [emoji39] , 40+6 for DS1.

Good luck Tp, I think 80% of this website is waiting for your baby !

[ABC.2606]

Thanks Pbn and BBB! I'm so ready!!! It's been such a long 2 years with this whole swaying/pregnancy process!

Simkan I'm so glad your treatment is going well and that baby girl is doing well too!!!! Hope you get her home soon!!

TP WOW that is one stubborn baby LOL! I'm still hoping the lateness means boy though! Surely you must be going into labor soon if you keep having those on and off contractions!!!! Ahhh it's so close now though - whether you go into labor on your own or induction!!!!

Hopper - I'll be 37 weeks on Monday. Basically it's the earliest they are willing to induce. I'm a little nervous that we're inducing before the babies are "ready" health-wise, but in the US most docs only allow twins to go to 38 weeks anyways so it's only a week earlier. Hopefully they will do great! My cervix keeps changing a little more each week too so both my doctor and I just don't think they'll stay in 2 more weeks anyways!

[Babybeaublue]

TP I don't blame you for wanting to avoid induction I hated it too. I went 9 days over with 2 of mine (That's the longest they will let you go here) my waters always go first before even the slightest twinge so at least there's no guessing or start stop for me. I will say tho that once my waters broke it was usually 2-3 hours after, that the girls were born. This time even tho it was exactly 3 weeks early, it was the next day before baby boy put in an appearance! Maybe boys really are stubborn lol x

That always got to me too, everyone says "oh the more u have the sooner they come" and then all 5 of mine were 1-5 days late. (ps my boys were also later than the girl who was only 1 day late) Good luck TP!

[4blue2pink]

ive heard that too TP "the more you have the earlier they come" but i think in general, the more you have your body just finds how it likes to do it and settles into a bit of a pattern.
my 1st was born on due date, 2nd was 39+2, 3rd was 39+3 and then number's 4,5,6 and 7 have all been born in the 40th week, with my last 3 babies all weighing the exact same amount!! at this point i just tell my midwife "it'll happen sometime in the 40th week and baby will weigh 7lbs 14oz like the last 3" :)
fingers crossed you go into labour on your own as it sounds like that is what you want :) it sounds like things are gearing up, i think its going to be quick!!
everything crossed for a quick easy delivery and your big team green turns team blue surprise!! :heart:

[4blue2pink]

Good Luck abc!!! so exciting!! :)

[SurroundedByBoys]

My first was 3 days early... second was on his due date. This one seems ready to burst through the gates at any moment haha. I see the doctor tomorrow and will probably have my cervix checked and all that good stuff.

Good luck to everybody, I really cant wait to hear about your LOs!

This is the best thread to follow! I'm just over the moon for you all to meet these babies so soon.

ABC so so proud of you for baking those twins so long!

Simkan, so glad to hear everything is on the up and up.

TP, I can't wait to hear about this baby (boy). You're the biggest champ EVER. Seriously.

[LMSM]

Good luck TP! This bub will come out flying.... you’re gearing up, it’s tough but will be worth it. FX so hard this is your boy!
Dont’ put too much stock into bub being late or early..they come when they are ready :) I have all girls, and went 40+6/38+6/39+4.... the biggest bub came earliest, she was « done » whereas my other two were smaller so needed a bit more time.
ABC, can see you are set for an induction (thought you were thinking C section initially ?)..that’s fab! You’ve done so well keeping them cooking so long :) can’t wait for you to meet your rainbow babies :awe:

[Throwaway_panther]

Thanks LMSM! Though your second came earlier so I'm still going to stick my tongue out at you! :P

It's funny hat you say though, because I totally rationalized when DD came with that. We had some preterm labor scares with DD and every midwife I saw thought I was going to go early because of how low she was, how ripe my cervix was as a FTM, how often I was contracting, etc. Then 40+2 after going into labor at 40! Then she was so shrimpy (6 lbs and change) I joked she couldn't have come any earlier because she needed to beef up! I just can't expect that this baby is smaller and am anticipating a big one... either way, induction finally settled for this Friday at 41.1. Hoping I just wake up in labor that day ;)

ABC -- I feel a special kind of love that our rainbow babies are going to be only days apart. In all my GD and depression I have lost sight at times of what we both went through before these babies. I feel as excited for your babies as mine haha.

And it is funny how this baby is making you all wait, too! I just know I'll be a disappointment coming back on here without my longed for boy.

[ABC.2606]

Thanks ladies! I know it's not anything in my control but having people (and doctors) tell me that I'm doing such a great job keeping these kids in so long has made me feel happy! And it slightly takes the edge off of how physically miserable and uncomfortable I am, LOL! I really didn't think I'd make it this long so it definitely feels good to be so close to "full term" now (at least full term for twins!).

TP - aww that makes me tear up! We really have been through so much (you more than me) with all the miscarriages and now our babies are coming within a couple of days of each other!!! I just would give anything for this to be your little man but I still have a lot of hope that it is! If it's not I'm praying you fall madly in love with "her" like you did with your DD. Either way - the anxiety I feel waiting for your little one to be born is right up there with the anxiety I feel waiting for mine to be born, LOL!!! But seriously!!

And I'm so excited that our due date board is finally about to start popping out a lot of babies! Speaking of which - Kelbear how are you and your little one doing? Pretty and Hannah - haven't seen you ladies around lately but your due dates are coming up soon too - hope you're doing well!! And I hope to hear an announcement from SBB soon!

[ABC.2606]

And TP you will NOT be a disappointment to us if you have a girl - I think I speak for all of this board when I say we all just want you to be happy, because you deserve that!!
