I thought we had names all settled, but now my husband is insistent we name them after his cars. I’m pretty sure he’s lost his mind! ��
You could be like, "ok I'm into this, let's name them Hummer and Fahrvergnügen!" ;)
I hope you guys settle on names you both like!
Hi ladies! How are you all doing? I have been feeling good but Acid Reflux the last couple of days has been rough!!
We just got our puppy this weekend! I feel like we are a bit crazy with baby coming in August but so far so good he his such a good boy. We have named him Lector. LOL after Hannibal Lector because once he is grown be will look mean but he will be a softy :)))
I’m doing well. I’ve gained 30-ish pounds already, so I’m feeling huge and awkward and starting to waddle. I have had constant heartburn for several weeks now and keep getting bouts of hives.
I forgot to update. I had my appointment yesterday at 24w5d. Both babies averaged out to 23w5d with measurements and estimated weight of 1 lb 6 oz each. Baby B still estimates at roughly 15 grams (.5 oz) heavier than Baby A. The best news is that they very clearly visualized the CSP in Baby A’s brain and it is an entirely normal shape and size, not just a “variant of normal.” Yay! Both babies are breech now (head up). If they don’t rotate to head down by 28 weeks, or at least Baby A flipping head down, it’s pretty likely I’ll have a C-section as it’s rare for twins to change position after that time. I’m fine with whatever method as long as they are delivered safely.
Thats awesome news!
So far I have gained 19 pounds i am 28 weeks. The Acid Reflux and Heartburn are my only issues. I switch to my c-section DR this month. I feel the time will fly the next 3 months! Summers are so fast and short here in Saskatchewan. We have been having a heat wave the last 3 days so I am so happy for AC
I had my baby in an emergency cesarean at 33 weeks. We were team yellow and we got what we wanted - A GIRL!! It was such a medical emergency that I haven’t had a chance to let it really sink in yet.

I’m still doing well, but activity is hard for me now. I found out I have a critically low ferritin level (likely related to treating my severe GERD) and am scheduled for an iron infusion next week. We had extreme heat last week and on the mini vacation we took the youngest kids on. I swelled up and got sick from the high temps. Now that the swelling has mostly gone down, I see that I’ve lost a few pounds. I’m drinking extra protein shakes to try to correct that. The babies are both pretty active, but I don’t always feel more than just light taps since they both have anterior placentas. I feel their more dramatic movements, though. They were both breech on my last scan, so it’s looking more likely I’ll be having a c-section. My bigger issue now is the hospital not allowing inductions before 38 weeks, even for multiples. I’m supposed to be induced at 36 weeks due to my health conditions and will now have to jump through a million hoops to attempt to schedule it at the right time and hope it will be approved. It’s so frustrating when some administrator thinks they can call the shots on care doctors say patients need.
That has to be so frustrating! How many multiples make it to 38 weeks anyways.... some people have not clue! Well I hope everything goes in the direction you need:)
I had a dr. appointment to day and they want me to have ultrasounds every 2 weeks because of my age.... But I had a great ultrasound last week already, with no issues. He is exactly on date and is right at the 50%. I guess its nice to keep seeing but going weekly takes up so much time.
I also have a anterior placenta but i feel most of my movement inside. Wakes me up at least 3x a night. LOL I also get "lighting crotch" he gets on a nerve or something and its crazy.
Around 60% of twins deliver by 36 weeks. Very few make it to 38 weeks and the risk of stillbirth jumps after 37 weeks. I’m getting stressed about the hospital wanting an induction so far along, especially since my singleton pregnancies were all to be induced at 38 weeks due to risks (stillbirth and placental abruption) associated with my clotting disorder. The risks for those happening are significantly higher with multiples even before considering my medical history. At this point I’m hoping I go into labor on my own sooner (likely since my singletons usually come at 35-36 week range on their own) or the hospital approves my 36-week induction.
I hope it happens early natural for you!!! What week are you at now?
Oh NO Bunny I didn't realize you were in Oregon, that was absolutely HELLISH living through that heat. I'm so sorry you had to go through that, hope it's cooler where you are now.
Praying that you go into labor naturally on your own sooner or that the bureaucracy lightens up!

34 weeks+1 had another ultrasound today. He is measuring at 5.5 pounds. Everything looks good.
Anyone else "older" and have to get ultrasounds every 2 weeks after 32 weeks? Everything has been fine the last 1 but since i am old 40. they do this in canada.
I’ve been getting them every three weeks. Starting next Friday I’m getting weekly scans, but every other week will be a full growth scan. The in-between scans will be for basic checks of fluid, heart rate, cervix, placenta health, etc. I’m also 40 and listed as “geriatric pregnancy” in my chart. At my last scan everything was still looking good with babies estimated at 10-11 days behind dates now. My doctor is estimating I’ll go into labor on my own between 34-36 weeks and my cervix had started shortening a bit. I managed to make it to 30 weeks with normal blood sugars, but in the last week all but my fasting levels have been too high. I started on insulin yesterday. I also got an iron infusion yesterday. Three weeks ago when my labs were drawn my ferritin came back at 6 and my hemoglobin was in the low 10s. Yesterday before the infusion my ferritin came back at 1 and my hemoglobin was mid 8s. I’ve never been anemic in pregnancy before.
Oh gosh, hang in there Bunny!!!
You are doing great! Everything will happen when its the right time. Its so nice they can monitor us well so it is safer for the little ones! Hope you have a great week!
I had my 32-week growth scan today and everything looked good. Baby A measured 13 days behind and Baby B measured 10 days behind. That puts them at 10th and 15th percentiles.
That sounds really good for Twins!!!
FXFXFX for those babies to stay snuggled a little longer, but not TOO long! :heart:
Had my last ultrasound yesterday 37 weeks exact!
That one was the hardest to lay on my back i had to get up 3x because i was so light headed and getting hot flashes. During my 30 min they watch for a bunch of things movement of fingers toes, movement, heart, some sizes and breathing. Of course this was the day he was sleeping and they didn't see any practice breaths. This can be normal so they let me go and said they would let my dr. know.
By the time I got home the dr. office called and I had to go in for a stress test. Of course my dr. wasn't even in today... So she was called in. The test was fine and my doctor tried to tell me she had to come in anyways to do things but I don't think she did. I just felt all bad but its all good and Im glad everything went ok. Of course my husband was 5 hours away woking so I am glad he didn't miss anything!
How is everyone feeling any one here or is it just me and bunnygirl19?
2 more weeks for our pland C-section at 19+1 its coming so quick! Summers fly way to fast and we have had a hot beautiful one here in Canada this year!
I’m starting to have issues with my blood pressure and headaches, but otherwise doing okay. My bloodwork so far is fine, so no urgent preeclampsia issues. I had been given instructions by my doctor that I needed to be admitted if I got over 140/90, which happened yesterday. I was told to go to L&D instead of my regular appointments. I did and the doctor on at the time told me my numbers were “perfectly fine) because they weren’t over 160/110. She also told me my issues were from acid reflux. She gave me a bunch of meds and sent me home. I felt loopy and sick after the meds and once they wore off I started having a ton of contractions nearly continuously. I didn’t want to go back in due to the doctor’s dismissive attitude, so I’ve been hanging out in bed resting. DH is taking some extra time off work so I can rest more in the hopes of keeping the babies in another week. My BP is fine if I’m just lying around resting, but with being up doing anything it jumps way up. I wish I would have just gone to my regular appointment yesterday instead of L&D. Because of it, I didn’t get my weekly ultrasound to check fluid, babies’ positions, placenta health, etc. I do have one more detailed growth scan on 8/18, but I’m not sure I’ll make it to 35w5d. With the BP issues I’m concerned about growth and they were already tiny at my 32 week growth scan.
OH NO how did I miss this update??? How are you doing now BG???
I truly think the L and D nurses (god bless them, truly) see so many people in a tizz from being scared about going into labor that sometimes they err on the side of being too laid back. I mean, it's somewhat understandable, if the majority of everyone you see is having paranoia, it's likely you just start to think EVERYone is paranoid, but some people actually do need to be admitted and I hate how many of you guys have to go in repeatedly before you get to the person who realizes you actually do need to be seen ASAP.
My BP and everything has stayed as it was, nothing getting worse, so still continuing on with monitoring. I can’t believe I’ve made it to 35 weeks! At my appointment today they did my GBS swab and BPP. Both babies are head down now. I had five contractions in 30 minutes on the monitor, each lasting between 1-2 minutes. At this point they feel more like BH than actual labor contractions. They are estimating I’ll deliver within the next week. I am hoping they’ll stay in long enough to get my full growth scan on Wednesday since I want a better size estimate with body measurements than the vague guess I got by just looking at them on scan (4 to 4-1/2 lb). I’m working on doing all the laundry now just in case.
Oh thank goodness, so relieved to hear this!! Stay in a little longer, ladies! FXFXFX and please keep us posted!
The twins are here! I had an accidental home birth on my bathroom floor Sunday. I woke up having what felt like Braxton Hicks off and on and irregularly. I told DH I might want to be checked at L&D later on in the afternoon if they continued just in case. A few minutes later I felt a pop and told DH it felt like when my water breaks except nothing came out. I went pee a few minutes later and then had a gush of fluid. I told DH I needed to go in as my water had broken. He called MIL to come over to watch the other kids. I then had a few painful contractions and felt the burning urge to push and yelled for DH to call 911 since I was sure the babies were coming quickly. I went into the bathroom, laid down, and within two contractions Baby A was born. DH delivered her. The paramedics arrived a few minutes later and delivered Baby B, who had ended up flipping back breech when A came out. She had to be maneuvered and helped out. Baby A weighed 4 lb 11 oz snd 16-1/2”. Baby B weighed 4 lb 12 oz and 16-1/2”. So far they are both doing well and not needing NICU at this time. If their drowsiness and feedings don’t improve in the next day or two they may end up needing to spend a few days there.
