Two! So happy to see some ultrasounds....I hate only seeing the baby twice...and since I'm not feeling much I would love some photos. My anatomy scan is a week from Friday and I'm getting super excited!

Not down playing your concern, but aren't twins typically pretty small compared to singletons? I'm sure those percentages are based off singletons. I hope everything works out with him flipping and the babies gaining weight

I'm not specifically concerned about their size and expect them to be a little smaller. It was more just an observation since my others measured around the 75th percentile. Twins typically measure the same as singletons up to the third trimester and then drop off in weight gain for pretty much all twins and also in height for about half of twins. Their measurements did remind me I still need to get some preemie clothes. Everywhere seems to be out and I'm mostly looking for cotton footies and one-pieces. I'm sure they'll start having some again though. The stores near me are clearancing out stuff and just now starting to add in new stuff this week. I haven't really looked online yet. I'm considering making a few snap shirts for the NICU though. I did that for DS3 when he was born at 30 weeks. It made me feel better about him being so tiny and stuck in the hospital for so long.

Fingers crossed that he flips for you BG. He still has plenty of time. And I hope that you find some tiny baby clothes that you like when the stores restock, although making your own sounds like fun too. Remember as well how unreliable u/s is. It can be out by 20% either way and is notoriously unreliable for estimating a babies weight. They might be a bit bigger than they are letting on at this stage.

Multiple ultrasounds is one of the few perks of being high risk. I can't wait to see some pics from your scan!!! Please share!!

Got ya! Are they planning bed rest or anything given twins with a history of preterm birth?

[BunnyGirl19]

Nothing planned unless I have problems indicating a need for it. My PTL has been attributed to my blood clotting disorder so bedrest and things like that won't make a difference. I am on progesterone injections this time though, since it relaxes and the uterus and will cut down on BH.

I found some preemie cotton sleepers online last night and ordered them for the twins. Now when they get here I need to embroider name tags to sew in for their NICU stay. I'm finally starting to feel more prepared.

Fingers crossed that it is a mere formality and they are big healthy and strong for you.

I got my Upsie Belly belly today and my bump feels so much lighter. I wish I would have gotten one a few weeks ago.
