Part 3: Due July, August, September 2018

[Ellirosanne]

I’m trying to find the perfect pregnancy support belly band. I’ve tried two different kinds so far, and one just rolled down under my sagging belly by like folding in half and one was way too cumbersome and uncomfortable. I just ordered one to try that is different from the other two, so I’m hoping it gives my old sagging belly some much needed support! Otherwise when I go in labor they’ll need two wheelchairs! One for me and one for my sagging belly! Lol

Oh Ellirosanne! I hope you find one! I’ve thought about one, but are they hot? That’s what I’m worried about.

I thought about getting one too, especially to help with the swelling I'm experiencing. They just look so uncomfortable. I hope the last one you ordered work. I will probably try some support hose -which sounds equally uncomfortable and hot.

I didn’t find the other two to be particularly hot.. my new one should arrive tomorrow

My new pregnancy belt is shaped better to accommodate my sagging belly, the only drawback is it’s not very stretchy and relies on the Velcro meting manually tightened instead of elasticity. But it does support the weight of my belly better without being as cumbersome or collapsing in half to end up just folding underneath it. So in other words, it’s better for my situation, but still not perfect

Mommy2apples, I’m feeling huge! I’ll be thinking of you doing your test Thursday! Mine will be Saturday. I have my growth scan and cervical length check Friday and my 28 week OB apt thursday

Aww Ellirosanne, wonder if you could find someone that could suggest a good one for you?

Aww you aren’t huge! I always think you look lovely when you post your bump pictures!

My appointment Thursday will consist of scheduling of my csection, glucose test, second part of my anatomy scan, signing paper for my tubal, and having them write a note for jury duty as the courts want me to do it may- August and that’s not possible. Lol will be praying you pass your glucose test! It’s always exciting to see them
On the screen though!

Good morning Ladies,

Mommy2apples - you look gorgeous! Such a beautiful pregnant lady. :-)

Ellisrosanne - I am also struggling to find a belt that is comfortable enough to support my belly. I have the normal belly band but like you said, it rolls up and is so annoying when you have to adjust it every time you stand up or move around.
Everyone keeps telling me that I am carrying small for twins, but doctor said they are measuring the same as a singleton baby. Twin A is 818g and Twin B 714g. As long as the difference in their weight is less than 200g, I should be okay.

My other concern is that I haven't done a glucose test. I have actually never done a glucose test. I live in South Africa so not sure if it's not a common thing here. My gynea also wont give me a C-section date earlier and scheduled it for my due date, 19th July. She said that it's a given that these babies will come early so there is no point in scheduling an earlier date. We will try and keep them in for as long as possible.
The tiredness is really catching up to me. I fall asleep behind my desk while at work. My next appointment is only at 29 weeks - not sure if I will be put on bedrest or if I should just go on early maternity leave, but also don't want to waste my maternity leave.

[Mommy2apples]

Thanks TwinMom2! That’s frustrating she won’t schedule you a csection date, especially with your twins! Seems the US is always quick to jump on things. I wish I could opt out of the glucose test, it makes me edgy waiting on the results. I guess I should just going in there thinking there’s only two option, fail or pass, but if I fail I have to do the three hour test and I’m not looking forward to that either, so really just praying I pass the 1 hour test so it can be done and over with!
