Great everything is going good, I am hoping for a natural birth too (providing babies are in right position). Weekly stress tests? What is that?
I am 22 weeks and measuring 32... Im gonna be a whale!

haha im sure you will be fine. last time i grew 4 wks in 2 wks...this time i just grew 2 wks in 2 wks. it varies every time i have an appt. he said i just go in and get a monitor strapped to my belly and monitor the heartbeats...i guess its something routine they do there. i also had my first glucose tolerance test yesterday. don't know if i passed or failed, but i do know the stuff you drink is gross! haha

That's actually true, from 13 to 17 weeks I grew 9 weeks, then in the next 4 weeks I only grew 7 weeks. Im hoping it does slow down! I do the glucose test at my next appt. My MW didnt do it for me last pregnancy cos she knew I was fine, tho with twins it is a lot higher risk. When will you know your 'test results'?

well actually the office called me today, but i didn't get the msg cause i was at work all day. i'm pretty sure that means i failed it like the doc said i would or they wouldn't have bothered calling me.
