So today was my first appt with my ob/gyn...went really well I guess...mostly paperwork and talking about my medical history and how this twin pregnancy will progress...
she said that it is my decision whether I have a natural birth or a c-section....of course assuming baby A is in position...but sometimes what happens is that baby a is born vaginally but then baby B for whatever reason may need a c-section...we are really leaning towards a scheduled c-section at 38 weeks...she won't let me go past then and said no need for bed rest if all goes well....she said there is no evidence that it helps delay labour....
she also said that I will have an ultrasound once a month and see her once a month...towards the end it will be every two weeks and then once a week...
I also did a urine test for protein and sugar which was negative...had to pee in a cup...well we all experts at that by now!
I asked her about these dull period like pains that go all the way around to my back...she said it is just uterus stretching as babies grow....
and it should be no problem to travel to sunny Cancun Mexico on Monday
my next appt is Mar 13 with my ultrasound on March 9 (13 weeks and 6 days)...I am gonna be in ultrasound withdrawal!!! I love seeing my babies! and of course its reassurance all is well! she didnt even try using the doppler cuz I am only 10 and half weeks
nausea seems to be none to little and of course hunger is always there....gettting lots of sleep even though I have to get up in the middle of the night to pee and eat something!
