2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

Wow dark star what a lovely bump! I haven't taken a bump pic for ages now. Should really take one. Hope everybody is well.

Had a check up today and everything is good. Measuring at 31 weeks although baby was hiding a bit, so not sure how accurate that is! X

Well it looks like I might meet my babies sooner than I thought. I am having regular painful contractions (7 minutes apart) and a pelvic exam shows some blood. I've been given my first round of steroid shots for the babies lungs and will be returning for the second round of steriods, another NST, and an ultrasound tomorrow.

It might still be nothing ladies. But they did rush in starting me on the steroid shots. We will see.

Here's a picture of my NST showing the contractions at the bottom- the 4 "mountain" peaks.

They can make a guess based on measurements, but can't be sure until the baby is born. Mine was estimated to be just over 1.6kg last week. It's more length and size that my OB focuses on, and even that gets harder to track now.

Baby shower today!

I agree - I'm part desperate to meet my baby, and part enjoying being pregnant and still having time with just my husband and I.

I feel the same way!! lol How did your baby shower go?

5'3 with a 52" waist now (started at 28") .... not sure how another 5 weeks of growth is going to fit in there!

How cute!

Are you our first mommy who could possibly be having their little one soon? I hope all goes well!

Thanks ladies!

Contractions are slowed to every 12-15 mins now. They are definitely the real deal and not BH now... they feel like a menstrual cramp covering my whole belly, ouch!

The steroid shot didn't hurt as much as I expected considering it looked to be about a 10 gauge needle they used. I got it in the behind where I am well padded, lol. Going back for the second one in a few hours.

Just had a scan and the babies are 4lb 10 oz and 4lb 11 oz. I'll find out more about the actual details later as the techs here can't tell us. Twin A was either hugging Twin B, or had him in a chokehold.
