A friend of mine son was born April 1st. I, personally, don't see the big deal?

Im really hoping I can convince my OB office to induce at 37 weeks. This swelling is ridiculous and painful. I even had my feet up all day at my desk at work.

Christie, Hun, that looks suspiciously like my swelling before my preeclampsia was diagnosed. Not saying that to scare you, just saying it out of concern. Some swelling in pregnancy is normal, but I hate to say it, that's how mine looked over the past two weeks. It's even worse now, so bad that the hospital has no compression socks that fit me to try to ward off blood clots in my legs :sad2: If you're at all worried about your symptoms before your next monitoring, I'd definitely drop into the hospital for a check up and ask them to check your blood levels for platelet count and liver enzymes as well as your urine and blood pressure. Preeclampsia is very common in twin pregnancies and can escalate very quickly.

I hope all is okay. I think your OB will be happy to induce you at 37 weeks under the circumstances. I'll cross my fingers for you xx
 
Hi girls :hi:

Thanks for your kind words! Can't wait to update tomorrow!

It's 4pm on Saturday afternoon here and I'm scheduled for my c-section at 8am tomorrow morning! Not long now at all :yipee:

It feels kind of surreal to be honest! I'm nervous, excited, teary and emotional all wrapped up into one. Four rounds of IVF have bought us a family - our DD and now our twins. When I think back to the years we struggled to conceive and the many nights I cried myself to sleep worried that I would never get to experience motherhood - and yet here I am about to become a mother of 3. I am truly so blessed that our prayers were answered. Being a mother has shown me a love unlike no other on this planet. My heart is so full and ready to burst!

Excited to start the next chapter of our lives as a family of 5 tomorrow! Lots of chaos and no doubt a very steep learning curve ahead, but lots of love and very good times ahead too. Roll on tomorrow.... :cloud9:

I'm not surprised you're excited. Hope you manage to sleep tonight. Not sure I could.

It took us 10 years and four rounds of IVF to get our first BFP. It's only just hitting home that this is really happening and I'll be a mum soon. Can't wait.

Best of luck for tomorrow. Enjoy bonding with your two new babies when the arrive.

Oh Bekah - I am so sorry it took you so long to conceive your precious baby. I can't wait for you to experience motherhood! It's so close for you now! All the tears, set backs, financial strain, agonising waiting and the physical toll of the treatments on your body is all very much worth it when you finally meet your baby. Wishing you lots of happiness and all the very best for your delivery :hugs:
 
Thank you jonesbaby19. Came so close to giving up but so glad we didn't.

Im soooo excited for you!!!
 
Good luck today Jonesbaby. Get those babies outta you and in your arms! Can't wait to see pics ��
 
Getting close for us :happydance: good luck tomorrow with the c section jonesbaby (not that you will need any!) and the birth of your lovely twins :wohoo: look forward to hearing all about it xox
 
Good luck Jonesbaby!!!

38+6, I think I've got another 13 days. My husband thinks it's next Friday. Nearly all sorted, getting a bit nervous about labour now bricking it in fact!!
 
Hi ladies, baby has been moving less in the last few days. I mean I can still feel the movement but I really have to pay attention and it's not as regular as before.

Makes me worry a bit, is anyone having the same thing?
 
I still get quiet days, and barely feel anything all night. I actually called hospital on Weds as I just wanted to check and baby is absolutely fine.

If you are worried call the hospital. They told the they'd much rather see me every week than me sit at home and fester, worrying myself sick.

Hope you're OK x
 
I've had a couple of quiet days, but then about an hour ago he has started fidgeting again. If worried I'd call and get checked though. Hope everything's ok.

If it's not as regular as before then I'd probably give the maternity unit a ring... especially as your worried it's best to get monitored x
 
Yeah my little miss has very quiet days and it's so scary. Phone up if you're concerned though, they really do not mind, it's what they're there for. I've been in for monitoring lots x
 
How exciting! Really looking forward to hearing about your twins Jonesbaby!
---------------------------------------
I feel like I hardly got any sleep at all last night. It's going to be a loooong day because my toddler clearly did :haha: He's tame enough right now watching The Iron Giant thankfully
 
Anybody else in pain when the baby moves? Lately he's been kicking/punching the side of my uterus over to the left and it actually has been hurting me.
