Great pics Tobaira!!! They look very content in there! This is a stupid question, but would identical twins be in the same sac, and fraternal in separate sacs?
I have had zero food cravings or aversions. Is that normal? I am also to the point where it hurts to eat a lot...you think that would stop me, but it doesn't and I keep eating and then I suffer. My stomach starts to feel so big and stretched after eating a lot, but I am still hungry so I keep eating I think I have already gained more weight than I should have. Oh well.

nope not a stupid question stranjegirl - it depends on when the egg splits. If you have two in the same sac it's definitely identical twins, but if the egg split higher up in the fallopian tube it could come down and have its own sac and placenta. Some of the things I've read say that there is still a 20-30% chance they could be identical although my sonographer is pretty sure they are fraternal (I'm really not sure why though). I guess the only way to know 100% is if they are different genders or if they look different. I'm hoping she's right though because we would love to have one boy and one girl (and then be done lol). My husband said maybe if they are the same gender we try again, I looked at him and said "What? and risk having another set of twins?" =) Hopefully we will be lucky and not have to make that decision!

doh.. I try and eat lots of smaller meals because I find if I eat as much as I used to I don't feel so good (even if I'm still hungry). Although sometimes I can't help myself and overeat. I don't think everyone has food cravings.. I don't tend to get them until someone mentions something.

ended up going to subway for lunch today, so I didn't have to wait until dinner to have some pickles lol!

Very interesting! So I am guessing you can't tell for sure unless you do a blood test after birth? (unless of course they come out looking totally different like you said) I was praying for fraternal twins with one of each! That would be ideal!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! They should be able to tell soon...although mine wanted to keep his legs closed the past 2 ultrasounds, but they still think it's a boy!

[lilrojo]

Hey ladies.. how are you all doing.. im doing well.. Im a lime today.. one week till my next appt..

Hope your all well..

 

[Tobaira]

Yay lime lilrojo! Yay appointment!

I still have about a week and a half before I go back in. Have to go into the dentist for a filling tomorrow (blah). But I do have Friday off of work.. and then Saturday I'm going to this big Moms of Multiples used stuff sale, so hopefully I can pick up some stuff at a good price! Which will actually be the first things I've bought (I've been given all sorts of things, but haven't actually bought anything yet). Besides that not much is going on for me (I guess that is enough lol). My husband decided yesterday at the grocery store that I definitely look pregnant - it was funny, just out of the blue he's like, hey.. you really do look pregnant =)

Hope everyone else is doing well.

 

[lilrojo]
