Oh, I think 2 little girls sounds lovely! I'm sorry the reaction from your family was not super positive - that can be so deflating! I'm sure they'll come around. Can they tell (and sorry if you've already addressed this in a prior post) if the twins will be identical or fraternal?
 
Yay for two little girls.. thats so exciting.. :)
 
Congrats on the twin girls Tobaira!! I'm sure your family will come around. My mom really wanted me to have a girl, but is so excited about baby Jack now!!

My good friend just had twin girls on Sept 3rd and they are so precious. I haven't actually seen them yet (only in pics), but I will this Friday. They were born at 34w5d, one weighed 4 lb 4 oz and the other 4 lb 10 oz. So not too bad to be a bit early. They also only spent 2 weeks in the NICU which I think was really good. Only reason they were there so long was because they were just not eating like they needed to, so they had little feeding tubes in their noses. The pics of them with their feeding tubes was so cute! Ha! But no issues with lungs or breathing or anything which is great!!
Sorry, I know I went off on a bit of a rant, but she's the only person I know close who's had twins.....

I have an appt this Friday, but I don't think it'll be anything special....except this is my first experience with my new dr since I'm being forced against my will to change because of insurance!! AAaahh! Makes me so mad, but I've heard great things about this Dr and he comes highly recommended, but it's really the fact that he's a HE!! I know that shouldn't matter, but I've only ever went to my Dr who's a female, so it will def. be a change. Oh well, nothing I can do except suck it up!

Hope you all are well....
Oh, and I hope you get to find out your baby's sex Thursday Dreamer!! Good luck!!

OFFICIALLY HALFWAY TOMORROW!! YAY!!
 
Good luck ladyL and dreamer with your scans!!! Very excited for you, and LadyL, I was the same way with male doctors. I had only been to females and when I moved to this area over a year ago my friend convinced me to go to her male doctor (obgyn) and I am SO happy I have him. We were supposed to move next month, but I didn't want to leave him because he is the best doctor, both knowledgeable and bedside manner, that I have ever had in my life. He's gay which helps a lot with the comfort level, and I honestly feel more comfortable with him than I did with any female doctor, ever. I really hope you have the same experience. I just wanted to tell you that to give you some hope that male doctors can be wonderful sometimes!

Congrats Tobaira!!! I know what you mean about being bummed as we thought we were having a boy and the middle name was going to be my dad's. He is almost 80 and I was excited to still have him here and name the baby after him. Oh well, aside from the name thing I know having a girl is going to be wonderful, and especially for you as they will be best friends!!! The twin girls I know are so close and it is so neat to see! Congrats and I know your family will be thrilled once it settles in!!
 
Thanks girls I really appreciate all your words.. my poor husband, I haven't been overly emotional this whole pregnancy and this has just got me turned into the waterworks. And I'm one of those people who really really really hates to cry.. I'm sure tomorrow will be better. =)

working - they were pretty sure they were fraternal at my first visit at 7 weeks and I guess that's when you can really tell, but there is always the chance they could be identical - we won't know until after their born and even then it might take awhile

sorry about having to change dr's LadyL - I totally know what you mean about the dr being a he, that would bother me too, but hopefully he's so great that you forget all about that
 
congrats on your twin girlies tobaira!!! sorry to hear about your family's reaction, i'm sure they will come around. any baby is a gift no matter the gender and i'm sure they'll see that. just takes a bit of getting used to if you had hopes it was one or the other i guess.

i don't know quite how it works in the US, but in the UK we see a midwife who is the primary carer during pregnancy and only a few times the doctor. My midwife is a lovely lady, and my doctor a male (the random one i saw when we went in to confirm the pregnancy at 5 weeks as that seems to be who you are assigned!) but he only sees us a couple of times, and just checks blood pressure etc so it doesnt bother me he is male x
 
Lady-I had a female dr as well.. with the birth of my dd.. that was all i ever wanted.. and now i have a male and he is great.. sometimes men are better than women at being drs... :) and yay for you all being 20 weeks or about that.. were all getting there now..
 
congratulations tobaira! take no notice of your family, your babies are a blessing x

had my nt scan today, baby was very laid back with arms by its head and ankles crossed, just like its father lol
measuring just over 7 cm now, i couldn't believe the changes in 2 weeks. was amazing and a much nicer experience this time around :) x

Yay!!!!!!! I am so excited for you!!! I have been watching your charts and was just about to check to see if you tested when I saw your post here! That is such great news. TTC is so draining but it is all worth it when you finally get that bfp! Congrats futuremama! Wishing you a happy and healthy nine months!!!!! :)
 
CONGRATULATIONS futuremama!!!! so excited for you to get your :bfp: welcome to the grad thread :D xxx
 
:wohoo: Welcome Future mama!! I'm so happy to see you over here!!! Maybe that was a lucky box of sticks... lol!!! =)
 
This is the best news!! So happy for your Futuremama!!! Welcome to the Grad thread!! :happydance:

We had our 15 week appointment today...and now DH is saying he feels like maybe we should have found out the gender...I don't know that we're going to stay team green for too long now. He seems to be changing his mind (and since I don't feel strongly either way--but would love to know--we're following his lead). Soooo we'll see what 19 weeks brings!
 
Thank you guys so much!! I'm glad everyone is doing so well. I'm just so excited to finally be here with you girls!!!! :happydance::happydance:
 
Yay congratulations future mama, fantastic news. Hope you stop shaking soon.
Also congratulations tobaira, how lovely to have two twin girls...so cute.
Cant wait to hear what your having dreamer....bet you are so excited xx
 
When is your first dr's appt futuremama?

Dreamer, I will cross my fingers that today goes by very quickly for you! Can't wait to hear how your scan goes!

Is anyone else getting leg cramps?? FOr some reason I thought I was doing so well and hadn't had one until a few weeks ago I got a terrible one. My leg was sore for a week after. Then the night before last I got 2 at the same time!!! ONe is each leg at the same time and I thought I was going to die. ONe leg was worse than the other and it is still so so sore. My feet also feel like they could cramp up any minute. Between the random bleeding (which always comes in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning) and the leg cramps, I am afraid to go to sleep! Hope everyone else is getting by without cramps!!!

I'm going to the dr tomorrow for a blood test, and again on Monday to make sure they're increasing like they should. I guess my first ultrasound will be in a couple weeks. They said they generally do them around 6-7 weeks. I'm sorry you're having leg cramps, I'm really nervous about them since I get them occasionally now and they HURT! My mom said she experienced them throughout both her pregnancies, so I imagine it's fairly common. I hope they get better soon
