November Sparklers 2014....22 boys, 22 girls born! Please update us!

I need to pat myself on the back for a moment...I just went to get lunch, and I REALLY wanted a side of french fries and a cookie. However, I went with the side of roasted veggies and a big delicious fruit salad.

Yay me!

As I read that, I just took a bite of a chocolate bar, LOL

I wasn't gassy with DD1. Just morning sickness in first tri followed by horrible acid reflux from 15 weeks until delivery So far none of that - but gas? Yep! Nasty.

My husband gets on me about my prenatals too. I take them at night before I brush my teeth so I can't forget!

Funny story, my mom told me when she was pregnant with my 2 younger brothers (in 1990 and 1993), the doctor told her she didn't need prenatals because, with two kids running around, she probably ate pretty healthy. It amazes me how much things have changed in 20 or so years!

I was so proud of myself for getting salmon, brown rice, and veggies for lunch. Then I just ate a bunch of skittles. Woopsie.

I also forget my prenatals sometimes. I have gummy ones so they are pretty tasty and I try to think of them as my after dinner dessert. Still forget sometimes though!

 

[MarieMo7]

Salmon, brown rice and veggies sounds yummy. Now I want THAT.

My bad ankle and foot is swelling again. It was swelling a few weeks back, but was normal after that. Today it's really bad. Hmmm.... I def need more water. Is swelling at 21 weeks somewhat normal, or still early?

Had a doctor appointment today. She wants me to put my c section on the books already! She wants me to pick between Friday 11/8, Monday 11/10, and Tuesday 11/11 when I'm 38 weeks. So crazy... And makes me feel so far along to already be at that point and thinking of babies bdays! I'm still undecided if I'm going to try for a normal VBAC, or go for the section, but am starting to lean section. My doctor thinks I should put it in the books now, even if I change my mind later just so it's done. Of course I could always go into labor on my own before the planned section ...average twin birth is 36 weeks.

 

[Twinklie12]

I would imagine maybe symptoms start sooner with twins, like swelling? But alli can say is drink more water and put your feet up, also avoid salty high sodium foods. Hope you can get some relief.

Scheduling the section would really drive home how real this is! Wow!

 

[mandaa1220]

Wow can't believe we're talking baby birthdays already! Time is a flyin!

I have a horrible pain right where my right leg joins my hip that won't go away. It's worse in the mornings but it's starting to interfere with my job! I work with little ones and the angle I have to stand at (bending forward to be eye-level) makes it almost impossible for me to walk afterward. I thought it was just RLP but now I'm not so sure? I can barely even stand up after using the restroom because it sends shooting pains into my hip area.

Dissy that sounds like pain from loose joints because of the relaxin. I wish I knew something that would help. Maybe taking hot baths? I do and I asked my doc today about it she said it's fine for now, but they advise not too in the late last tri because your water might break and you not know it. Hot baths help me with my aches and pains.

And Missy, I have alot of swelling in my feet, have since at least 18 weeks I think. Doc isn't worried about it, just says to elevate and drink more water. How exiting to get to pick babies birthday!! Yes, it does seem so soon, this pregnancy really seems to be flying by.

 

[enan88]

Dissy I kinda have the same. Is the sacroiliac joints that is getting softer, I would say the same that my physio said. Hot bottle for 30 min or ice ice for 5-10 min. and pelvic floor execises. Try not to seat on too hard places and If you do put a cushion/pillow/towels under your legs so your sacrum area is not touching where you're sitting. And just be patient.

In my case I have my coccix ( tail bone ) bent and facing leftsides due to an old injury and I'm kind of getting it sorted by an Osteopath specialised in pregnacy cases. Maybe go to a physiotherapist and see what he/she sais.

Wow - it sounds like you have a doctor who is very on the ball!? I'd get a date in if i were you, even if you opt to try for a normal VBAC!

11/11 would be easy to remember and give you a bit more time!!

Ugh, I don't have much to say to help other than I hope you get some releif and feel better soon!

Congrats to all who have found out recently what they are having.

we have our u/s today. Still not sure if we are staying team yellow or if we are going to find out. I'm really on the fence and so is my OH.

I'm in a lot of pain today. I do inventory almost every week at work. We do it on Tuesdays. And this time we are thinking we are going to get an audit soon so my boss wanted us to do a barcode inventory, which means we have to find the barcode on every piece of inventory and scan it. For the most part this week my Sales manager helped me, but bc of it being a barcode inventory, it was taking alot longer to get inventory done (normally takes me just less than an hour to do, but yesterday took me 2 1/2 hours), so I start moving things to get to the barcode. Also with bending down and standing back up constantly, I worked up a sweat. But now, my body is hurting. I know I overdid it yesterday. Feet/ankles were swollen by the time I came home, and today my thigh muscles are so stiff.

I need a sudden burst of nesting please! My in-laws are coming over tomorrow and I have been so tired and achy this last week that my housework has gone out the window and now I am having do get the whole flat perfect, and it is absolutely boiling as well. This is going to be a long sweaty day

 

[Twinklie12]

Ugh, cleaning the house when it's hot and you are tired is the worst, good luck!

I'm right there with ya. We've started cleaning out the nursery but still have lots to do and it seems we aren't getting anywhere !

21 and a half week bump taken yesterday. Just chilling in the sun

 

[cncem]

That's so cute Salu, bump is coming along nicely.

Fishy, do you exercise? I know it's hot, it's 100 degrees outside here, so it about 79 inside. I do a little light prenatal pilates on the maternity ball and I feel energized afterwards and then clean my house. The hard part is getting started with the pilates but I find it gives me so much energy. I will admit to taking caffeine pills sometimes, my doc said it's ok, just 1 a day, instead of coffee or soda, but since I've been working out I havn't had to take any.

I have NASTY gas i hate it cause then i say to myself WHOA LOL. I had a leak 2 nights ago, boob leak. I wasnt surprised to start leaking already. My arm was literally crusty lol of the dried milk. Is anyone here getting the 3d/4d sono? If so at how many weeks?

 

[Missyann]

And all this talk about prenatal reminds me that I forgot to take them this morning. Oops.

A lot of the nursery stuff arrived last weekend so I get to put together a glide rocker, a dresser, and a crib. So excited to get it all in place. We're also installing a screen door on the nursery because our cats are way too curious and friendly. Then we can keep the door open a little without worrying.
