[Mrs W 11]

Hi ladies, after seeing the baby's heartbeats last week, I decided to come on over. I need to read everything and catch up but I just wanted to say hi and yayyy to everyone!!! Right now my EDD is February 9th...buttt they said since its twins its looks like January 19!

Huge congratulations!!! Twins, that's do' exciting I am really thrilled for you hun! Welcome to the baby thread xx

 

[Rigi.kun]

oh wow rigi hope you have your bundle soon!!!! good luck! how are you feeling?

Thank you it's such an exciting time. But it doesn't look like my body wants to play ball as I'm not dilated or effaced... so Bumpy probably won't be here for another couple of days

 

[haj624]

Hey ladies, just for back from the doctor and heard 2 beautiful heartbeats! It made it so much more real. Both babies looked great. One was measuring 3 days behind still the other 4 days but the doctor said that is perfectly fine and he is not worried at all. Does anyone know what the dev percentage on your Sono means?

 

[Wilsey]

Hi Haj - Congrats!!! Such a wonderful feeling eh. Don't know about the % thing but it is very normal for one baby to measure ahead of the other.

 

[armywife11]

Appointment went great. Baby is growing like a weed and had a strong heart rate. I also measured right on track. We are currently head down and low hovering right where we need to be so I am giving little pep talks to convince him/her to say put! lol

 

[likeaustralia]

Lots of great news on this thread today!

Rigi - sending you happy/healthy/not-too-late labor vibes.

So happy you got to hear the heart beats, haj!

And I'm glad you're on track, armywife! Mine's been head down for ages and my mw told me last week he's in a 'great position,' so I just hope he stays where he is too.

Any one else's weight gain seem to have slowed in the third tri? I had gained 3-4lbs between 28-30, then nothing between 30-32 and I don't think I've gained much of anything this week either. Fundal height is still going up and baby was on track (even ahead) at my last ultrasound at 31+3, but it still seems odd as everyone else seems to gain like crazy in the third tri.

 

[armywife11]

I gained a pound in four weeks. I am not looking much into it though because I gained more in my first tri.

 

[likeaustralia]

I gained quite a bit in first and second tri too. I'm not overly worried, it just seems to be the opposite of what "they" say. My mw wasn't worried though, so I guess we're probably be ok.

 

[Wilsey]

Ha I gained over 50lbs in total!! Scary. Lost over 35lbs so far.

Before and after (I hope you can tell which is which haha )

 

[Wilsey]

Oh and some pics of the nursery (finally)

 

[Wilsey]

One more...

What do you ladies think?!

 

[josephine3]

Hey ladies! Rigi you should have got over here long ago!! Hope your day comes soon..
yeah my weight gain has really slowed it worried me too along with the fact my fundal measurments were 'static' too but scan showed baby growing nicely! I also gained a lot in first and second tri, 2 stone altongether! Then at around 29 weeks i seemed to stop gaining and have only gained 2lbs since.

Beautiful nursery Wilsey!
Haj thats great news about the heartbeats and lovely to see you over here!!

 

[armywife11]

I stopped worrying about weight near the end of my second tri. I just hated the scale and found avoiding it made me feel better. lol I have gained.. 25 pounds so far.

Nursery looks great! I am jealous! Hopefully we will get to be putting ours together soon. we kinda have an ideal of when we will be moving ect. but having to wait on things to fall into place.

 

[likeaustralia]

You look great, wilsey!! How are you feeling these days? Has the pp bleeding eased off by now?

 

[Bug222]

I have actually lost weight the last couple of weeks.

The nursery is beautiful Wilsey!!!

Such great news Haj!

OMG 6 days to go!!!!

 

[Wilsey]

Thanks ladies!!

Can't believe how massive I got. But he was 9lbs.

Yup, pp bleeding has stopped. I had an emergency c-section but was fully dilated so still bled
the same as a natural birth.

So not looking forward to this part. I have never worn pads in my life. Buying some the other day was awful..

Same for me!! Well, I wore them when I first started getting periods at 11, but as soon as I was old enough to figure out tampons, I made the switch!! I haven't used pads in YEARS and I'm not looking forward to it, especially in the summer heat. Yuck!

 

[likeaustralia]

I think I may have made up for the lack of weight gain last night and today. I had root beer last night with pizza and TWO big chocolate milks today. Oops.

 

[jmandrews]

Love the nursery Wilsey!!! So cute!!

Wow I wish my weight gain would slow down! I gain about 4 lbs in two week! Total I've gained about 36 lbs! And I don't see myself stopping until I give birth... Haha!
