Morgan-I love docs like that! My doc is like that too, she's pretty supportive of trying a more natural approach as long as it isn't harmful. Marley is adorable in those pics! And don't say that about he orange drink...that's what they gave me, I didn't have a choice! lol
I agree, it's amazing how quickly time is passing! Our doc won't let us go past 39 weeks and today is officially 100 days from that point...
Sonia-I was the same way about kicks! I had a day where I couldn't remember if I'd felt anything and was freaking out, but shortly after they reassured me they were there...Even now if they aren't up at their normal time I'm wondering if everything is ok. It usually doesn't take long before someone kicks the crap out of my cervix though lol
Sandy-I think you asked about the belly band? I like my belly band. I'm not in love with it by any means, but even being this far into the pregnancy I still use it to cover my support belt or to help with shirts that aren't as long as I'd like them to be. I had to wear mine with my maternity jeans bc they were just lose enough that without the band I was pulling them up every couple of minutes.
Cassidy-Aren't preggo dreams the best lol Most of mine involve seeing full body parts protruding from my stomach or having one twin and not the other lol Funny thing is, I think the only gender I remember from a dream is the one I had where I forgot I was still preggo with 2nd twin and had also forgotten to feed the 1st twin...I think the 1st twin was a girl which would be accurate actually lol No other gender specifications though.
Mirolee-So glad you are loving being pregnant
You fought long and hard for it, you deserve to be enjoying it!
On the topic of hunger...I'm usually not very hungry. I have to remind myself to eat. Then randomly I will be starving. The other night we had baked chicken wrapped in bacon and veggies. I couldn't even finish my chicken I was so stuffed. Then about 45 minutes later I was starving lol
I definitely did not get preggo the month I started the thread...I think I got my bfp in Morgan's month of starting it. Didn't 4 of us get preggo that month? She was a lucky charm! lol
Funny you all should be talking about what is considered full term...My doc apt went well yesterday. Both babies are breech and were facing my back, so we didn't get very good pics lol We were hoping for profile pics.
Olivia weighs 1lb 7oz (20th percentile) and Grayson weighs 1lb 10oz (50th percentile). She said that was healthy for both of them, but the percentage between them has increased a little since last month (9% to 12% I think), so that's something to watch bc we don't want them to get too far apart.
Doc said if they stay breech then we are looking at a c-section around April 21st bc that would be 38 wks which is full term for twins. If Olivia turns around, but Grayson is very much bigger than her then that may mean a c-section as well. (Usually if baby A, Olivia, is head down then they don't mind delivering baby B breech bc the pathway is all opened and ready to go lol)
I lost a pound since last week, so she wasn't too happy about that. Wants me to make sure I'm gaining weight even though babies are looking good. I'm sure I'm probably not meeting my calorie goal since I just don't feel super hungry most of the time and have to remind myself to eat. So, I need to start tracking calories again.
Got my wonderful orange glucose drink for my next apt...Oh, and I'm measuring 35 weeks! I'm huge! lol
