Mahas-congrats! Your babies share my bday

Brandy-I can't believe yours are still in there! Lol

Me either LOL! I fought so hard to keep them in and the doctors all thought I was nuts and now they dont wanna come out 1 day at a time though... woke up not in too much pain yet today so hopefully it will be a good day. There are some though that are horribly tough! I talk to the Dr on Thursday though and we will decide if we are going to switch from waiting to a csection.

 

[Mahas]

Thank you very much ladies!
Brandy I made it to 37 weeks... And they were 2.4 and 2.5kgs... Ok weight for twins��

Am in love all over again!!

BC- How are you holding up?

 

[mwb2040]

Congrats Mahas!!

Would love to hear some opinions about when to go on maternity/sick leave with twins… I work full-time (desk job) and so far it's going well, but I'm starting to get a little more uncomfortable. Would love to work as long as possible though, so I'm not cutting into my maternity leave after I have the babies. Thoughts??

 

[trgirl308]

My doc stopped me automatically at 24 weeks, I was fine but that was her preference. And I have short-term disability so it doesn't affect my mat leave... I could've probably worked longer but am very happy to be able to rest at home. The risk of premature labour is so much higher that even if you feel ok it is probably still better to stop sooner rather than later, but the choice is up to you.

My twins specialist ob said she sees most women stop around 30 weeks. Seems about right to me. I'm struggling! But I work from home and I've just reduced my hours bit by bit over the past few weeks. Not sure how much longer I'll carry on personally, I can use the money for sure and it's really not too bad if it's only a few hours a day. I can't imagine having to commute somewhere or be on my feet at all during the day.

 

[~Brandy~]

I had to stop at 20w even though I have a desk job.

 

[Bcinla]

BC- How are you holding up?

Brandy, I am hanging in there, thanks for asking. I am so ready to have babies!!!! Going in for an induction Sunday night and counting the hours and minutes. Both babies are now head down so I will attempt a vaginal delivery. These past couple weeks have been challenging to say the least but with the end prize in sight I am just focusing on that. I had appointments yesterday and they found protein and keytones in my pee and baby B has excessive fluid all of the sudden. I worked it trying to get them to deliver me then but the doctor did not seem concerned and said we can wait until induction day.

How are you doing? Are you home or back in the hospital? Any talk of an indication date for you?

 

[Blue12]

Getting exciting in here. Lots of twins just around the corner.

I worked until 32 weeks but had a job on my feet most of the day. At this point in time though I can hardly handle any position. I can't wait to have these babies!!!

 

[jury3]

Bcinia-So exciting! I can't wait to see all these upcoming babies

I went off work at 24 weeks. I probably could have lasted a few more weeks, especially if I had a desk job. However, my job was too stressful and I was starting to get too tired. Honestly, I think around 27/28 would have been my cut off.

 

[~Brandy~]

BC- They let me go home last weekend but I have lots of appts at the doctors off this week for monitoring/testing/Dr appt. I have an appt tomorrow morning after all my testing at 9am to see how the girls and I are holding up to this torture. I am torn right now as if to beg them to get them out of me or let me wait it out. I plan to make up my mind at the appt lol

Blue- I totally feel for you!

Jury- I am with you on that right when I hit the 3rd tri is when it all went to hell in a handbasket and I felt horrible.

My OB and Family Dr told me that I should aim to be off of work at 28 weeks... I kept working past it but now I'm reaching my limit - next week will be my last (so I'll be 31 weeks). I still have to deal with moving houses though

I have a desk job (mainly) but I have a long commute and I have a lot of meetings and presentations in my day to day work so I'm on my feet and walking around way more than I would like.

Also, as of my Dr appointment yesterday I have ketones in my urine because I'm not being able to eat anything. I'm throwing up all the time or feel full and have no space - so my body is going into starvation mode. I'm 30 weeks and I'm still down 2 pounds from my pre pregnancy weight....

that is rough! My pregnancy book for multiples suggested if that happens try some meal replacements like boost etc. I threw up the other day because I ate too much at once too. Wasn't even that big of a meal. are you still recovering from being sick too?

 

[Dis3tnd]

Definitely still haven't recovered fully. I have a lingering cough and I know you ladies understand how much it hurts down there when we cough or sneeze.... and the phlegm (lovely I know) makes me gag all the time! My body is just drained.

I've started to add meal replacements into my life - as much as I dislike them. Ice cream goes down well too!
