twin mamas to be when are you due and what/who are you having?

Forums New posts
Hi everyone! Im Amanda and I'm brand new to the twin mom club! We just found out two days ago that we are having twins! Only at 6 weeks today so still a long way to go. Due date is Oct 30 and of course we are team yellow for now but we intend to find out genders. Our babes are fraternal. My prediction is boy/girl but we will see. May be wishful thinking haha would be great to get one of each in one shot! If not though I think it will be girl/girl. I simply can't picture it being boy/boy. I have 3 step daughters so I'm sure two boys would thrill DH but none of us can really imagine that happening. But anything is possible right? :)

Hoping to connect with other twin moms both currently pregnant and those with their babes. Would love any and all advice, tips etc! This is my first pregnancy so it's all new to me!
 
D-sorry you aren't able to eat. Hopefully the meal replacements work. Glad you've chosen a day to stop working! You need some rest before the babies are here! And I agree, sneezing is the worst!

Mamamac, congrats! I'm having 2 boys and I already have 1 boy at home... so you never know! Fx you have a happy and healthy pregnancy. :)
 
Welcome Amanda! Nice to see another Canuck twin mamma-to-be! This board is very helpful with advice and hearing other's experience is great too.

D - holy heck! You are tougher than me. I would have stopped working already lol. Ice cream is definitely a good thing. :thumbup: i have a bowl most nights.
 
I am craving chocolate.... like I do everyday. And I really want to bake brownies, but I know if I do I'll eat like half of them before DH even gets home from work.... and that would be bad.... so instead I am sitting here thinking of what else I can eat, without having to leave the house and buy chocolate. I did not have cravings like this with my son!
 
Omg I know! My friend posted an instagram of this chocolate muffin she had for breakfast and I've been obsessing over it all day.
 
Update for me- I just went to the doctor and did my testing and it all came back ok. However, the doctor did a check on me because I had been complaining of cervix pain. He was shocked and asked if I was feeling contractions... I said no I have less contractions now than before we stopped my PTL. Turns out I am 4.5cm dilated and 75% effaced. He told me I could go straight to the hospital now or go home and do activities to see if I can start contractions. I am tired of the hospital and have chosen to come home! I am doing laundry and waiting for my water to break and or contractions. I am in alot of pain just apparently not the normal labor type pain. He said there is no way I will make it through tomorrow night so we shall see
 
Eek! Omg good luck B!!! Keep us posted!
You can come do my laundry if you like lol!

Very exciting!!!! Good luck! :)
 
Omg brandy. That is sooooooo exciting!!!!! I'm so jealous lol. I've got another week to go until my csection.
 
Brandy this is so exciting!! I can't wait to see pictures of your girls! Hoping you have an easy delivery!
 
Thanks everyone for the opinions. I'm really hoping to work until at least 30-32 weeks and my boss has already told me I could start working from home a couple of days a week. That would be a huge help. Just to be able to be more comfortable. But I can see how it's all gonna go downhill pretty quickly in the third tri. People tell you that and now that I'm starting to feel it, I'm like "Ahhhh, now it makes sense!"

Brandy - So exciting!!!

I love how everyone is carrying all the way until 36-37, way to go ladies!! Making some strong, big babies, I love it!!
 
MWB thats when I had my aha moment... I was cruising along in my pregnancy and hit a HUGE wall at about 27-28W I knew then I was in for an adventure lol.


Thanks all for the well wishes! I am not contracting as of now but I am having alot more pressure and cervical pain so the doctor is having me check into the hospital where I can be checked regularly. FX I go tonight or tomorrow!
 
MamaMac123-Congrats and welcome!

Brandy-So exciting!!! I can't wait to see some pics!
 
Good luck Brandy! Hope it goes well and can't wait to see pics of the little ones. :)

Welcome and congrats!!! I will add you to our due date list on the first page.
 
Is anyone else feeling really sleepy once they hit 30 ish weeks?
I am struggling to keep my eyes open
 
Yes. Partially cuz I don't sleep super well at night, but even when I have a good night, or a good nap I still feel destroyed pretty much all the time. Our bodies are working very hard whether we realize it or not!
