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

[messica]

Copy and pasting from AC! My scan this evening went as well as it could have as far as I could tell. She wouldn't say much without radiologist's review, but everything seemed to be there and most of the measurements we saw were 14w6d(!). I haven't managed to gain any weight despite my best efforts so I was relieved to see they are still getting what they're needing. Saw both had four chambered hearts, stomachs, bladders, femurs were calcifying (another relief with my vitamin D deficiency), and were moving around like crazy. She couldn't get a good look at B's bits but said she'd put her money on A being a boy (after being told two weeks ago by doc that B looked like it had a peenie based on nub theory and "antennae prominence," so we may be looking at two boys now lol). They are sitting literally head to head right by my belly button, legs splayed out towards each hip. Would explain why I feel so much movement to my sides already!

To spoil, the tech switched over to 3D a few times, I had no idea they even did that in my clinic/hospital

(A turned right toward the scanner and raised it's fists, almost scared me when (he/she) came up on the screen looking so ticked lol. I said they were probably pissed because dinner was officially late at that point, tech said naw, I bet it's a girl and she's angry I called her a boy lol. Hubs thinks either way, we'll have a boxer on our hands B was on the verge of being psycho spazzy active, so I was shocked when it's pic came up looking so peaceful!!!)

Welcome to the new ladies!!! :wave:

I'm 24 weeks today! Happy V day to my twins!

How's everyone doing? This past week I've got the bloating happening big time. I also jumped on the scale pretty dramatically. I'm hoping the bloating has some of that blame as I haven't changed my eating at all. I'd been holding pretty steady for about 3-4 weeks and now this week alone I added 9 lbs! Yikes! But I seem to recall this happened in the beginning of second trimester too where I jumped in a single week then sat there for awhile so maybe that's just how it goes.

Feelin pretty uncomfortable now but loving all the movements I can feel! Still not what you'd call consistent but I feel them every day usually. I have about 7 weeks of work left if I'm able to make it that far. That's the goal at least as that's when my mat leave can officially start. Can't wait to stay home and rest!! A least until the babies arrive!

Hi Ladies :wave:

Can I join you? I'm expecting twins November 25th. I'm currently 20 weeks and cant wait for our scan on Tuesday, it feels like forever since the last one! As you'll see from my signature, we've been a while getting to this point with quite a lot of heartache on the way, but we are finally here!

We are hoping not to find out the sexes and keep it a surprise. I have a Doppler and have been listing to the heartbeats for a few weeks now. I can also hear them kick! I have had some flutters and yesterday some slight pushing around my bellybutton. I've noticed from the Doppler that they (or their heartbeats anyway) move around quite a lot.

I'm going to have a read through this thread and catch up on your stories! X

 

[MamaMac123]

Welcome Pinkie! :wave:

Such an exciting time! Must be so amazing after such a long road to get to this point. We had a lot of struggles as well but thankfully nothing like what you went through. So happy for you and your babies!!!

 

[Pinkie 33]

Thank you It still doesn't seem real sometimes, too good to be true. I've loved all the grotty pregnancy symptoms and really enjoying this pregnancy as I should think it will be my only chance.

We are nervous about the anomaly scan, I've read it can go on a while with lots of measuring? We have decided we will start shopping for the buggy etc. after the scan.

Anyone else dealing with major numbness??? I've had a large numb patch on my left thigh for awhile and now I'm having major carpal tunnel numbness in my hands and fingers. It sucks. Dr tells me it's all normal so just wondering if anyone else shares in my pain haha
