24 week check

I have now gained 10 lbs!!! My blood pressure was wonderful, Hayden's HR was 145 and Natasha is at 165. She is taking up the majority of the space and he is crowded to the upper right corner. She is the one beatin the crap out of me and my cervix!
Keep up the good work she said, back in 2 weeks will do glucose then as did not do it today. Sono in 4 weeks. We even did a fundal measurement for laughs, I'm only measuring 34cm! Both my midwife and I laughed, I know joke that I am retaining humans. She gave me a big hug and a bag with 15 weeks worth of prenatals, I think we are hoping for babies in 15 weeks Lord willing they come on their own.
There is another mom in the practice with twins at 36 weeks and she should be going on her own soon!

It was a great visit!

I know the feeling! I am overweight, and I had only gained 4 pounds during the first trimester. I am trying to put on a little more for the babies, but I don't want to over do it! Whatever they can get from me as long as they are healthy is okay with me! Good job!!!!

 

great appt!

I am 32 wks pregnant with boy/girl twins and i have gained 0 pounds so far. but i feel huge as a house. I just chalk it up to that i am not a skinny woman anyway. I lost some weight and 2 weeks ago finally reached my prepregnancy weight. With my first child i lost 40 pounds my pregnancy. My doctor jokes that whenever i want to go on a diet that i just get pregnant. I am gald that you had such a great dr appt. Keep up the Good work.

 

Glad you had a great appointment… and only 10 pounds… I’m jealous… I had very bad m/s but still have put on 32 by 22… BUT I had gain over 40 by now with my singleton (80 in all and he came at 35 weeks)… and I have only gone up one size… with him I went up 2 by now… and I was back in my normal jeans by my 2 week check up… so as long as I stay under what I gained with him… I’m ok… but it’s not like I’m gonna diet pregnant with twins…

 

Sounds like you had a great check-up! At my 25 week visit last week, I had gained a total of 25 lbs so far!! EEK! With my last baby, I only gained 19...but I guess this is all for a good cause! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

 

Congrats on your great appointment!

About the weight gain, I hope you girls are not on a diet, you and the babies need all the nutrients and calories you can get. I tend to subscribe to Dr. Luke's philosophy, which is no diet while pregnant. I can't remember how much weight I had gained at 25 weeks, probably something like 30 pounds? not sure... now I have gained a total of 50 pounds at 36 weeks, which is fine for my pre-pregnancy weight, and my weight seems to plateau. Anyway there is a chart in Dr Luke's book, with goals for weight gain depending on the initial body mass index, I thought I'd just mention it for those who haven't read that book.

Keep up the good work!
