A whole new plan!

My head is swimming so hopefully I can make some sense here. Here are the baby stats:

Baby A - 4lbs 9 oz HEAD DOWN!!!!!

Baby B - 5lbs 10 oz Vertex (sideways across the top)

My BP was 156/90 so they drew blood again. My labs have been okay in the past so I am not too nervous about those. If something looks bad though all this new plan stuff is out the window but for now the new plan is...

I am scheduled to be induced to give birth vaginally on May 20th. OMG I can't even believe that. I had totally given up on a vag birth because Baby A was breech. My OB said it is risky to deliver my twins vaginally since Baby A is 1 lb. smaller than Baby B. But their heads are about the same size. I do NOT want to end up with both a vag birth AND a c-section. That would suck. But I told the OB that I've had 2 nine pound babies and the last one came out in 3 pushes. I can do a breech birth of the 2nd twin no problem. LOL

I go in again on Thursday for a NST and cervix check. No one has checked my cervix this whole time so I have no idea where it's at. I need to start doing all those ripening things ASAP. Then I come in on Monday, the 19th for a final cervix check. If it's not favorable at all I may still end up with a c/s because the growth disparity and Pre-e stuff means that they still want the babies born next week. Or if my BP goes crazy high, I could deliver earlier.

To top all this off, my OB is out of town this week Wed - Sun. Why does this always happen to me???? So no babies those 5 days, K?

 

Wow, they are great sizes! I hope you are able to deliver vaginally. It is so much easier then getting over a surgery. Keep those babies cooking while your doctor is away! Rest a lot and don't let that bp get any higher!

 

:Clap: Great weights and I'm so happy Baby A is head down! Don't forget that the measurements through the u/s can be off. They told me that my son {baby a} was 1.5lbs smaller then my dd and it turned out he was almost 2lbs bigger! :huh: Good luck, and stay in five more days babies! :lol:

 

woohoo.. its almost your time.. I hope they stick in there JUUUUUUST long enough.. Congrats on a head down twin A

 

Did you do anything to get Baby A to turn? Did you notice when it happened?

 

We have a deep bathtub and I've been taking at least one bath a day. I'll roll over on my knees and elbows and sway my tummy back and forth. They always seem to get quiet when I do that though. I'd also started really concentrating on laying and sleeping on my left side (Baby A is on the lower right). 2 days ago I woke from my nap and felt like the babies had dropped, there was a lot more pressure in my pelvis. I'm guessing that's when she turned.

 

Glad you got a pleasant surprise at your appt. Sounds like a good plan and it won't be long now.
