First timer...

Hi ladies,

My name is BrieAnna and I am currently 25wks pregnant with fraternal girls named Sophia and Olivia.:icon_biggrin: . After five years of TTC follistim injections,hcg and IUI were they key for us. Orginally it was triplets but the third one never developed which honeslty I was ok with,I feel that God won't give you more than you can handle. It's been an amazing 25wks,seeing my belly change and feeling them kick is unbelieveable sometimes it still doesnt seem real.

Yesterday I was able to have a growth u/s of them. They've gotton soo BIG since my 19wk us,I get a u/s every two weeks but its always just a glance of them. So yesterday was very nice to see how their growing and how much they weigh now. Their both almost 2lbs each, 1lb 11oz and 1lb 10oz so that was very nice to hear that their right on schedule.

So I was wondering if anyone else was suffering from aniexty attacks? Lately my chest has been soooooooo tight! I have a ton of stuff going on right now and I am just hoping that it kind of all dies down soon. If so what are you guys doing to help ease the tightness?

 

Hello BrieAnna! Welcome and Congrats on your little girls!! I had to use injections/iui to have my twinkies too!
:hug99: I'm sorry about your third baby. :cray:
The girls sound like they are doing great! :Clap: I'm sorry to hear about your anxiety attacks. I have no suggestions on how to ease the tightness. :hug99: I hope that things do slow down for you and you get to enjoy the rest of your pregnancy without the anxiety. Have you noticed a specific situation that brings them on? :hug99:

 

Congratulations and :sign0016: to TS!! Yay for girls, they are awesome!!

 

Hello BrieAnna!

Congrats on your twins!!! You sound like your doing well! Take it easy with the pregnancy. What does your Dr.
say about your anxiety? Maybe it's just nerves and excitement??? It's a lot what we are going through.
I was very overwhelmed at first. But now, I just want all to be ok. Welcome to the site! I find this to be a great
site!! Good-luck with everything!!

Hi BrieAnna! Welcome to Twinstuff and congrats on your twins! I'm sorry about your third baby, how sad.

I would encourage you to join our Big Sister program. You will be matched up with another Mom with older twins and she will support you throughout your pregnancy. It's a great program. Click on the link in my signature for more informations.

Congrats again!

 

It sounds like we are pretty much at the same stage in our pregnancies. I had my u/s yesterday too, and my girls weigh 1.13 and 1.12. They think they are fraternal because the membrane is fairly thick and they saw the "lambda sign" which almost always indicates fraternal. It is so wonderful to see them in detail and know that they are healthy.

Could you be feeling a bit anxious due to the fact that they are getting bigger? My girls may still be small, but I feel them pressing into my ribs and already feel somewhat constricted. Maybe those sensations are causing you to feel a bit breathless and that leads to the anxiety? Just a thought. It amzes me that I already feel so uncomfortable when I know I am going to get so much bigger. My twin sister had twins two years ago, and her stomach was enormous! I remember her feeling like her ribs would snap. Oh, but it was so worth it in the end.

I hope you are feeling better. Did you pick any names yet? Lisa

 

Welcome to TS!!!
Congrats on your girls.

Follistim and IUI here too!!

 

Hi Brieanna and welcome to Twinstuff! Sounds like you're doing a great job.
When you say anxiety attack, do you just mean short of breath and heart pumping fast? When I experienced this, my Dr. said it was because of the amount of extra blood and the more restricted space my organs had to work in.
Just the same, be sure to pay attn to your body and take it easy!
