Had another ultrasound today

Right now the estimates are Baby A at 4 lbs 3 oz and Baby B at 3 lbs 6 oz. They weren't concerned about the size difference because they both had good blood flow and the placentas didn't seem to have fused. B was a week behind on her belly size, which isn't surprising considering how skinny my DD was at birth, but she was a week ahead on her femur length. Long and skinny!

They are breech/transverse. If A doesn't flip head down again (she flipped breech a month ago) then I'll be having a c-section. I know that some people can deliver that way, but I have some other issues that make the doctors too nervous to try. I would like to avoid the surgery so I've been having discussions with little Ariel who is baby A. She's not listening, LOL.

I was thinking about this earlier... at 40 weeks pregnant with DD I was measuring 40-41 cm and had gained 28 pounds. At 31 weeks pregnant with the twins I am 40 cm and up 28 pounds. I know it's a coincidence, it just seemed funny to me.

I'm shooting for 37 weeks. I'm having an ulcerative colitis flare up which can cause pre-term labor, I'm measuring full term which can cause pre-term labor... and I'm carrying twins at 4'9" which increases my chances of pre-term labor. Luckily I'm not working anymore so hopefully the rest will help them stay in, I'm already having 5 or 6 real contractions a day and a steady stream of BH. Just keeping my fingers crossed!

 

Rest, rest, rest. Take care of yourself. (Eat, eat, eat, too!)

I had a breech A and transverse B. My A was breech for like 15 weeks. He is a quiet, stubborn little boy. His head is also a bit flatter from his brother laying all over it for 15 weeks.

 

Mine were breech/transverse as well. Like the PP said rest and eat! 6 more weeks!

 

Well, I'm certainly resting and eating today! I woke up, got DD ready for daycare (she does most of it now, what happened to my little baby?), had a bowl of cereal and went back to sleep for 2 hours. Since then I've had a microwave egg sandwich, a banana, two cups of juice and I'm eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. What the heck???

 

Sounds ok, it's just an extended breakfast. :lol:

Keep cooking!
