Maggie & Sophie have arrived!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you know that my girls arrived on March 1st. I delivered at 38 weeks exactly & delivered both of them vaginally! WOOHOO!!

Maggie Lauren arrived at 7:33 PM, 6lbs 7oz & 19.5" long, & Sophie Michelle arrived at 7:56 PM, 6lbs 1oz & 20" long. It took Sophie a little bit to come down b/c the cord was wrapped around her foot LOL. My epidural was fantastic & we got each of them out in about 6 pushes. FANTASTIC! I had a tiny 1cm tear, but not bad at all.

Oh, & I had a question...their placenta looked either fused or shared. OB wasn't sure...they are fraternal though for sure. They also have different blood types. Is that normal??

Thanks ladies! Just wanted to share.

 

Dont know about the placenta/blood thing, but I wanted to say congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great weights and way to go to 38 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Congrats on your girls! What a great story, I hope mine turns out the way yours did, well thats the plan.....we'll see.

What great baby weights too! WTG!

As far as the placenta goes....mine looks like it could be fused together, or else it is one...the sonographer couldn't tell. But I am sure that was the case with yours. They were probably so close together that they started to fuse, it might have not happened until the second trimester. But you do know that they are fraternal, so you could only assume each had her own.

Anyways, Take care, and post some pictures when you find some time.

Wow 38 weeks! Very impressive.
Congrats on your girls.

 

Congrats on the arrival of your little girls!! If they have different blood types then they are definitely fraternal and definitely would have each had their own placenta. My guess is that the placentas must have fused together.

 

Congratulations!

Fusing of the placentas definitely does happen, sounds like that may have happened with your girls due to the different blood types.

Don't forget to take care of yourself Mommy!

 

Congratulations!!! March 1st is a very special day in our home too, as Ben and Hannah share the same birthday as your little Maggie and Sophie!

Enjoy this time with your babies!!!

 

Congratulations!! Way to carry 2 babes to 38 weeks! Holy cow! You are a super-momma!

Sounds like a fused placenta.

 

CONGRATS!!!!!

You had what I consider my ideal or dream delivery!!!! Full term, delivered vaginally & nice healthy babies, what more can you ask for!!!!

 

Congratulations! Glad all went well! Love their names!

 

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Great weight and size for both of them; I hope I'm that lucky.

 

Congrats! Happy Birthday Maggie and Sophie!

Welcome to FY!

 

Congrats! What a great birth story!!

 

CONGRATULATIONS!!! SWEET GIRLS!!!

 

Congratulations!!! Love the names! (we have a Maggie too!)

 

Sounds like a good birth, and you got to deliver them vaginally! Your bonding time will get to start much sooner...

Congratulations on your little miracles!!

I'll be glad to see you over in the FY and we can't wait to answer questions and give you advice along the way.

 

Congrats on the healthy babies.....I love the names (my name is maggie) and the weights are wonderful

 

Congratulations! What a wonderful delivery.

As I'm sure others have said, since the babies have different blood types they are definitely fraternal and that means the placenta was fused, not shared. A fused placenta is perfectly normal and common.

 

Congratulations! I'm sure Kaylee is enjoying her new little sisters! I love their names.

 

Thank you all so much for the good wishes & the placenta info!

 

Congratulations on the births of your daughters! Glad they are doing so well! to FY!
