New Mommy of Twins!

Hi!

My name is Sara. This is our second pregnancy, with no live births. We lost our first baby to miscarriage in January 2008. It was completely devastating and makes me very, very, nervous and scared.

On Oct. 15th, I had my first prenatal visit. The OB wanted to see a fetus before she sent me to the OB Educator. I had a transvaginal ultrasound and immediately, my husband saw TWO babies. They both had heartbeats around 120. One measured 6w 4d (right on.) ahttp://www.twinstuff.com/forum/style_images/webber1174324027/folder_editor_images/icon_open.gifnd the other was 6w 1d (a little behind). I am scared to death to lose these babies.

I had some spotting during the 5th week and also on 6w, but no more so far! I feel pretty good, I have a cold right now, MASSIVE nausea and vomiting, which isn't too bad... As long as my little twins make it.

I try to think as positive as I can and pray, pray, pray. I think I just need a little more support and I am excited to have found this site.

A picture of our beans. They thought that I had a uterine septum because they are far apart, but I have all ready been to the Maternal Fetal Medicine Center and all that specialist said was "fantastic." What do you think?

Congrats!!! Being a twin mommy is very scary! You will feel like this is a roller coaster ride and once your adorable babies are here, you'll finally be able to hobble off, only to begin the journey of mommyhood. This website saved my sanity when I was pregnant and is still my first stop for any child rearing question I have. WELCOME!! :hug:

 

Welcome, and congratulations!!!

 

Congrats and Welcome! I love this site. It has been so wonderful, supportive and informative. You should sign up to get assigned a big sister. A great way for some personal support and friendship!

 

Congratulations! I'm right there with you too - we just found out we have twins in there! Our official due date is June 8 but we'll see. I'm so scared about losing one too so I know what you're feeling!

 

Congratulations and welcome!! My babies gestational sacs were far apart in the early days as well. Turns out Baby A has a posterior placenta and Baby B has an anterior placenta. Don't know for sure if that is why they are so far apart but in any case they are perfectly fine. Here's my 6 week ultrasound pic so you can see.

:wavey: Sara, welcome to Twinstuff! I'm sorry to hear about your previous loss. :hug: I hope that you have a very safe, happy and healthy pregnancy. Congrats on your twins!! :Clap: I think it is totally normal to feel nervous and scared. Try not to stress it too much, try to focus on the positive and enjoy it as much as you can. I know that is easier said then done, but we're here for you! I look forward to getting to know you!

 

Welcome to TS!!! You will find great support here! I am sorry to hear of your previous loss, so I wholeheartedly congratulate you on your two beans!!!

 

Congratulations on your twins! :Clap: I have no advice about the worries because I'm sure you'll find that it's just a given with pregnancy. Especially with twins. :hug: Try to relax so you don't stress out and just take care of yourself as much as possible.

 

Congrats and Welcome to TS! Wishing you a quick uneventful pregnancy.


Hang in there

Welcome and congratulations on your twins. I understand how scary it can be finding out you have two to worry about but this is a wonderful place to help set your mind at ease. Best of luck!

 

Reminds me of my first ultrasound picture!! Stay with us. This was a great site throughout my pregnancy. Everybody here is extremely helpful. Contratulations & keep us posted!!

 

Welcome and congrats!

Your story sounds alot like mine. I got pregnant for the first time last year and miscarried then got pregnant again with twins! I had bleeding in the beginning, but it stopped and both babies are doing just fine.

 

I was insanely paranoid, scared, nervous, etc. my entire pregnancy. I drove my OB crazy!
If you ever want to talk, I'm here! I, too, had a miscarriage and then a failed IVF before I finally
got my two little ones! They are 4 months old and worth every bit of sacrifice I gave throughout my
pregnancy.

Congratulations!

Thank you for your reply! It was exactly what I needed to hear...that someone could carry twins after a miscarriage!! I am so nervous, but every day gets a little better. I lost my angel babe at 7w, 4 d and today, I am 7 w, 2 d. I know I am not nearly out of the woods after that day, but I hope I can breathe a little easier after that is over.

My OB better get ready! I was highrisk before twins and with this mind, I am all ready a mess!

hugs and Thank you!

 

Welcome and congratulations to you! It is super scary especially after a loss (which I am sad to hear). I think with each stage we get more nervous but try to enjoy the pregnancy as much as you can. I know that is hard to do but when I was scared I would tell myself the babies can feel that and I needed to be strong for them. Then I would start to talk to them and tell them how much I loved them. That really helped me calm down and just relax. After 5yrs of dissapointments I was waiting for something bad to happen (just my luck type of thing) but I repeated that phrase above over and over and I really wound up enjoying my pregnancy and worrying less and less. I agree sign up to have a big sister and visit often we are here for ya!
