Growth scan was great-good fluid levels and the boys weighed 1.5 and 1.6!! Got some really good profile pics of baby A but B turned face down half way through. They are both still head down and very low.

 

Hi,

I have my consult and 18 week Ultrasound with Peri on Wednesday! Hoping the babies cooperate so we can find out their sexes!! SO EXCITED!

:yahoo: you'll be meeting your little dudes so soon!!! Glad the appointment went great!

 

I have a growth scan, my first NST and an ob appt on wednesday! The doctor's office does all of this stuff in the office so that's really convenient for us. I can't wait to see what they weigh- I'm hoping around 4 1/2 pounds.

 

Level II U/S on Friday. Can't wait to see the girls again!

Hope everyone has positive news this week!

 

I had a doc appt and ultrasound yesterday. Babies are measuring about 5 lbs 7 oz and 5lbs 8 oz. NST went fine.. urine test was fine. They are going to start seeing me twice a week so I have another appt on Friday. Both babies are still facing head down, the little girl is pretty low down, I was suprised at how far down they found her.

Another couple of weeks, if I don't deliver before then, they will schedule a csection or induce me. In all honesty I'm ready to go now lol!

:good: on passing the NST and :good: for a good urine test! Sounds like things are moving along nicely. You are almost there Momma. :hug99:

 

38-week OB visit and ultrasound for growth and BPP. Baby B has flipped head down! They weigh 7 lb. 11 oz. and 7 lb. 10 oz. :blink: Doctor says be patient, but I sure hope they come out soon. Good thing I didn't take tags off the newborn sized clothes!

 

I had my regular OB appointment on Tuesday and the babies heartbeats were 153 and 159. He checked my cervix and it is still good! Thus far I have gained 13.3 pounds! My blood pressure was 120/66. Everything looks good. I stop getting my progesterone shots at 35 weeks. So only 3 more shots! I am getting the babies bags ready today! I have already packed my bag and I am ready to go just in case!!!

:yahoo: Molly, everything sounds like it's going good. Have fun packing everything.

 

I had my Dr appt yesterday. I had to wait 3 hours before being seen!! It kinda ticked me off cause I was having a lot of BH contractions while waiting and I had to tell someone about them cause I was getting worried and it still took like another 40 min. This is becuase there are only 4 OB/Gyns for the town and all surrounding towns (including mine) and he's the best when it comes to high risk pregnancies so everyone with twins and whatnot go to him. He also answers all your questions without rushing which is nice and somewhat explains the wait.

Well everything looks good. Baby A kept trying to kick the doppler so it was hard to get a good heartbeat for him. Also at 16 weeks I'm measuring at 22 weeks! But of course when I went to see my fiancé's grandmother says I don't even look 4 months. She and my fiancé's mother piss me off cause they ALWAYS say that I'm not big enough, perhaps that's because I hate their cooking so I don't eat a bunch of their food. You'd think that if I weren't big enough the doctor would say something!

/rant
Sorry had to get that out, hate when I have to wait 3 hrs and have other people constantly tell me I'm not big enough and I'm already struggling to get around more.

Edited due to placenta brain.

Laura


My 18 week appt and ultrasound with Perinatologist went well this morning!! Despite my anxiety and fear (due to past miscarriage) they are both doing great!! They are measuring perfect ! We found out baby B is a BOY and Baby A is suspected to be a girl but was being a bit shy so didn't get a good enough look to be sure. . .But I am still hoping that it turns out to be a girl (since we also have a 3 year old son). . .Either way, I am just soooo relieved and happy that they are doing GREAT! I also found out that my AFP cam back negative as well as all my other blood work related to the babies and my high blood pressure! My blood pressure has been GREAT, which is not like me! So that is good news! My iron was a little low, but other than that, everything is going well!! YEAH! Hopefully Baby A will cooperate a little more in 4 weeks at my next ultrasound!!

Laura

 

We just had an ultrasound on the 23 and an appointment on the 24. The boys were doing great. A was measuring 2 lb 5 1/2 oz with a heart rate of 146 and B was measuring 2 lb 9 1/2 oz with a heart rate of 162. They were both moving all around. A is breach with his head at my ribs and B is transverse with his spine up at my ribs and his feet by his brother. So it seems a c-section is the route we will be going. The doctor said their heart rates were both about 152. He also said that the next goal we have is to make it 6 more weeks to 34 weeks. My belly ironically was measuring 34 weeks at this appointment. I have been on ultrasounds every 3 weeks for the past three weeks or so, and am now going to be going weekly to the doctor and will be starting non stress tests twice a weeks beginning Tue, which is the same day as my next appointment. I think that is everything from the two appointments. Lots to take in. Just need to rest and be sure to be getting enough fluids to avoid these contractions that come and go. They did tell me at the ultrasound that the cervix was nice and long and the fluid was generous, so it seems that we are on the right track for now!

 

I had my Ob appointment today and we got to do a quick u/s. There heartbeats are good at 140 for the both of them. Baby A is still breach but is still higher up then baby B who is head down still. So if baby B stays head down and the farthest down it looks like Baby B will be born first without a c-section. Yeah I'm happy about that.

Regular OB appt today went very well. Membrane was very visible today and floating around which is a sign of good fluids I guess.

I have an OB appointment and BPP tomorrow.


[SIZE=12pt]My appointments went great Tuesday. The babies were very active during my BPP so their heartrates were a bit elevated so since I'm so close to 32 weeks the nurse decided to do an NST as well just to make sure their heart rates calmed down, which they did. So got a 10/10 for my BPP & NST!!! Then went to my OB and I'm measuring 46 cm BP was 110/60, I had gained 3 lbs in 2 weeks, which makes me happy because I felt like I hadn't really been eating that much 'cause I just can't . . . there's no room!!! All in all two great appointments. [/SIZE]

Get it out woman! We're here to listen and give a :hug99: I'm sorry about the wait and your IL's. <_< People told me that ALL the time when I was pregnant, and I had pretty big babies, so just let it roll off your back {eventhough I know it's hard} they aren't doctors. :hug99:


Laura, :yahoo: on finding out you are having a boy and maybe a girl! :laughing: I hope next time she isn't shy and shows you she is a SHE. I'm also happy that things are looking good!

Leslie, :yahoo: for great appointments!!

 

Just an update... I am now going to the docs 2 days a week for the NST.. today was my last one for this week. I found out some good news! I am 2 cm dialated and 100% effaced.. he could feel one of the heads so he said it will be any day now. He did schedule for me to be induced on July 7th at 7:30 am in case I make it that long.
