This Week's Appointments Jan. 9-13

This is our weekly appointment thread for the week of Jan. 9-13. Please reply here and let us know any appointments you have this week. Don't forget to come back and update us on how the appointment went. Good luck at all appointments.

 

I have another ultrasound this Thursday (I'm 26 weeks this week). I had one two weeks ago, and Twin B (they're di-di) is measuring smaller than Twin A and the OB wants to make sure that she's growing appropriately. She says not to worry, but I am a bit (of course). However, I'm a little less concerned now as I've been feeling both A and B move around on the outside of my belly; Twin B has always been quieter than A, so I hope it's a good sign that I feel her moving more.

The 24-wk weights were 1 lb, 8 oz for A and 1 lb, 3 oz for B. I've been reading the other threads about weight discrepancies, so I know that it's common, but I just hope that they're both putting on the right amount of weight.

 

I'm 32 weeks, started NST's. BAbies are really active and I'm having lots of braxton hicks...hoping that doesn't mean anything. I would love to make it to 36 weeks! Jen your weights look good. I think mine where around there at 24 weeks. My B was always behind by 4-5 days until around 22 weeks and now he is 4.5 and A is 4.1! It's great they are keeping a close eye though.

 

We had another good apt this week. Everything looks good with both of the babes. We'll probably book induction at next week's apt. The Dr says it will be some time between the 22nd and 26th. So soon! And yet, so far!

 

All I had this week was the awful glucose tolerance test. Just hoping I passed...

Glad to hear everyone is doing well.

JenNH: I hope today's ultrasound shows two babies measuring similarly and looking great.

 

My US today was good news - both babies are growing well. They were 5 oz apart at 24 weeks and now at 26 weeks they are only 3 oz apart. Twin A is 2 lbs and Twin B (the one they were concerned about) is 1 lb, 13 oz. So that's a relief.

I'll be doing my glucose test in the next week or two and going in for another US and appt in three weeks.

Hope everyone else had good appointments!

 

Had an appointment on Wednesday, BP was good, doc wouldn't tell me if Baby A is still breech or not, and that I have until 37 weeks for him/her to turn so I shouldn't worry. I feel big strong movements all the time still so its possible the baby turned...here's hoping! If the baby hasn't turned next week though I'm thinking of asking him to schedule a c section for the 19th or 20th since that is when my mom is coming (she teaches in private school and has weird vacations) and I might as well take advantage of the help if I'm going to be recovering from a C. I will be just about 37 weeks then, so we'll see what he says at my apt next week.

 

I had my 34+3 weeks appointment today. Baby A is still breech My blood pressure was a little high so they waited a while and checked it again and it was normal, but my doc still wants me to come in again next Wed. the 18th to check it again, to rule out preeclampsia. I'm getting soooo anxious and scared about delivery, I'm leaning towards just scheduling a c-section. I feel like a coward, I'm just starting to really worry about what can go wrong. He will only deliver vagianlly if baby A is head down anyway. He says he may still turn. Is 37 weeks to early to induce or schedule a c-section? I don't want to deliver too early and something be wrong because they weren't ready.

 

La Chava, hopefully he'll turn for you and 37 weeks is not too early at all. My boys were born at 37 weeks and were good weights, Baby A was 6lbs 9oz and his brother was 5lbs 2oz
