Twin B turned at 36 weeks!

On Saturday (35+6), I had an appointment with my OBGYN, who said twin B (Robyn) was still breech and he didn't expect her to move at this late stage, but that was ok because she may move during labour or he can get her out manually (I'd like a vaginal birth).

Today (36+2) I a twin research study ultrasound with my peri. Wilbur is 5 pounds 14 ounces and Robyn is 6 pounds 1 ounce. She's also turned head down between Saturday and today!!!! The peri said it is very unusual so late in the pregnancy, and I certainly didn't expect it- there was a lot of movement in the last few days, but I am still "lop sided", ie much bigger on Robyn's side of the tummy. Still, it is good news, it should make a vaginal delivery easier and quicker. There is still plenty of fluid around each of them. Walking home from the hospital, a leisurely walk of about 1.5 mile, was a bit of a struggle today (we got a taxi on the way in as we do not have a car), and I'll probably be taxi-ing it both ways from now on!

 

thats great! any week now they can come

 

'Congrats on your news. I am so excited for you. That is exactly what I hoping for in a couple of months. I really want to have a vaginal birth. Good luck... hopefully all goes well for you!

 

That's awesome! I do hope you get the delivery you desire!
