We get to meet our boys tomorrow!

I've always really hoped--and assumed--that I'd go into labor on my own before 38 weeks so I wouldn't have to do the whole induction thing but ah well; I am so ready to meet the boys! (And be done with pregnancy for now! My body's had it!) My pro-natural-childbirth (which I theoretically am as well) friends are like, "Are you sure you don't want to hold out a little longer?" They went to 42 weeks with their singletons rather than get induced ... But they've never had twins. And I haven't had any remotely interesting contractions since the false alarm Thursday night so I figure I'm going to end up needing an induction anyway.

Can't believe it's almost here and that soon I'll have a birth story of my own to post. Wow. It's all so surreal.

I'm also kinda kicking myself for scheduling the induction for 37w6d rather than a day later--the rest of my life when I answer the twin questions I'll have to answer the "How long did you carry them?" with the mouthful, "37 weeks 6 days" rather than the simple "38 weeks." Or I might just have to round up. (Unless the induction goes really slowly and they don't come till midnight!)

 

Best of luck tomorrow Amy! :Clap:

I have the same issue (36 weeks 6 days). I always shorten it by saying 36 6 when talking to medical people. If someone really won't get it I round up to 37. Congrats on making it to almost 38!!! That's wonderful! How exciting. It is very surreal when you finally get there. I think I was in disbelief until I was holding and nursing them. Couldn't believe it was finally happening (dream come true after years of trying and finally having them after being so huge and uncomfortable ). Can't wait to read your birth story. Enjoy today's little movements and kicks. I do miss that.

 

Congratulations Amy!! I hope everything goes well tomorrow! Can't wait to read your birth story!

 

How exciting :clapping:
Good luck tomorrow & looking forward to hearing how it goes & seeing pictures of your little ones!!!
(oh, and I say round up )

 

personally, I think you've earned to round up to 38 weeks!!

how exciting! Can't wait to see pics. good luck.

 

Good luck tomorrow - you will do great and those babies will be perfect!!!
You've done great Mama....be proud....

Can't wait to hear your birth story.... :hug:

 

Best of luck to you!!

 

I bet you go into labor tonight. It always seems to happen that way--schedule induction--go into labor night before! Either way, I can't wait to hear how it went and I'm so looking forward to pictures! And FWIW, I say round up. I delivered DD exactly at 38 wks, but DS was 38w2d. I still say 38 wks for both

 

congratulations!!!!!!!

 

Good luck Amy!!! Hope labor and delivery goes short and sweet for you. Can't wait to read your birth story!!!!

 

:woohoo:
Awesome news Amy! I can't wait to see pictures and hear your story. Good luck with everything and God Bless!!

 

Good LUCK!!! we are waiting for the borth story

 

Good luck Amy!! I'm very excited for you!! Can't wait to hear your story and see the pics of those little men!! :wub:

Definetly round up, it's no fun having to spit out a mouthful!

 

Im soooo excited for you.. I can't wait to hear your story and see pics of you little men!!

 

Yippee!!! Congrats on making it to 38 weeks (yeah, just round up!) and I'll be waiting for a picture!

 

Good luck!!! I hope everything goes perfectly! I can't wait to hear your story and see pics!

 

That exactly how long I made it. I usually tell people I made it one day short of 38 weeks so I do kind of wish I went one day longer so i could just say 38 weeks....but at the time one more day just seemed way to long to wait :lol:
Good luck tomorrow!

 

Just say 38 weeks!

I was induced at 37.5 weeks and it was fabulous. I loved the induction process! Good luck.

 

Best wishes for a speedy induction and great labour. See you in the First Year!
