re: PREGNANT WITH TWINS? (or more)

megs~
I totally felt the same way you did!! I was like...why is it happening to me...is there something that I did...is there anything that I could do to make it stop...but I finally got my head around it...and did some research...with TWINS its even MORE common than with one baby...
Stessing over it wont help it stop....I had to get that around my mind...please please know that you are NOT ALONE!!!
Once you see the hearts are beating just fine..and they are doing just fine..you will feel better I PROMISE~
check out my video...I did one just about my bleeding...I really really hope it will help you!!!

Thank you, I did watch your video. And you're so right about the thinking positive. My husband and my mom are constantly getting onto me and telling me how I have to think about everything good. Its silly, but its so hard. I miscarried in January this year at 13+ weeks with really no explanation. And I feel like I'm paying an incredible amount of attention to my body. But things are different this time around since it twins, it seems like a whole new set of rules and that I can't really go based off my previous experiences. Today I do have a little cramping. Nothing bad, so I'm just telling myself they're growing ... come to think of it, I did have cramping this same time I was in my first pregnancy. But then I had no spotting. But the spotting is (TMI) just yucky brown discharge stuff. My mom works at my OB/GYN and I've already had a what feels like a bajillion ultrasounds just for fun as well as to check on me complaining about bleeding. And my next appointment is June 5th, I tell myself that I can wait til then there's no need to go to the Doc every week, haha. When I work I spend the whole day on my feet and it seems like the yucky brown what not starts after I spend 4 or 5 days working.

I don't know ... you're right somehow I just have to find a way to think positive and maybe not ignore what my body is doing but embrace it?? Oh lord I just don't know. Haha, but thank you!!!

Quoting Ashley [12.25.08♥]:“ What does it mean if your babies are measuring two days behind (like your due date says your 7w6d but your babies are measuring 7w4d)...does it mean my original due date (Dec 23) was wrong?  ”

Don't worry too much. I have one of mine a week and a half behind in growth. Let the specalist double check.

Anyone else havea burning sensation under the ribs?

ARGH! It's driving me absolutely crazy!

i used to get that.. i was told it was low heart burn. ouch

Thank you Benny!!
Megs...your sooo right....embrace this pregnancy...we are so lucky and blessed to be having twins...so many moms want twins...be we are the lucky few!! Your babies will be just fine! If you go to the doctors everyweek..to ease your mind..than thats what you need to do! My doctor has advised me that he would see me whenever I need to be seen!
I feel much better now because I KNOW my babies are just fine! But the bledding will stump the best of us!!
I no longer have bleeding either...just that same brown discharge when I wipe...but im ok with it...Im not going to waste my energy stressing over it....I just feel totally blessed!
Cassie~ I sure hope everything is ok!!
I go to the high risk doctor on Wed...im soooo excited..woo hoo....I get to see my little plums again....woo hoo!!!

I am on Zantac (RX strength) already. I think I have one baby who likes to sit in my ribs because it is on the right side only. LOL (stomach is on left of center...)
It's pretty dang painful no matter what it is. It gets worse when I sit down and unbearable when I slouch. At least I am getting good posture out of this pregnancy, if nothing else. (Well, besides the OBVIOUS... 2 gorgeous little bambinos...LOL)

Hello all! Last appointment showed 90% sure they are girls and 90% sure they are still identical.   It may sound silly, but I was equally as happy as bummed. Not that we get to choose these things, but I had my fingers secretly crossed for boy/girl. We will have 3 girls and 1 boy when these come. The boys will be overrun! HAHA I am having trouble with names now too... we had boys nailed down (Zane Isaac and Ty Christian), but only one girl name we both really liked... Erika Brooke. The other ... that he really likes and I'm "so-so" about is : Samantha Jade/Lynn. Samantha is the name we had picked out for a girl when wewere preggers with ourson and I am kinda "burnt out" on it now. Ourother kids are Sayde Danyelle and Logan Matthew (to give an idea of our tastes)... Any ideas forEricka Brooke's sister?

I like Samantha...but I think it's a bit old fashioned and boring. Do you want the other name to start with an 'E'? You should go through the e section of a baby name book.

As for me, I haven't been bleeding since Saturday morning. I'm still doing the brown with the wipe but it's getting fainter. After Friday we got to see the babies again on ultrasound and heard their heartbeats, so I'm not worried so much anymore. This should taper off soon for me.

Twins on the way- you look so cute in your dress!

My hubby and I are holding off even discussing names because we know it's going to be a huge fight, so we're going to wait to know for sure before round one starts! LOL

No - we are not going to do the both starting with E or rhyming or anything. Just not "us".  

Try not to worry. I know it's hard. I just went through having to double check to make sure I didn't have Gestational Diabetes. Yikes! Which is WAY good because I have NO WILLPOWER at ALL.

yeas it is a blessing to have too...babys at once

Awww thank you Msilverbelle!!

Im down to very light brown when I wipe as well...I go to the high risk doctor tomorrow..im soooo excited to see these little wiggle worms again!!!

WE HAVE MOVEMENT LADIES!!!!!!
At first I couldnt tell who was doing it...it was in the center bottom of my belly...well yesterday Baby B (L side) kicked me or something (feels like little plucks in there...LOL) no more than 2 minutes later Baby A (r side) did the same thing...I almost cried!!!!!!
Who knows maby they are punching me...LOL...the only way I can describe it...you know when you pluck someone...its a very very gentle pluck....I was on cloud 9!!!!

My hubby and I chose names that spell eachother backwards for our twins. LOL I have yet to meet a person who hasn't said, "OMG! That is SO COOL!"
Ours are Nadia Raene and Aidan Salmond (The middle names are family names...)

There are other combos out there like that if any one is interested.
