QOTW - Birthplans. They are on my mind. Do you have one? Is it written? What's on it? 

[dukegirlsc]

glb30, thanks for the check in!

I am 32w1d, had a growth scan/BPP this morning and both babies look great weighing in at 4lbs and 4lb4oz. I can't believe I only have 5 weeks to go!!

QOTD: I printed a birth plan off one of the sites and I'm going to fill it in, but with twins it's probably out the window, but having a template was good for me!

[glb30]

@dukesgirlsc congrats on a great scan!!

[Evelyn3]

I am 40w3d and still no concrete signs of labor. Just many irregular contractions. OB appt tomorrow, we will see what's up. Anxiously waiting his arrival now.

QOTD: mine is pretty basic. It's not written, just H and I have discussed it. But we are supposed to write one for nurses.
I just would like a relaxed, dimly lit room and I prefer if nurses do not mention or suggest epidural. I am trying to go without one.

36w1d and glad to have made it this far! Only 10 days to go 😬 and they are flying by. Nst today went well and I have another one on w&f since my bile acids reached the severe range from the ICP and they want to monitor things closely. Really hoping I can dilate on my own more before induction happens.

QOTW: no birth plan. Didn't have one last time either which is probably good since I had a preemie and some of the things I thought about wanting (delayed cord clamping, immediate skin to skin) just were not possible in that case.

Evelyn3 I hope the time until your boy arrives passes quickly! I'll be looking for your announcement!

turquoisequeen So glad you are still here. Glad they are keeping a close eye on your levels!

[glb30]

In week 33 here. My H and I went on a mini babymoon this weekend and just got back this morning. It was so much fun, and so relaxing. I've been so sick though. Just so much vomiting. I finally took the Reglan tonight though and....I THINK it might be working!!

Otherwise, all is well. I had an OB appointment and a NST today, and baby girl is doing great!

QOTW: I don't have one, and didn't plan on making one, but I may print something simple out more to organize my own thoughts.

[turquoisequeen]

glb30 I hope the reglan does the trick! Vomiting is no fun.

Evelyn3 hope you are in labor soon!!

dukegirlsc glad both babies are looking great!

[glb30]

@wineandcupcakes I'm so excited for you to meet your babies tomorrow! Keep us posted

[turquoisequeen]

Squeeee @wineandcupcakes so so soon!! That sounds like a good plan! FX for tomorrow!

[rslh10]

@wineandcupcakes WOAH! Holy moly. I'm so excited for you and I am so thankful you have an amazing doctor who is doing all they can to get those babies here safely. Good luck momma!

[sms2524]

glb30 thanks for the check in! I cannot believe you are STILL dealing with vomiting! Hopefully the Reglan will do the trick, glad your babymoon went well!

dukegirlsc glad all is going well, those are great weights for your twins!

Evelyn3 you must be going crazy, fx baby makes his arrival this week!!!

turquoisequeen glad all is going well and you are hanging in there!

@wineandcupcakes I can't believe you'll have outside babies today!!!! So excited for you to hold your miracles!!!!! Best of luck and can't wait to hear how it all goes!!!

AFM: 33w2d today, all is going well! U/S last week had baby girl in 73% weighing 4lb7oz. Starting weekly NSTs this week, getting really excited for her arrival!!!!

QOTW: Planned c/s so no real birth plan, going to do public cord blood banking and skin to skin ASAP post surgery.

Good luck @wineandcupcakes !

Lurking from 1st tri...

@wineandcupcakes, good luck today!

., I had no birth plan with C and it worked out well. I'm a very "go with the flow" person anyway so a plan just didn't make sense for me. The nurses were all really informative of my options along the way and I was sure to tell them that I wanted an epidural at some point so to not let me get past the point where I could no longer get one. And if you don't have a birth plan you can't get upset if things don't go according to plan because there was no plan on the first place.

...lurker out

[glb30]

@sms2525 I'm glad the ultrasound went well!! When is the cs scheduled for?

. I'm so glad you are feeling a little better today.

[turquoisequeen]

Anyone heard from @wineandcupcakes ? I hope her c/s went well and she has her outside babies!

We are in waiting still! Ice was awful here this morning and so many pregnant women slipped and fell and needed to come in for monitoring (some with broken legs and shoulders) that all of the rooms were taken for hours.

So we wait.

What sucks is that we are likely going to miss visitation and there's a big snow storm tomorrow so I feel bad for my parents.

Oh goodness! Sorry about visitation. Glad you are ok! Best wishes for meeting your babies soon.

[glb30]

@wineandcupcakes hopefully the baby is here now! Hope you all are doing well...sorry about the waiting around!
