36 weeks, 3 days

boy twins, not sure if identical or fraternal

Growth scan, cervical check, and NST tomorrow. Last cervical check was 2 weeks ago and I was 3+cm and fully effaced, so we'll see if there's any progress.

Lots of pelvic pressure and low back cramping. Heartburn mostly at night since they have dropped. Feel full of baby!

I'm ready for these boys to be here!

Love costa rica And hawaii!

Weeks/Fruit: 27w6d

Twin Type: di/di boy/girl twins

AW Appointments/Ultrasounds: I just had a growth scan. My last growth scan there was concern that the size discordance between A&B had increased substantially. Now they are both measuring very small but close in size to each other again. Going back in 2 weeks for another growth scan and if they continue to fall in percentiles, we will start 2x weekly NSTs. Passed my glucose test last week, which I am happy about! I have a fetal echo scheduled next week.

Symptoms: Large and in charge...starting to get increased joint and muscle pain and more heartburn. Sleeping is becoming harder.

Questions/comments/concerns: I'm interested in hearing from others who had growth concerns during 3rd tri...when were the growth issues first identified, how were you monitored, and did growth discordance or IUGR ultimately affect delivery plans?

QOTW: Favorite vacation spot? Where would you like to vacation one day? I would like to visit the Galapagos

[neongreen]

Weeks/Fruit: 19w5d

Twin Type: di/di girl/girl

AW Appointments/Ultrasounds: I had my official A/S on Friday, along with a fetal echocardiogram (recommended by my MFM for all twins). Everything looks great, and both girls are still super-active, to the point where it was sometimes hard for the doctors and techs to see what they needed! The doctor doing the echocardiogram was getting really frustrated, and for a while it looked like I might need to have it done again, but they eventually cooperated. (Baby B held still just long enough for him to see what he wanted, but then wiggled away again before he could get a picture. He was not amused.) Right now, A is measuring at 9 ounces and B is at 11.

Symptoms: Hungry all the freaking time. Fatigue comes and goes. Back pain (sciatica, maybe) started sometime last week and sometimes the stairs hurt.

Questions/comments/concerns: Not much going on here, just gradually trying to get my house in order before I get too big and tired to want to do anything!

QOTW: Favorite vacation spot? Where would you like to vacation one day? I love the Caribbean. At this point in our lives, vacation is hanging out on a beach with a cold drink. One day we'll see the rest of the world, but for now, vacations are for relaxing.

Weeks/Fruit:
26 weeks 3 days heads of lettuce
Twin Type:
B/g
AW Appointments/Ultrasounds:
Go for 3 hr glucose test tomorrow. Not too worried. I seem to flunk my 1 but pass the 3 so hoping that's the case again. Thursday we have a sizing ultrasound.

Symptoms: heartburn, leg pain/hip pain and occasional swelling of feet. It's getting interesting trying to get dressed and at night I'm so uncomfortable.

Questions/comments/concerns: Just concerned with leg pain at night wishing I could get some sleep.

QOTW: Favorite vacation spot? Where would you like to vacation one day? I love anything by the ocean. Dream vacation would be going to the Azores to see my DH's family.

[desertrose27]

Weeks/Fruit: 21 weeks, 2 days

Twin Type: Originally said di/di but last week doctor said mo/di. Need to check on that. Team green.

AW Appointments/Ultrasounds: Follow up ultrasound on Friday to catch a few things that were missed on the anatomy scan.

Symptoms: Lots and lots of sinus drainage. It's more of a concern when I'm sleeping as the constant post nasal drip will cause me to either snore or cough and wake up. Can't get appointment with ENT for another 3 weeks. It better not make me sick.

Questions/comments/concerns: The mo/di thing was out of the blue and kind of irritating to me. I doubt it, for some reason, as it's much more common for IVF twins to be di/di. My husband just thinks I'm in denial. Maybe I am. :-P

QOTW: Favorite vacation spot? Where would you like to vacation one day? I love to travel and go to new places. I've only been overseas once (though I almost made it several times). I would love to go again someday, probably to Italy as there is so much to see and do there.

desertrose27 Team Green with twins? Kudos to you!!

neongreen My babies are always moving and seem to only be in perfect u/s for a split second. It's becoming a good laugh watching them do a 180 once the tech is getting good pictures!

[sugar4bri]

Weeks/Fruit: 25w5d cauliflower

Twin Type: frat b/g

AW Appointments/Ultrasounds:
I was supposed to have an OB appt and my glucose test, but got a call yesterday that due to the snow they were going to be closed today. Too bad we didn't get anywhere near the amount of snow they predicted. I've got to call tomorrow to reschedule.

Symptoms: I had the WORST case of gas last night/this morning. I could actually feel the bubbles across my stomach. Other than that, just the usual backache and my stomach gets sore while I'm at work.

Questions/comments/concerns: Nothing really today.

QOTW: Favorite vacation spot? Where would you like to vacation one day?

I loved Aruba and Key West! I'd like to travel to Italy one day.

Hello! I just intro'd and thought I should post here too!

Weeks/Fruit: 12w5d plums

Twin Type: fraternal

AW Appointments/Ultrasounds: NT scan was today and both babies looked great! Next USis AS in March. Next OB appointment in a week and a half.

Symptoms: Just really tired. Boobs still a little sore.

Questions/comments/concerns: Anyone with travel restrictions? A close friend is getting married this summer and I am not sure if I will make it to her shower and bach party (most likely in June - I'll be 30+ weeks). She lives a 3 hour car ride away.

QOTW: Favorite vacation spot? Where would you like to vacation one day? Oh so many places I want to go. I want to go to the Netherlands, Australia, Great Britain, Charleston, Vancouver. I could keep going. I have had great vacations in Utah, and Italy/Greece/Turkey, Maine.

SassyPants150 I went to St. Lucia on my honeymoon and it was lovely!

Yup! My husband eventually convinced me.  The clothes and the nursery can be worked around (and neutral is advantageous if I end up having b/g anyway).  Everyone can just wait until later to buy the pink or blue outfits.
