Multiples Monday Weekly Check In

[breezyweezer]

I don't know if there is a certain person doing these or just whoever? Anyways I was up early and bored so I thought I would start it.

Weeks/Fruit:
23 and I don't keep up with the fruit


Twin Type:
Identical girls


AW Appointments/Ultrasounds:
MFM last week went great. Cervix still long which was my main concern. Babies are about a pound each and only an oz. difference.


Symptoms:
SPD. The vagina/pubic bone pain is so severe. Other than that I am having a really good pregnancy I feel like it could be so much worse and am very grateful.


Questions/comments/concerns:
I can NOT decide on names and am getting tired of people asking. I think I will have a list and then when I see my girls I will know which name fits them.


QOTW: Do you want more kids?  I am undecided on this one. My fiance is one of those "gotta have a son" types but honestly I wasn't even sure I wanted to have my own children in the first place. I have always wanted to be a foster parent and I think two of my own is plenty.

Weeks/Fruit:
34, 4 days. I don't keep up we the fruit either..


Twin Type:
Frat boys


AW Appointments/Ultrasounds:
After being breech for the last 5/6 weeks, we found out last appt that B is now head down with his brother, making a vaginal attempt a lot less stressful for me.


Symptoms:
Nothing much,,the boys stretch out throughout the day and that's pretty uncomfortable, but then they curl back into fetal..so I can deal pretty well with it..


Questions/comments/concerns:
Just want to deliver healthy babies..getting close!


QOTW: Do you want more kids? Maybe..we have one embryo left in the freezer. We are not sure at this point..

BTW, Hai...I'm a bump transplant..not sure how many will recognize me over here! Wanted to introduce myself...

AW Appointments/Ultrasounds:
I have possibly my last u/s this Wednesday and I'm on to weekly appointments!


Symptoms:
Exhausted. I hit my wall by noon and really wish I didn't work so I could just nap.


Questions/comments/concerns:
I just want to make it to 35 weeks! I'm so close!


QOTW: Do you want more kids?
I already have a DD and DS so these are the final installments to our family unit.

breezyweezer nope no one is assigned to them. Whoever wants to start the thread can. Suggestion tho: maybe next time post the questions in a thread then answer them in a new thread. Makes it easier for copy and pasting the questions.

Weeks/Fruit:26/ heads of lettuce we're on to the veggies lol



Twin Type: di.di boys



AW Appointments/Ultrasounds: I have an ultrasound at MFM on friday which also is my bday yay



Symptoms: ughh still all the same crappy symptoms. I think Ive been having some braxton hicks too. heartburn, acid reflux, back ache, hip and pelvis pain at times, I can tell babies are in a growth spurt bc I'm hungry all the time.



Questions/comments/concerns:



QOTW: Do you want more kids? I do not wan't any more kids as of right now. We always talked about having two kids a few years apart then got blessed with these two lil men on the first go around. Plus I don't like being pregnant so from the beginning i said I don't think id be able to do this again (before finding out it was twins) lol

Weeks/Fruit:
25+3/Cauliflower

Twin Type:
Fraternal b/g

AW Appointments/Ultrasounds:
Nothing until next week. 4 weeks always feels like forever in between. I always start to get paranoid around this time.

Symptoms:
Fatigue, RLP, Bloody Nose, Braxton hicks

Questions/comments/concerns:
I believe my days are starting to get numbered teaching fitness classes at the gym. I was SO achy teaching tonight. My feet and hips were practically giving me the middle finger. It's such a bummer.

QOTW: Do you want more kids?


Really though, all joking aside, a long time ago I wanted 3. Then I decided I didn't want to be pregnant more than once after DD. DH made financial plans based on only having 2 so twins really threw the chips in the air. I am thrilled but shop is closing after these two without a doubt.

Weeks/Fruit:
20w5d


Twin Type:
Fraternal girls


AW Appointments/Ultrasounds:
I was supposed to have an appointment with the regular OB today, but it was canceled due to the weather. I have to call tomorrow to reschedule.


Symptoms:
The sciatica is awful. I was going to ask the doctor today for a referral to a chiropractor or massage therapist, since the heating pad isn't doing much anymore and I don't want to overdo on the Tylenol.


Questions/comments/concerns:
We still have so much to do to get the nursery ready, but it's hard to get motivated with me being in pain and DH being busy/tired from work


QOTW: Do you want more kids?
We keep saying we're not going to make any long-term decisions just yet, but I think I'd be fine being done with two girls.

Weeks/Fruit:
26w5d

Twin Type:
Frat b/g

AW Appointments/Ultrasounds:
I start 2 week appointments in 3 weeks! I also need to eat more because I've only gained 11lbs. Babies are still growing though, so that's a plus!

Symptoms:
Exhaustion, nausea due to acid reflux, nose bleeds, hemorrhoids and some lower abdomen pains (when I'm at work), which I'm wondering if they're BH or not. I'm just a ball of fun right now

Questions/comments/concerns:
I'm having some minor anxiety about something going wrong and I'm assuming it's because of how many twin mommas lately who have had pprom or ptl. All of these women are amazing and strong and I'm just terrified that I won't be able to handle it if it happens to me.


QOTW: Do you want more kids?
This is tough. DH only really ever wanted one, but I've always wanted at least two. Considering we struggled with IF, I'm thinking we are definitely done. But I can't rule it out indefinitely.

Weeks/Fruit:
27 weeks 5 days

Twin Type:
Frat b/g

AW Appointments/Ultrasounds:
Next Tuesday I start my every two weeks appointments. Had a sonogram Thursday and babies are still right on schedule for size. I've only gained 13 lbs but doctors have never even mentioned. I think as long as babies are growing well they are ok with it.

Symptoms:
Acid reflux and throwing up from it. Also can't eat a lot as I get full so soon. Hip pain at night. Ankles swelling a little. Not sleeping well do to hip pain and having to pee lol.

Questions/comments/concerns: I've got a ton of questions for my doctors as I feel there's a lot we haven't covered and not much time left. Debating placenta pills, doula(I have a friend who recently got certified and has helped deliver 5 babies. But it's still going to cost me a lot to hirer her) delayed cord clamping, cord blood banking etc. my mind is sort of in overdrive.

QOTW: Do you want more kids?
I always wanted 3-4. But it took us so long and we went through so much to get these two. I can't say 100% but most likely this will be it.

[chiwifey]

Weeks/Fruit:
9/olive or grape

Twin Type:
frat b/g


AW Appointments/Ultrasounds:
next u/s is next Tues to check for growth


Symptoms:
I am so dizzy and lightheaded and pretty exhausted by the afternoon.


Questions/comments/concerns:
When will the realty of having twins set in? I can still barely believe I'm pregnant!


QOTW: Do you want more kids? We already have 1 so these LOs will make 3. We still have 2 frozen embryos but thinking about that right now gives me anxiety.

[desertrose27]

Weeks/Fruit:
22 weeks

Twin Type:
Di/Di; Team Green

AW Appointments/Ultrasounds:
Had a follow up U/S from my anatomy scan on Friday to catch some things that were missed the first time. Everything looks good and they are about a pound each.

Symptoms:
Still have the massive sinus issues. I have existing sinus/pulmonary issues and the pregnancy has made it worse, especially on the weekends when I sleep longer. It's a constant post nasal drip that causes a lot of coughing & trouble breathing through my nose. I have an appointment with my ENT in 3 weeks, so hopefully I can deal with it until then.

Questions/comments/concerns:
Not a concern, but I brought my 7 week ultrasound in to my appointment on Friday. I was hoping for some clarity on the di/di or mono/di issue. They are now saying that the earlier ultrasound looks di/di so they must have implanted very close together.

QOTW: Do you want more kids?
I am a first time mom and right now I am saying I don't want any more, regardless of the genders. That could change when they get here and we do have some frozen embryos left over. However, I'm an only child and so right now more than 2 kids seems like it would be too overwhelming.

Hi! I'm fairly new around here and look forward to getting to know everyone. 

Weeks/Fruit:
19 weeks today. Mango.


Twin Type:
Fraternal B/G


AW Appointments/Ultrasounds:
Very boring visit last week. Just checked to see if there were still 2 heartbeats. Anatomy scan coming up at 21 weeks so excited for that. 

Symptoms:
I'm trying to ween myself off of unisom/b6 and the m/s is back. I'm not throwing up so I wont' go back on the meds, but I feel like crap all day which sucks when you are chasing around a 2 year old. 


Questions/comments/concerns:
Struggling with nursery ideas for b/g. Can't decide if I want to do navy/pink or pick a gender neutral "theme" like primary colors/alphabet. What are other b/g moms doing?


QOTW: Do you want more kids?  NO! I have always wanted 2 boys and a girl and these babies will complete that fantasy for me. Very excited. DH only wanted 2 kids, so I feel "lucky" that we were blessed with spontaneous twins so I didn't have to talk him into a 3rd baby. We will be scheduling the vasectomy for DH soon after the birth. We both feel very done!
