[julie216]

Weeks/Fruit: 26w3d, iceberg lettuce

Sexes/Twin Type: g/g fraternal

Symptoms/Rants: sciatica is brutal...

AW/Appointments/Ultrasounds: Had an MFM appointment with u/s last week at 25w2d Both babies measured just under 2 lbs and cervix was long & closed. They didn't give me a measurement, just said long & closed. I have my OB appointment in 2 weeks and another MFM appointment. I'll be 28w at that point.

Questions/Comments/Concerns: nope....not this week!

QOTW: What's your favorite thing to eat for breakfast? Ugh... I could eat breakfast food for every meal....I would have to say pancakes with blueberries whipped butter and lots of maple syrup....oh my... I think I want some now! Actually DH makes this for me with bacon & home fries every Sunday. I don't know how I haven't gained more then 25 lbs yet!

Squishy622, If you've had your surgery, hope all went ok... if you haven't, good luck!

Squishy622, I don't post often because I am too busy with school but I still occasionally lurk. Anyways I am having mo/di as well and they are more high risk because they share a placenta. There is a lot of solid research advocating for delivery of mo/di twins no later than 37 weeks. The placenta degrading is one factor, but they are also at a higher risk of developing TAPS. I have been seeing an MFM every two weeks since 16 weeks, it has been a rough pregnancy! I'm being delivered in 2 weeks at 37 weeks. Good luck to you, feel free to pm me if you have other questions or want to chat.
